MY ROOTS

Over The hills and far away

There is my homeland

I miss each day.

The little land

With the ocean shore.

There are my roots.

Those who came before.

It used to be

That Danes like me

Could trace their roots

Back to Vikings Days.

Things are changing, I fear

That the future search, for Danes like me

Will no longer be there.

The Danish roots, as we know them now

Will be replaced somehow

With the Huns and those came

From the lands below.

And soon the Danes will see

That their roots, I fear

Will disappear.

The future Danes

Will not search their roots like me

From Kings and Queens

And their Royal heirs.

They will declare Shahadah.

Ramadan and Zakat.

The Danes will go to Hajj.

Shahadah= Muslim Declaration of Faith

Zakat= Muslim almsgiving

Ramadan=Muslim Fast

Salat= Muslim Daily Prayers

Haij=Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca
