When life rages around you
When you smell death in every corner
When the good and the noble get slaughtered before your very eyes
Don’t ever lose hope
Remember
Goodness is organic
Just like life
It never fades away
It never ever dies
Constantly I wonder
How can any mortal
With only human capacity
Live… and die
Without leaving any one
Feeling anything
Towards him
But genuine love
And immense admiration
Is that at all possible?
Can that human be real?
How can someone
Be adored so much,
By so many,
For such a length of time?
Your selfless soul
Lived only to serve others
Your great big heart
Always made room for all
Your brilliant mind
An inspiration to many
Your time was never yours alone
If I didn’t know you
If I didn’t live with you
I would’ve found this notion
Difficult to believe
But Habibi… you are real
You lived an exemplary life
That’s difficult to imitate
Hard to live up to
So is it any wonder
That I always wonder
