Ramadan a month of Change

Ramadan has indeed arrived
Rewards earned, benefits derived
For some it is a time for change
Yet for some it's a time deranged

This month's supposed to install fear
Avoid evil; good deeds endear
Each day when fast starts and cease
We ask ourselves "Does my fear increase?"

How easy 'tis to commit sins,
Just before Ramadan begins?
Is it still easier to do?
Easy as untying your shoe?

Or now is it a bit harder?
Committing sin with great ardor.
Before 'twas none but now think twice
Afraid to pay that painful price

Is it still easy to tell lie;
To someone you just made cry?
Is it still easy to hide the truth?
Well hidden like impacted tooth.

Is it still easy to miss Salah?
Lazy to stand ya Abdallah?
Or perform the one that Im afraid
Salah so late and so delayed.

Is it still easy to follow your lust?
To look at women from dawn till dusk?
Your computer screen behold appeared
A body so bioengineered!

Or at weary food that you devoured
At iftar time, that you engorged
Stomach full and full much more
that youd fall asleep and hit the floor

How 'bout then your crave to smoke?
Though Scholars warned and do revoke
Your lungs and heart unwell and damned
Its not makruh, it's clear Haram

How 'bout you, you married guy?
Are you not then afraid to die?
That woman to adulterate?
No sacred bond to amalgamate?

And yes to you Oh sister dear
The fitnah caused both far and near
You think your beauty is an asset?
Unless you cover. it is bad debt

And oh the youth that chit and chat
At TN's window like mouse and cat
Though much of good has come from it
More bad it brings I must admit

So help me my fellow TNetizens
The Tausug folks of global denizens
To answer the queries I posted above
To ask ourselves of each thereof

So do we find ourselves at ease?
To act and say like as we please
Is it not that Ramadan's for change
A better Muslim, a wise exchange.
