Anarchy has set me free from all illusions
Smoke rings beer cans satisfaction
Out of the box I feel no more confusion
Fitting in the places others want to leave out
Socially awkward I just want to be
Exists without chains in no conformity
Everyday I shine a light on freedom
Liberation for all is amazing
Some just don’t want it
Give up popularity
Some too afraid to have it
They are under lock and key
What they build is falling apart
So afraid they cling to the past they imagined
Washington and Lincoln have become deity
Gods among men they came to save humanity
Propaganda I look through
I can see the real you
Old sick shivering
Current structure comes to an end
Burn your money
Set yourself free
Burn your money
It’s only a trust
A trust that has been broken
Taking away your Liberties
Selling you to the highest corporate bidder
Burn your money
Time to strike is now
Grab the revolution
Or be forever duped
Tea time its tea time
Only for the privileged
Starving, dying
Suits are laughing at you
Tea time its tea time
Behind the gates
Hungry, begging,
Suits are laughing at you
Tea time its tea time
Only for the posh
Begging, stealing,
Suits are laughing at you
Anarchy will set us free
Bring out the best of humanity
One giant family
With no desire for conformity
Burn your money
Burn your money

Creation Stepper
I live between worlds
Between calm warehouse worker and angry poet
Between middle class and homelessness
Between sweet dear angels and low disease ridding whores
Between soft sobriety and hardcore addiction
Between the smart bookworms and the street smart gangbanger
Between the Capitalist world and the anarchist dream
I live
Have always lived
Between worlds
Moving back and forth with ease
A gift
A curse
The only reality I know

Beat up from the get up
Noble Drew Ali ounce said: "If you try to tell a man by looking at him then you are burnt up" this is a lesson that I find many people from all walks of life completely ignore. Noble Drew Ali wasn't the first to say something along these lines but he repeated it, lived it, and had many blessings poured upon him because of it so my question is why can't we all live it? Many of us speak greatness with our mouths and I am sure may of us are well intentioned folks who believe they are doing the very best they can but they fall short (as we all do) in some areas that Noble Drew Ali would have not allowed them to do so if he was still walking this earth in the flesh.
It is true that we should look our best at all times, dress in the mode of modesty at all times but what is one persons best is not another's best. The word modesty is up to each and every individual to decide, people do not owe other people or have to live up to other peoples expectations. The only expectation you need to worry about is our Father-God Allah who has giving us free will, a path to Unity, and He will judge us according to His Divine Justice not by our petty superstitions that we may hold. Judging people by what they look like, skin tone, clothes, is no way to live your life. Noble Drew Ali was passed by when he stood on his crate proclaiming the Good News of Islam to those passing by. Out of the majority only a single woman stopped and received the Message while others walked on by. Why did they walk on by? They judged him by his skin, his clothes, and allowed that to stop them from receiving blessings and a path to Allah. Even still this did not bitter Noble Drew Ali in amy way because he knew Islam would soon in America become a dominant force, he knew the seeds he planted would grow and that people from every corner of the earth would come to the call of God so he prepared his early followers to not judge by looks. Instead one should study the person by watching them, listening to them, seeing if they are for the truth or not. No one can hide who they really are for very long.
It is also this teaching that is different than what this world is use to. This world is ungodly, this world wants you to be ungodly so that you can dwell in Hell with them. Misery loves company, according the most recent polls the United States isn't even in the top 10 nor the top 50 of the happiest people on earth. How can this be? With all the promises this country offers this should be paradise on earth so what happened? I'll tell you, empty promises may drew people in but they cannot sustain people for very long. The Devil will offer you anything to get you away from the right path but ounce the Devil has you then boom he turns on you quickly leaving you in a desolate place. America is the Desolate place spoken about in Scripture. This is why though we live among the walking dead we ourselves must not become dead we must be the bringers of life.
The first step towards accepting death over life is harshly judging others by what they appear to be. It doesn't matter what people appear to be they can appear to be rich or poor but if that's how you get to know people then you might as well jump in the fires now! The fire is all you get. If you judge by appearance then you will miss multiple paths that will lead to a better life for you and those around you. You may also hurt others without caring because of what people look like. Noble Drew Ali did not judge simply by appearance he studied them inside and out before he let thoughts of them creep in his mind. He knew the bad seeds from the good.
We who embrace Islam must change who we are inside and out before we can bring about the Kingdom of God on earth as we are meant to do. That is our sole purpose to bring about and guard our Heaven that is earth. Right now too many people are caught up in hell so the world is a hell for many people.
As you go about your business meeting people, seeing people, as you shop or do whatever it is you do when you look at people do not judge them. Try to keep away all negative thoughts that may enter remain a clear mind. You will see how simple life can be without the clutter of ugliness that this world wants you to be.

Amalgamation: Not in our Science
It may seem hard in todays world were mixed relationships are almost all but normal in our society but this doesn't make it right nor is it something that we should be getting involved in. As a young man I must admit that I like many other kids in my generation freely took pleasure in women of other cultures, races, ethnicities, without much regard for what we were doing. Most Europeans (so-called white people) freely mingled with Asiatic women (so-called black, brown, etc etc people) and the Asiatic men freely partook with European women. We all agreed that it was just a natural way of being and along the way some babies were born from these various unions. None by me but by friends. It wasn't until I met Rashad Bey and his teachings of Islam that would change my mind about these types of relationships.
Rashad Bey use to always say: "Stop chasing women that don't belong to you, it's a foul thing". At first I thought it was a generation thing he was years and years older than me. Then he started laying down the degrees that came from the Moorish Science Temple he told me to read the Circle Seven which I did, I noticed in chapter XLVIII Noble Drew Ali writes "We, as a clean and pure nation descended from the inhabitants of Africa, do not desire to amalgamate or marry into the families of the pale skin nations of Europe". I naturally asked Rashad about that passage, he told me that if you embrace Islam you must live by Allah's laws not the whims of mankind, that the races can coexist but not mix. He then quoted the Qur'an 30:22: And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your tongues and colors. Surely there are signs in this for the learned. He then stressed that part of overcoming the lower self is not giving in to things that deviate from the will of God, that things have a purpose and meaning he then told me that we are to guard this purpose with our being if we are to uplift falling humanity. He told to to go through the scriptures and you will find the world of God speaking the same truth not just on this issue but on many others, for convenience I will stick to the topic at hand.
One of the most noticeable group that stay away from mixing are the followers of the Prophet Zoroaster the Parsi. They state that mixing ethnicities, races, and religions would destroy the distinct identity of the different groups of mankind sinking the human family into oblivion. They also state that mixing causes a dilution of faith and weakening of cultural and spiritual bonds.
The sentiments of the Parsi are alsothe sentiments of the Samaritans and the ancient Israelites according to Deut 23: 2: No one born of a forbidden marriage[a] nor any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the Lord, not even in the tenth generation. Also in Deut 7:3-4:Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons, 4 for they will turn your children away from following me to serve other gods, and the Lord’s anger will burn against you and will quickly destroy you. It is interesting how some translate that the children of these unions are bastards meaning unwanted in Gods presence. Ezra speaks out against these unions in Ezra 9:1-2: After these things had been done, the officials approached me and said, “The people of Israel and the priests and the Levites have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands with their abominations, from the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. For they have taken some of their daughters to be wives for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy race has mixed itself with the peoples of the lands. And in this faithlessness the hand of the officials and chief men has been foremost.” It should also be noted that when Israel returned to the promise land after being exiled in Persia they could not take with them their foreign wives nor could they take the children that these bore them in order to restore the purity and sanctity of the Israelite people. As Israel is an example of how God wants all the nations and peoples to be like we are to take this same stance with our own people.
In more recent times Marcus Garvey was opposed to the mixing ideology of Du Boise who taught that mixing of all the peoples would produce a better "American Race". Garvey being a Godly man saw through this deception and spoke out against Du Boise and his insidious scheme stating: That amalgamation would not only destroy the Asiatic race but the European race and that by mixing we are not only doing a disservice to our own people but also to the true meaning of unity and brotherhood. By his own reasoning he concluded that it would lower the standard of manhood leading us to a downward spiral of depravity, losing all sense of civilization.
I would like to add a quote by Martin Luther KIng "I want the white man to be my brother not my brother in law".
Noble Drew Ali not only stated in the Circle Seven his dislike for mixing it is even recorded in his sayings " Don't let your brother marry a European woman" Another leader in the Moorish Community when asked about mixing has this to say: " It is in my opinion that every living male and female on earth should choose a mate within their race or national origin because the Great God of Divine Nature made enough for all".
As brothers and sisters of the world we should heed what our Heavenly Father is telling us. It will not always be popular, it will not always be easy but we must do what we are called to do. I know some will roll the eyes and say whatever, or defend themselves by calling down the name of love or some other view that they use to hide the lust they feel. Or simply because they feel that those I quoted above are unworthy representations of the human condition, or basing your life on religious ideology is wrong but even scientists as reported in Time Magazine are now changing their ounce held belief that race and ethnicities as mere human constructs, many prove through genetics the race, culture, and ethnicity. If these were mere constructs this would be an impossibility. Though humans share a basic code that code is not set up in the same way, some scientists are saying that damage could be done to the human population of mixing continues for a long extended period of time especially on a mass scale. Evolution has a genetic component and it is the reason why some live in tribal societies while others live in settled societies. Everything from literacy rates to social behavior has a part to do with genetics proving that what these men above said, what the books said have a basis in reality and the Master of Reality is telling us not to mess around or we will suffer consequences. We can either heed or not heed, but this is why the Science of Islam teaches that Amalgamation is not proper in our civilization.

Writers Cafe
I tried to log onto my account at Writers Cafe but it seems that they banned my account with no explanation though I have been active on that website for nearly three years. I never received a warning or an e-mail even hinting at that they were going to ban my account. I wrote poems about Anarchism, Islam, and many other topics but whenever I wrote a poem about Islam I would always get loads of negative comments telling me I was going to "Hell" that I worshiped a "demon" instead of God so I can only assume that maybe that's why I have been banned. In any case the idea of FREEDOM of writing and speaking seems to be one that you can only practice if you go along with the crowd or cater to be chided. I would like an explanation of why I am banned but I wont hold my breath.

Communist Manifesto: Two Disappointments
I have
always been asked about my take on the Communist Manifesto and though I have
been asked numerous times, have heard people quote from it, other people
bashing it, I never took the time to read it. So I found it for free thanks to
kindle, sat down and read away.
Overall I enjoyed the Communist Manifesto Karl Marx is
right about how our current society got into this mess, how the rich are evil,
and his reasoning for centralization of governments I couldn’t agree with more.
Now I understand why so many people gravitate towards Communist ideology
dedicating their lives to the cause. I must also admit that they are very
active in setting up businesses, small towns, even in Cambridge there’s the
famous Red District were everything is run as one big Communist Machine. Seeing
Communism in action being done the right way is a beautiful thing.
As I said I enjoyed it very well but as the title
suggest I found only two parts of the Manifesto I did not like, based on these
two parts I can clearly see why Anarcho-Communism won’t work.
Communism is already acknowledged by all European
Powers to be itself a Power- Communist Manifesto
When I read this it struck me very odd because it
underlines what Communism is and that is Power. Communism as a whole wants
Power just like the Capitalists, the Socialists, and the Fascist. It needs to
be in control to have possession of something. This is in stark contrast to
what Anarchists want to achieve or even be known as. Anarchists don’t want
power they want to topple power and all the fake morality that goes with it.
Communism talks a great deal about equality of me, workers Unite, but it’s only
to give the Communist leaders Power over them. As much as Communist say they
would end classism, curb the need for property, and so on and so forth you
can’t achieve those goals when you are a power. You can only do these goals
when you don’t want Power when you want to truly create all people to be equal.
Anarchism is not about Power, its not about replacing a government with a
government its about replacing government with a society that is ready and
equipped morally, socially, spiritually, to live without government, power, and
all the trappings of this current society.
Anarchism only seems unrealistic when people lose faith
in humanity, when people no longer believe that humans can take care of each
other. If you believe the lies of the government that nothing but Chaos would
ensue until a dictator came along then I feel sorry for you.
The one the Communists do have that Anarchists don’t
have is a presence in the world on small and big scales. They have areas were
they can live out and show people Communism in action. They have schools so
they can teach their children good old Communist values. Anarchists on the
other hand don’t have such presence in the world and the few stores, or areas
are so few and far between that people never see it in action making it a less
likely alternative.
The second thing I didn’t like about the manifesto is
how it centralizes everything to the State. All the money, all the means, everything
belongs to the State. Then it says how over time the State will merely melt
away leaving a borderless, Nation less Commune of humanity. These are good
ideas but let’s looked at this very carefully. If the State is now in control
of everything, meaning those who run the state have all the money, all the
power, all the means what ever made anyone think that they or their children
would ever allow that power to go away? It all comes down to power and people
who have power whether by work or by means very rarely want to give up power no
matter what the agenda is.
As you can guess Anarchism is against the State for
those very reasons. Giving the State that much control is creating another form
of elitism who will exploit the masses with the very propaganda that was used
to have them revolt. Anarchists want to abolish the State, abolish Nations and
artificial boundaries so that no person or group will be able to control
others.
Anarchism will not ask for your possessions or your
money because in an Anarchist society money will not exist and your possessions
have no inherent worth except what you think they are worth. Everything in an
Anarchist society you could argue is worthless, no value because there is no
wealth no capital no concept of greed. Even if you are a hoarder you could
horde till your hearts content it wont make you more important than anyone
else. Your only value is life and maintaining your life until you give over to
death.
Also, by handing everything over to the State as the
Manifesto suggest you don’t get rid of the class system you continue it. In
fact you create an ultra class system were State workers are the elite and
everyone else is second class working to maintain the State which is actually
maintaining the very few elite who now control every aspect of society.
Communism is in fact totalitarianism without any suspecting it to be. It is a
great bate and switch, this is the aspect that people normally don’t see in
Communism because they chose not to.
Again Anarchism doesn’t want anything more than for you
to live as you see fit, farm your own food, build your own shelter, so what you
enjoy because life should be enjoyed. Of course even in an Anarchist society it
wont be all puppy dogs and rainbows but what you do is for you or if you chose to
help others then you will make each other’s lives better.
Anarchism offers no absolutes, no guarantees, all
it offers is not to make the world perfect or Utopian but simply make the world
better. Giving everything over to someone else, believing those with power is
ever going to help you or change for your betterment is simply always the wrong
move. Communism is a wrong move as far as I can see and Anarcho-Communist I’m
afraid will end up in a state that they are not fully aware of
