Gift Blessing


The greatest gift I ever received
Is the day when she said: “I do”
Her agreement to be my one and only
Has been a daily joy
Even on rough waters
She brings me unspeakable happiness

I am blessed
The lord has blessed me
Many times over
The lord has blessed me
By finding my perfect match
My soul-twin
My better half

Found It


I was looking for comfort
In a dry harsh environment
I was looking for peace
Among the savages of war
I was looking for truth
From the tongues that lie
Until one day
I picked up a book
Forgotten, dusty
In reading this book I found the truth
I found peace
I found comfort
The bone desert was now teaming with springs
Lush gardens, tropical fruit
Riches beyond riches
Each word brought me new life
New revelation
The name of this book is called the Qur’an

Pickle Jar Kitchen (A Review)


Recently I ate at the Pickle Jar Kitchen knowing nothing but its name and its neat stain glass pickle window. Let me start off by saying that the food was good, drinks were over priced three dollars for a coke bottle that you can get for a dollar at the local seven-eleven, or rite aid, both are up the street.
What I didn’t like were the people working. They all walked around with grumpy looks on their faces, moving as slow as molasses. Not one staff member smiled or even looked like they even cared to be there.
While I was being seated the lady whipping my table down was in mid argument with a customer giving snippy comments and rolling her eyes something you don’t even see at McDonalds. Our waiter came but seemed reluctant to answer our questions and kept trying to walk off before we could ask another question. These weren’t annoying questions just what type of bread came with the meal and what the most popular dish is. I would only see him two more times ounce when he brought the food and the second when he brought the bill in mid meal. Other than that he was a ghost and he never brought or even asked if I wanted more water or even how the meal was.
At the end of the meal I put my credit card and waited for it to be picked up. Every staff member walked by looked at and didn’t take it. My waiter was off in back talking to someone glancing over occasionally but making no effort to come get the bill. So after ten minutes I got up and went to the hostess, she was on the phone blabbing to a friend about something she did with somebody. She looked at me as if she couldn’t be bothered reluctantly took my credit card ran it through as fast as a sloth then paused, talked some more on the phone before she gave me back my credit card and paused again, talked, before she handed me my recent. I then signed the recent leaving to tip what so ever. I promptly left.
When I got down the street a lady yelled from behind me I turned around and it was the hostess demanding to know why I didn’t leave a tip. Instead of telling her how much the service sucked, and explaining that gratuity/tips is not automatic “Extra Money” from paying Customers. I gave her an offhanded excuse; she looked baffled and sheepishly walked back towards the restaurant.  The fact that she actually took the time to leave her post and chase me showed me how unprofessional everyone in that establishment is.
I get that it sucks getting paid the two dollars and hour bit but customers are not responsible for making up the difference. According to the State of Massachusetts if you do not get an hourly wage of ten dollars an hour your employer has to make up the difference. So maybe the Pickle Jar should pay its staff more instead of relying on Customers to support the financial needs of it’s of its employees.
Remember no one owes you a gratuity/tip. And no one else in any other industry gets tips for doing there job properly, consider yourself fortunate to be in an industry that allows such a privilege  but it is a privilege not a right.
In reading other reviews of the Pickle Jar Kitchen it seems like it’s a hit or miss place as far as the staff is concerned.  If I was to recommend this place it would be for take out only because the food is rather good but who wants to deal with a moody staff? Not me.

Deleted Hour


Cracks in the wall
Dimension overload
Cracks in the wall
All-seeing eye peering
Cracks in the wall
Light shimmering movement
Cracks in the wall
Ignore the corners of your pupils

Angelic green eyes
Gaze up at the moonless night
Waiting for a moment
Surely to come
Out of sync with your expectations
Cracks in the wall
Dimension overload
Cracks in the wall
All-seeing eye peering
Cracks in the wall
Light shimmering movement
Cracks in the wall
Ignore the corners of your pupils

Days


Days wasted
Glazed eyes
Soft glow
Computers
Phones
Television
The outside world
Its noise
Its beauty
Ever becoming more alien
While the numbness is more and more normal

Days wasted

Beans and Peas: The Europeans place in Asia


I like good peas and beans. I am going to save 8% of the Europeans, because they are good farmers- Noble Drew Ali

The above statement is from the Oral sayings of Noble Drew Ali as told by Brother T. Booker Bey. When I first read this I thought it was a weird thing to say, surely there will be Asiatic Farmers and Noble Drew Ali always taught that the Asiatic should do for themselves akin to other nations. So I decided to read through the other statements to get a feel for the place of the Europeans after the devastation takes place and the world is set back in order. Let’s not kid ourselves; the world is not in proper standing in these days and if you think this world is as it should be then you are fooling yourselves.

Before I get into details I would like to look at the two foods that Noble Drew Ali said he liked. First, it is the only statement that has any mention of food in it. I’m also not sure of the European connection and I’ll get to why further in this article.

The first food mentioned is Peas, Peas are a very healthy fruit, they are good for weight management, protection from stomach cancer, are an anti-aging agent, build strong immune system, gives a person high energy, prevents wrinkles, prevents Alzheimer’s, prevents arthritis, prevents bronchitis, prevents osteoporosis, regulates blood pressure, helps prevent heart disease, prevents constipation, and reduces cholesterol.

The second food mentioned is beans the magical fruit as they say and it maybe true but not for the reasons most assume. Beans prevent heart disease, fight cancer, lowers cholesterol, helps lose weight, helps manage diabetes, this works great with peas and including more peas and beans in your diet seems to have great benefits. It should be noted that much of what we now know about these foods were not known or at least not well known in the time when Noble Drew Ali walked this fine earth.
According to Sheik Way-El 8% of Europeans will recognize the truth in the teachings of Noble Drew Ali by accepting the cords that bind the human family, these Europeans will be motivated and accept the teachings including the racial aspects in total. These Europeans will no longer see themselves as separate from humanity but one with humanity. They will stop causing discord in the world and live in peace and harmony with their Asiatic brothers and sisters the lion and the lamb lying in the open field. They will also remain separate by bringing back segregation on a worldwide scale as it was ordained by Allah to be.

The Europeans that will be saved will be farmers both of land and of the Islamic law I say this because Noble Drew Ali said that the Europeans would be upholders of the law in another part of the Oral tradition. When one reads the various saying and literature set down by Noble Drew Ali it seems that the Europeans will go back to Europe forever leaving the rest of the world to the original people. They will be upholders of Islamic law, they will accept Islam as there way of life, force those Moors clinging to Christianity into the Temple and get right, and ounce home (back to Europe) they will build there own Temples, and like I said before they will not mix with the original people of this planet we call earth.

In our days we are seeing plenty of Europeans waking up to the reality of Islam and accepting the teachings and culture. We are also seeing a spike in the membership in the Moorish Orthodox Church that temple of Europeans (and some Asiatic) that accepts Islam through the Moors. The Moorish Orthodox Church even has a few temples in Europe prepared for the eventual return of their European brothers and sisters in America.

By 2050 Europeans will be the minority in both Europe and in America, by 2060 they will be down to ten percent as we are seeing the words of Noble Drew Ali are coming to pass. If you are of European descent and wish to know what the future holds for you if you join the light of Islam then read and reread this article and be prepared. If you think what I write is folly then keeps on going your merry way and when the devastation comes don’t come crying to me.

Before I end this I would like to add that it doesn’t matter what form of Islam the European takes in many instances when Noble Drew Ali talked about Islam he wasn’t always referring to Islamism but Islam in all its forms and branches. When he said 8% of Europeans will be saved he meant from what I have gathered all those who have accepted Islam period, Sunni, Shiite, Sufi, it simply doesn’t matter. By accepting Islam as both religion and culture they will automatically be doing everything that Noble Drew Ali said they would do. So don’t fray over the branch you feel called to just accept it in Peace, Love, Truth, Freedom, Justice, and Beauty.

Cat-It


Psychotic- Mantic
Freeze Frame- Frantic
Impulse- Closet
Dead End- Cycle

I the bush in flames
Never hearing a word
Holy Presence is here
No one wants to accept

Who am I to preach to the masses?
When I’m just as messed up as them
Who am I to call aloud?
When all my flaws are inside

I’m no different than they
I’m worse than they are
I should have known better

A lounging cat on a coffee table
That’s all I am
A lounging cat on a coffin table
Next to a glass of seltzer water

Birth to Death Cycle

I open my eyes
Arabic flowing in the air
Above the sounds of nature and technology
I wash
I get prepared
Lay down the carpet
Waiting for last double words
None is deity except Allah
Fajr starts
After a brief moment
It ends

The Day is set
Clock is ticking
Towards the next prayer
I go about my day to day
Chatting, buying, selling,
Losing track of time until
Arabic flows in the air again
Above the sounds of nature and technology
Just like that my time has ended
I prepare
Lay down the Carpet
Asr starts
A brief moment
It ends

Feeling renewed
The Clock is ticking
Towards the next prayer
Towards my Death
I ask myself
Am I prepared
Because when the final call comes
I wont be able to resume
If my prayers sneak up on me
Though I know the set times
How much quicker
Will death come without warning

All our clocks are ticking
Throughout the day we are born
We die
over and over
Sleeping and waking is symbolic
Of our birth and demise

We tune it out
Think nothing of it
Just go about our day to day
Subconsciously knowing
Our time is ticking down

I would write more
But Arabic is flowing in the air
It's time for me to die
To be reborn
Maghrib has come
I must get ready
God willing I'll be back

Clearing Confusion: Not all Hebrews are Israelites

 As I meet people and read many differing topics I always come across people claiming to be Hebrews and by being Hebrew they are thus Israelites. Not only are they Israelites but everyone who shares whatever traits they might have whether it be skin tone, shared history, or world view to be Israelites as well, the problem is that just because you share skin tones, history, or what have you doesn't mean you are the same people. True, you both may be Hebrews but that doesn't mean you are both Israelites or share the same religion. In our modern times most people forget that Hebrew people are a group of Semetic people (not all Semites are Hebrews) usually descending from Western Africa and Eastern Middle East.

 The one thing all Hebrew share is a lineage that is: Noah, Shem, and Eber (Hebrews are named after Eber that could possibly mean those who crossed over because they crossed over from Africa into the Mid East). Not all Hebrews are children of Abraham because Abraham was himself a Hebrew person this is another misnomer that people seem to make.

So then who are the Hebrews? They are as Follows

Israelites- the Children of Jacob, son of Isaac, grandson of Abraham.

Samaratians- are Israelites who broke off with the rest of Israel after Moses died.

Ishmaelites- Children of Ishmael, son of Abraham (through Hagar his slave), Ishmaelites are one of the groups that make up the people of the Middle East, some Arabs are Ishmaelites but not all.

Edomites- children of Esau, named after the oldest son of Isaac.

Moabites- children of Moab, a son of Lot through incest with one of his daughters

Ammorites- Children of Ben-Ammi, a son of Lot through incest with one of his daughters

Midinites- Children of Midian, Son of Abraham (through his wife Keturah)

Qahtanites- Children of Joktan, Son of Eber, the original Arabs before the arrival of the Ishmaelites.

 So these groups are the Hebrews, next time you claim to be Hebrew or you think you are Hebrew, or you want to claim it why not try a different Hebrew group than Israel all the time and refrain from saying statements like "all Hebrews are Israelites" or "All my people are Hebrews" because these people were a dark skinned people that may have shared some ancestors, some cultural baggage, but they were not all the same. We must also remember that the Children of Ham were also a dark skinned people but they were not Hebrews so to make generalizations or to think they were the same is to grossly misunderstand who these people are/were and it does a great injustice when people try to lump them in all together.

Never Knew

I never knew how to say good-bye
Those words, the finality
I always tare the last page out
Stories never have to end
Why must all our stories end?

Now you're in front of me
No longer flesh only a memory
A ghost lost in time
Asking me to fix my bow tie
Smile with a swagger
And say the words I hate

Why must our stories end?
Why must I embrace the finality?
Half hearted I walk myself through the words
Ounce uttered
You vanish from my sight
Among the ethers you'll twinkle
While I sway on in the flesh

Fighting the tears in my eyes
I turn to face the never ending deep blue

Back and Blue Smoke Screen

 As I listen to the news, read the papers I have to laugh to myself over this Black and Blue Lives Matter only because it's an obvious smoke screen to protect the oppressive police force while lulling the poor (predominately so-called Black) back into controlled slumber. Have we forgotten why the police were finally attacked?

 Ever since the 1980's by and large the police have been waging war of harassment, intimidation, brutality, and basic savagery against the average American citizen. They stopped serving and protecting the people (unless you were rich) and started abusing the power that was bestowed on them by the general public. These abuses continue to this very moment of writing and will be happening while you read this post. These men and women in blue were behaving as if they were martial law, the average citizen for the most part copped through gritted teeth and frustration actually giving these cops the benefit of the doubt in almost every case. Most people do what they can to stay clear of these "Upholders of Justice".

 Since this undeclared war started back in the late 1980's cops have been allowed and encouraged to brutalize any person they deemed worthy of a good ol' boy ass kicking. They mostly targeted minority groups through the "War on Drugs" campaign that in reality did nothing to stop or prevent anyone from buying, selling, and taking drugs in the United States. In many states drug use have been rising at an alarming rate since the "War on Dugs" was introduced. Under George W. Bush and Barack Obama we have seen a steady increase in the inhumane treatment that many Americans suffer under these protectors. The police are responsible for numerous crimes that include ignoring state constitution laws, all the way to sexual assault. When cops get "caught" they are either thrown off the police force for a while but then allowed back on the force, moved to another town or city, or simply allowed to stay at home while getting paid. Even after they have killed a couple of innocent men they are still not suffering the way we would if we did the same crimes.

 As I have noted the cops brutal reign has only gotten worse. They have killed innocent lives who were not resisting arrest, nor posed any threat to the officers. Ounce this boundary was crossed it no longer became an undeclared war but declaration of war, the very declaration that many people whether they be in gangs or not were waiting for. As we saw that declaration was quickly accepted and met by cops being killed. Now the cops are realizing that this is war they might not be able to win or at best contain now they want a truce. Now they want to talk about Peace and Unity, unfortunately the cat is out of the bag, I don't see a quick end. The cops have to understand that because of how they treated people over these years that even people who would be allies are turning away. This is in the truest since a hole that they have dug themselves in.

 During all the these years of mistreating people did the rich or politicians ever lift a finger to help the poor? The middle-class? Anyone? No, not until the cops started getting killed now they too want Peace, with platitudes, empty of any real emotion just the hope that people will buy into the lies they spew. The rich don't care about the cops because the rich, the elite, view everyone who isn't part of the "Club" as a mere object for them to use as they see fit and toss out when they have no more use for them. The reason, the real reason why these elitists are offering these words is because they know that if people are no longer afraid to shoot cops then what's to stop people from attacking them? They don't want to pay the price for the crimes they have committed either. Even now they are scheming to pool the wool over the eyes of the people.This is what they have done in the past and this is what they will always try to do. It's a historical fact!

 Real change can only occur via a revolution of the people and by the people but even in revolutions the elitist always manage to sneak in and stay in control. The American revolution is the most clear cut case of Elitist stealing the thunder of the peoples movement (of course the majority of the people also didn't want the revolution) placing themselves in the role of hero when they have only ever been traitors  both to the cause and spirit of real revolution. The new guard is usually nothing more than the old guard in new clothes.

 Cops, if they are to redeem themselves need to understand that the elite will betray them first, the second the fire gets too hot they will be gone. Even politicians are not with them and will betray them also.

 If things are to be averted, if all out war is to cease, it is the police that must make the effort to restore themselves as the Servants of the People. They need to take a look back on the role they use to play on society and be that role again. Help the old ladies cross the road, get the cats out of the trees, because if they are to remain relevant they must always remind themselves that it is the average person that allows them whatever power they may have. It is the average people that make it so they can pay the bills, have a house, and raise a family. They need to treat people with respect and dignity in order to gain the trust of the everyday joe ounce more.

 Of course people may conclude that police are not really needed at all. They are an archaic oddity of the past that serves little if any benefit. Cops have never stopped any crimes from happening and they solve even fewer. These men and women in Ford's could be done away with and society would barely feel the bump. The average person would be much better in a society where everyone is responsible for wherever they live and every person bares arms. Then you would see a real decline in crime of all kinds. It is unfortunate that most people are not forward thinking enough to see through the lies that politicians feed them and the government at large. People don't need to be protected by an Alien force they could and would do a better job without such a force.

Again, Think who and why people are pushing certain agendas, what's the catch? In most cases it's to make you (the American Citizen) dependent on them (Central government) they tell you scary stories of the boogie man, show you halloween depiction of life and you can either buy it or call it the bluff you know it to be. All People need is People without power hungry fools who abuse the world simply because they are allowed to by the complacency of the majority.
