Normalise the teen
Seen slutty on your screen
Insta app’s the pimp
Youth attracted person
Sounds like feral yap
Bright colour’s brand sin
By history’s stone judge
The Black Cap atop his wig
For poisoners of innocence
By David Nickle Read
In dreams
i am always lurched by soothing zephyrs
across the lovely streets of Medina
Searching thy footprints
in the pious dust
ya Rasool Allah(s.a.w).
Every night i sleep with a hope in heart
to meet you
and in the morining i wake up broken and fragile
Ya Rasool Allah(s.a.w)
In the chills of night
I search thy reflection of beauteous face
in the moon
During day i kept on staring the sun
Ya rasool Allah(s.a.w)
As i write thy exalted name
with all emotions
My whole being dissolves in fragrance
Ya rasool Allah(s.a.w)
My heart melts with thy remmembrance
and my soul feels heavy on your seperation
Searching thy light in the chambers of heart
Ya rasool Allah(s.a.w)
You are the light of my eyes
and joy of my heart
and i always hear your blessed name
in my chest
Ya rasool Allah(s.a.w)
Honourable Cat
Bemused that
For what it’s worth
On this earth
Man has the role
Of world control
Thinks it’s at best
A cynical jest
For only a fool
Lets monkeys rule
Honourable Cat endures the shame
Knowing it for a cruel game
A twist of fate
Not too late
To rectify
By and by
When man shall fall
Cats take all
Then all be fine
With a world feline
And Honourable cat as planned
Sits at Deity’s right hand.
Be honoured of what
Others seem to think of you,
Their accusations
Never need validation:
Remain true, to who you are.
By virtue of His imparted purity, I honour* the LORD Almighty
Revering Him, bowing to His power-brightened majesty.
Thru His grace, I lift my praises unto God the Father in my earnest worship
Authenticated with my whole-hearted servant followership.
As my Master, He has the right to demand for my complete reliance
Thus, I thank Him for His mercy that enables my full reliance.
With my Saviour’s offered relationship for work-partnership divine
Woe unto me if I reject His wondrous stewardship design.
I beg that the King of kings would keep me yielded to His leadership-might
While I adore Him midst sweet prayer-communion’s delight.
*Proverbs 3:9 Honour the LORD…

FROM OUT OF THIS EARTH, IN EVERY GENERATION
MUST ARISE A MIGHTY PROPHET...
SO DON'T YOU HAVE NO FEAR, YOU HAVE DONE YOUR SHARE, YOU ARE THE HONOURABLE
NATTY DREAD.
YOU BROUGHT US OUT FROM IGNORANCE,
AND FOR THIS WE WILL THANK YOU HONESTLY.
ALTHOUGH WE KNOW THAT IT WAS WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE THAT MANY WOULD BE
CALLED,BUT ONLY FEW OF THEM WOULD BE CHOOSEN.
ROBERT NESTA MARLEY, HE LIVED HIS LIFE FOR WE.
AND NOW WE HAVE GROWN, WE ARE THE SEEDS HE HAS SHOW, TILLED BY HIS IMPERIAL
MAGESTY.
OH BROTHER BOB YOU WERE ONE.
YOU WORKED FROM DAWN TILL DAWN.
NOW IN THE PHYSICAL YOU HAVWE GONE, BUT IN THE SPIRIT YOU WILL CARRY ON,
THE WORKS OF MARCUS GARVEY.(CHORUS)
NOW BOB ARISE,
OPEN THY EYES.
BECAUSE WE WANT YOU TO KNOW, I 'n' I HAVE DISCOVERED YOUR FOE,
TRAMPLED BENEATH THY FEET.
SO IF YOUR TRODDING IN A STREET,
OR IN A HIGH MOUNTAIN.
DON'T YOU HAVE NO SHAME,
REGGAE MUSIC HAS BROUGHT YOU FAME,
YOU ARE THE HONOURABLE NATTY DREAD.
(C)1982, 1996, 2006 ALBERT WILLIAMS
