The Air Hostess

[strivingobserver98]

For a bland meal from a painted air hostess, you give a hundred watt smile,
You strike a pose, and thank her, giving her your best "I am a good guy" style!

All for absolutely nothing, for to being nice to you, isn't from her heart, she is being paid!
You are just another passenger, even if from economy class you got an upgrade!

And then when you come home you decide to do some loadshedding,
Gone is the 100 watt smile, despite the love filled meal and freshly prepared bedding!

You scowl and grunt your way through the evening, displaying your "Bad Boy" attitude,
And every gesture of kindness towards you is responded in a manner that is rude!

Oh foolish man!
You did it to your mother, and now your wife,
Cutting up their hearts with your ungrateful knife!

The daughters of this Ummah, if you do not appreciate,
You will lose them, and your regret will be too late!

(Moulana Muhammad Omarjee)

Great poem mashaAllah :thumbs_up

I came this this one recently, also by Maulana Muhammad Omarjee:

Dear Moulana, please excuse my son for not being there,
The School kept him in because of his sporting flair!
On Monday the coach called him for soccer training,
And on Tuesday he was tired and his legs were paining!
On Wednesday, Cricket was what kept him away,
And he hurt his wrist so he couldn't come on Thursday.
On Friday, he tried very hard to be present in your class,
But, he was given a position in the team that he just couldn't pass!
Dear Parent, It is quite fine by me if, for your son, that is what you chose,
As long as you know, that by planting a thorn, you cannot expect a rose!
At your janazah, do not expect a son who will make dua for you and read Surah Yaseen,
But know, that around your grave, he will dribble and stutter, for, you made dribbling his deen!

The last part "The daughters of this Ummah" bit confusing me. But maybe Maulana was talking about the mothers and the wives, not the men who this naseeha was written for.

I think originally this naseeha was not in English.

Yes I know. But I know it after I read again the naseeha above and I realized, that's poem!. Of course, the writing style for poem is different than for essay.
