Pine Nuts on the Floor (Poetic Rant)

Pine Nuts on the floor

Why you Muslims doing this?

Why you Muslims doing that?

You know your religion is backward

You know you hate women

You know that Jesus dies for you

Wait now...hold up... reverse

Why am I being demonized because

Others who share my faith are wigging out

Due to colonial brainwashing but you leave that out

Never seeing your contribution to the problem

Convinced yourselves you're the solution

Really.. is that so..

Let's go ask the Native Americans

Let's go ask the slaves that hung in trees

Lets go ask every indigenous peoples 

See if they speak Highly about you

Oh wait.. that was then... Oh really?

Has anyone made amends?

Righted any of the wrongs?

Just because you want to walk away

Doesn't mean the past is forgotten ok

Karma doesn't view history as you do

Research for a minute all that you have done

Holding the banner waving the cross

Then maybe you will see 

The deranged damage your people have done

Including never excluding the KKK 

Now back to the matter at hand

What's going on isn't nothing new

Started back in 1941

Escalating since then to now

How do you fight a colonial power?

Through terrorism

But until both sides come clean

Living this G.I. Joe cartoon dream

Nothing will be resolved

Hate will simply evolve

To the next generation

Morphing into another situation

Blood, guts, and no one wins

I hate to break it to you

We Muslims are not a monolith

Not some robotic hive mind

We're just like you

Over a billion people is a diverse group

So stop and think before you ask these questions

As if I should somehow know

How terrorist work 

Maybe you should just ask them

I'm on the same face as the planet as you

Wondering the same damn thing

How can people take something as beautiful as Islam

Turn it into an ugly nullification

How can people take something as beautiful as Islam

Turn it into an ugly nullification

Uplifting Falling Humanity (Originally published by the Moorish League)

Peace,

 As I listened to the news on the radio hearing about the events that have been unfolding within the middle east and Africa I couldn’t help but feel saddened. Hear we are continuing to go around the same broken wheel. When are we going to learn that wars solve nothing? Wars can only create more hatred and more wars. Why do you think politicians love war? They love it because they are enemies of Peace, enemies of humanity and enemies of God. This is why we must stop looking for a political solution, a political savior; it’s never going to happen. We must join together as one community embracing each other regardless of differences in beliefs, color, and whatever else people use to divide. God has made us all in his image, and only he can judge us because it is from Him we come and to Him we return.

 We of the Monotheistic faiths have a common thread that binds us together. That silver cord has a name and that name is the prophet Abraham. It is from his vision of God that all three were birthed and sprung up. He shaped our very course with a simple call of One Aim, One Love, One God, One Destiny, which has been repeated down the line from his time until now. What would Abraham say if he was to walk among us right now? Would he approve of his children by blood and by adoption fighting among themselves like rats?  Do you think he would enjoy hearing his family slander one another? No, he would be mortified that the Unity he envisioned has caused so much pain and sorrow. We are to have no division among us. We are to settle our differences with kindness.  We are to “Love our neighbors” because our neighbors are our family, our us, and our images of the one who created us. Who dares to kill the All Mighty? Only the fools among the foolish, yet it’s going on right now everywhere you turn. People are convinced that this is the way it must be brainwashed by the White Horse they joyfully bath with the Red Horse then they wonder why the Black Horse is all they ever get. Wake up! It’s time to go back to the original call of Abraham and all the other prophets and friends of God. Unity in Oness. One People, One God, One Destiny, that should be our mantra instead of this us against them, the it’s all about ME mentality that the devil whispers into our ears and we think of ourselves as righteous. Stop living on the lower end of life move yourself into the higher end, the higher self, heal the world instead of shrugging and wallowing in its wounds.

 Many of us talk a good game about helping others but when you get down to it most of us do nothing about it. We are quick to condemn the world and point out all its flaws but we are slow in changing ourselves. Or we change ourselves and think that’s all you need to do and you do nothing to alleviate the wretchedness around you. Brothers and Sisters it time we stop waiting for someone else to come and save the day because that’s not going to happen. We must each put on the cloak of the teachings of our Lord and live out true submission, which is Peace. Lets stop saying when the prophet Jesus or the Mahdi or whomever comes then things will be good. If you’re doing that then you are missing the point. Jesus said: “What I have done you can do greater” this is him telling us to pick up where he left off, that was his way of saying pick up the mantle march to the way of Love, Truth, Peace, Equality and Justice. Take a stand and move forward. This is what the prophet Muhammad did, this is what Marcus Garvey did, Druze Ali did, and many others did. So why are we not doing this? Why are we not pushing the world towards the Garden, Towards Zion, Towards Nirvana, towards a better day for our children and future generations? The answer is simple we digressed, we allowed politics into our lives, into our minds and instead of being Holy which means to separate we became of the world. We have allowed pollution into our food, into our lungs, into every aspect of our very existence. Snap out of it! We have too little time to waste. Become the solution not the problem.

In the beginning: All people were of one Community it was only later that division came. Let us remember this and try to get back to this so that this current cycle of Death may end and be replaced by Life.

Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.
