What Was It Made For?
by Sufian Akram
GBR
 

Was the night made for the moon? or the moon made for the night?

Imagine how dark life would be if we were never given sight?
Yet we act so blind to all the signs and we fail to see the light,
Constantly pushed towards the wrong, how will we ever do right?
Do people not reflect when they see day change into night?

So was the sun made for the moon or the moon made for the sun?

Every day from place to place we run,
Like we are so busy for everything which matters, but not when its time for fun,
Do you think the birds ever forget to sing in the day?
So how is it that we forget to pray?
And does the sun ever forget to rise?
Tell me have we not gone blind?

So were our eyes made for the world's beauty? Or the worlds beauty made for our eyes?

How is it that we somehow mistake this world for paradise?
We only see what is apparent to our eyes,
Not that which lies beneath, tell me what do we despise?

So was the world made for the creatures? Or the creatures for the world?

Tilted on its axis, everyday day does the earth not swirl?
Who keeps the clouds high in the sky? And gravity which stops us rise?
Who maintains this precision in the universe And does not let planets collide?
Why are we so ashamed and afraid to mention his name why do we hide?

So was paradise made for the people? Or the people made for paradise?

Why is it that inside our souls cry,
To return to that same place where we were given life,
Why is it through only his remembrance do our hearts find rest.

So were questions made for answers? or answers made for questions?
Whatever the question or answer may be it is only he who knows best.
