Make Prayer

Ayat 239. And even if you face the state of fear, still perform the Prayer whether on foot or riding; and when you are secure, remember Allah in the manner that He taught you, the manner that you did not know earlier.

~Holy Quran. Surah Al Baqara

Reflecting on all the excuses, justifications, and straight out refusals I've engaged in to NOT do "the Prayer".

If I believe

And

I do. 

Why

Do

I

Let you and your foolish ways

Matter. 

It's because

I've become

Fragmented. 

Too much misinformation

Has muddied the water

I drink. 

In looking for the perfect beat,

I'm playing too many records

At the same time. 

Busy

My brothers

So

Busy

They've lost

Touch

Of the prize. 

My brothers

Stay

Busy

I can see it

In the redness

Of 

Their eyes. 

My brothers

Too busy

Building

With a deck

Of cards. 

Or is it

Stack

Of 

Lies. 

It's all

The

Same

Too busy.

No

Need

To

Ask

Why.

My brothers

Dope as Hell. 

Wack as Hell. 

Two sides

One Card.

Respect

Been a fan

Of

Graffiti writers

Since I saw the first tag.

I was young.

Very young. 

If I share

You probably

Think that I lie. 

I am impressed

By how expansive

The font has grown. 

I am impressed

On how

A well executed tag

Still carries weight

In a culture that's developed

The art form

To include MASSIVE productions

On sides of skyscrapers.

I respect

The humble spirit

Of

Those

With great talent.

Peace to the movement.
