ODE: "OH YE OUR FATHER AND LEADER" BY ABDUL AZEEM

Do you consider yourself a giver or a taker?

A genuine human being or a selfish faker?

Don't help if you expect something in return,

do it cause you wish to, a valuable lesson to learn.

All too many people in the world today

have hidden agendas and don't mean what they say,

never sparing a thought for those in need,

brushing off those that are left to plead.

Oh ye our father!

But then someone kindhearted comes along,

restoring faith in mankind when you thought it all gone,

someone who helps without blinking an eye,

someone who is honest and doesn't lie.

Oh ye our father!

Someone who helps those in need,

reassuring them for help they needn't plead,

teaching and educating those wanting to learn,

providing opportunities so an income they can earn.

Oh ye our leader!

Being an inspiration or role model if you may,

being supportive in showing an alternate an way,

that is a giver as I would define,

someone that stands out in a line.

Oh ye our leader!

Proving to all what they say is true,

helping us carve invaluable intentions through,

unfortunately only found in Prof. Kabir Olawale Paramole

May Allah continue to be with you Sir,

Allahuma Aaaaammiiiiin...
