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
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
