Alhamdulliah

If you woke up this morning
with more health than illness,
you are more blessed than the
million who won’t survive the week.

If you have never experienced
the danger of battle,
the loneliness of imprisonment,
the agony of torture or
the pangs of starvation,
you are ahead of 20 million people
around the world.

If you attend a social meeting
without fear of harassment,
arrest, torture, or death,
you are more blessed than almost
three billion people in the world.

If you have food in your refrigerator,
clothes on your back, a roof over
your head and a place to sleep,
you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank,
in your wallet, and spare change
in a dish someplace, you are among
the top 8% of the worlds wealthy.

Unseen Friend

It's time for another rap, feels like years since the last one, but the new one is called "Unseen Friend". Read it and tell me what you think!

Smelling the breaze of the sapphire sky
Smiling my joy to the setting sun
This moment I cherish as a high
But not all have been like this one
Sometimes I was chained by the lows and grief
Never thought I could turn another leaf
Exhausted I was with no hope to breathe
But the answers lay close beneath

Though I can't see you
I know you're always there
Saved me from darkness, from the jaws of despair
You're someone I can trust
Someone I can turn to
Compassionate and Just
Giver of Peace, beyond the end
You're my Unseen Friend
