The Revenge of the Believers
When the time of doubt knocks the doors
The revenge of the believers is to believe even more
When it’s the time of the offence and attack
The revenge of the believers is to forgive even more
When the moment of hardship and delusion comes
The revenge of the believers is to praise even more
When the time of sacrifice and yelps and howls comes
The revenge of the believers is to worship even more
When the time of war and disagreements comes
The revenge of the believers is to reconcile even more
When the death and sickness make their visit
The revenge of the believers is to hope in miracles even more
When the time of hunger and scarcity comes
The revenge of the believers is to share their possessions even more
When hatred and rancour fall unto them
The revenge of the believers is to love even more
When it’s the moment of silence and darkness
The revenge of the believers is to shine even more
When disappointments, tears and frustrations come
The revenge of the believers is to smile and laugh even more
When the anxiety of life and problems multiply
When the struggles of being alive surpass the heat of the sun
If the world seems to be into hell’s flame
The revenge of the believers is to feel in heaven even more
When you bow your knees in prayer and you share bread with others,
Even if no one else can ever see your great actions
The revenge of you is to make a paradise on earth
Bring heaven to the hopeless and to the poor, so that with you
They can also praise, dance, sing and adore better than ever before.
The revenge of the believers is to foster in God’s will even more…
