Tawhid Au Shirk

[RareForm]

There's a spot
under your aristocratic mind
easily magnifiable
Where you used to
think like my saviour
But that has deteriorated
Oh- Day by day
As you see through eventuality-
As you pass through conformity-
Everywhere you reach
A hand is there, a helping hand,
to help you share, to cripple-
Is it warming to bear?

Objection was the philosophy,
A feeling of responsibility
Learning to question
It was the new age
A new wave of thinking
To never settle with comfort
-'Brother, you have to inspect,
their minds, their reason'-
But never-the-less
your smile grows richer
and the stain where you stand
gets thicker
I lost sight of you, and myself
and a weathered allegiance
that was gained of false intention
You'll never rebound
But as I will say,
It was a small price to pay for such a bad revolution.

Yeah I think this is very strong... the opening lines and the last line especially.

I confess I had to look up the meaning of the title - my Arabic isn't quite up to scratch! But now that I understand it, I think it's very fitting, and can get much more out of the piece, with these lines in particular taking on a powerful, challenging aspect:

-'Brother, you have to inspect,
their minds, their reason'-

They seem authentic, as if spoken to the mind.

I know this is a personal question, but was Islam part of your upbringing? Or is this more a case of "getting into character"?

Thank you endlessly, your words are too kind.

Actually no, Islam wasn't really, but I do have an abundance of culture, being Italian/German, learning French and other cultures and religions, so yea, definitely "getting into character".
