A history of stolen rights

Freedom, a stolen patent by the white man
Seen as a capitalistic venture,
Marketed towards those deemed ‘inferior’
Not seen as a right, but as a luxury
Tied with the ribbon of controlled hierarchy -
To keep black in a constant state of survival,
And the white in a state of insecure power -
Externally polished, but internally cracking 
A systemic imbalance weakened by unease

Freedom a currency owned by the corrupt
Used to dictate societal roles -
A way to systemise racial control
A way to protect the weapon of inequality
Reducing the oppressed to desperation -
Of basic human rights
A sadistic trait of the oppressor -
Watching the loss of our dignity in order for our humanity

A history of embarrassment, forced onto our ancestors
All to distract from their inner battles of inferiority
A secret they won’t tell, they’ll decree it as impossible
Despite a history of targeted discrimination
Despite a lifetime of oppression
All because black people are everything, they will never be


Women Empowerment

Surrounded by selfish men who use us in every way, whole day
With utter disregard to our thoughts, feelings and what we say
Out of this situation we should find a way, inequality shouldn't stay

Oh women, wherever you are smile, sway, joyously bloom
Whatever be your situation think positive, don't live in gloom
We are given tough problems so that spiritually we may bloom

Empower yourself, be financially independent, learn self defence
Be such that you can fight all those who dare to make an offense
Bring up your children in similar manner, let's end this life of pretence

Women are tender, beautiful, trusting and love selflessly from heart
It is time to show the world we are strong, independent and smart
For removing gender inequality, it is high time we made a jumpstart

...............................................................

Gender inequality, atrocities against women still continues all over the world. It is upto us women to come together and put and end to it.
Happy women's day to all

Premium Member Of Diversity and Unity: A Perspective From Me To You

Thus are your twisted, unwise thoughts:
Because you are you, and I am truly me,
You live and think that between us
There will never ever be any unity:-
And that between the likes of us,
There is, and will always be, diversity:-

For you, because God made you
Different from the sage beauty of me, 
In this one world in which we’ve come to be,
There is no way He intended us to be one:-
Thus, you say no to sisters-to-sisters
And likewise, to brothers-to-brothers;
Despite, they may be of the same,
Or even of a difference in color:-  

With Garden of Eden snake-like derision,
You seek to skew profound scriptural wisdom,
And the simplicity of God’s profundity
Of our graceful diversity and its unity:-
Yet, when we look into the mirror,
We see a single body with many parts:-
Each sharing equanimity in a oneness
Of the human race in the onement of
God’s divine spiritual wonderfulness:-

Finally, it must also be understood,
That in any human relationship,
As is in the relationship of
Body, spirit, and soul–
In the circle of love–
We must all be in a circumference
Of onement in the radius of life:-

It’s in an awareness
Of congruent unity,
That we must seek
A triangle eclipse,
Reflecting the trinity
Of divine grace given
To our diversity from above:
Diverse planets make up one world;
Likewise, must be that oneness of us,
Engaged in building the onement of a world of love:-
Thus, when it comes to you, me, and equity, remember this,
God's guidance is that we should seek to build a nation of justice:-

Premium Member Burning Questions

Like search for soothing green pastures,  
In the heartless dry heat of summer months,
And running after a shimmering, ever elusive mirage,
Why are human relations increasingly getting brittle?

Increasingly narrowing and stifling humaneness,  
Like searching for an oasis in a desert,
Our life journeys becoming longer but more lonely,
Are these signs of social progress we wanted?

May be, poisonous gases of global warming 
Are less harmful than invisible winds of inequality 
that discreetly spread scourge of excessive greed,
Is this not the result of collective selfishness of us?


Comment: Perhaps, inequality of any kind is root cause of human suffereing.

Equality was never meant for us

Equality was never ours to own,
It may have been free, but only for the privileged 
Equality is just a word, without any meaning,
Just emptiness, for us, and a foreign dream 
Equality for us was never meant to be seen

Used as bait for those, who are targets -
To this unfair scheme
freedom sold at a price -
A deal in exchange for our life,
A way to control and keep us quiet

They stole our rights, just like they stole our lands 
Then used our pain to their advantage
Profiting off of the power they corrupted,
Whilst watching us for rights - 
They allowed themselves to have for free,
Creating systems to uphold their policies

Equality is universal,
Yet, has been manipulated by the white man,
For capitalistic greed,
And ownership of power,
And now is a luxury, given only to a select few


Premium Member North American Union

The puppet masters plot and weave, when first they practice to deceive
From Bush to Bush the fire spreads, a wildfire born from the Great Beasts bed
Intent, creates a new Zeitgeist to spawn a child, an anti-Christ
The seed’s been sown in Satans name the purpose clear, to God defame

No deeds revealed in tabloid papers Kept hidden their iniquitous capers
They mock our angst with rabid glee and crown it, a conspiracy
A sick exposure of the fact, success repeats the Patriot Act
Cruel fate awaits a Christian race the journey’s set at the Devils pace

From Hitlers hands their fortunes fed, a Rotten Apple, spiders threads
A Presidency on the cards their chorus rings from Satans bards
Twin Towers fall to Evils gain, Nostradame marks an old quatrain
Noahide Laws infused in society, Bush’s claim to the Devils piety

The terror laid at Americas shore, Homeland Security at its core
Involve our sons in fore-planned wars fuel Bankers interests near and far
To reign with iniquitous intent, the rule of money, purity bent
A system born to grease the palms, of those who seek the Devils alms

Indigenous inequality, why share what they can take
The Devils hands laid idle, write the rules for them to make
They form their words in whispers, they speak with a forked tongue
The parchment fresh, the quill’s been bled, the trap it has been sprung


Your liberty’s been stolen, a subtly sanctioned sin
There is no war on terror, the terror lies within
No longer called a prisoner, Genevas cause is lost to law
Detainees they’ll term us to be a welcomed lawyers flaw

Witnessed by a vanquished people, an American constitution
Set forth in pious reverence, genocide its resolution 
Rockefeller spilt the beans a farcical invention
RFID for you and me their ultimate intention 

Not for the good of those concerned, 
Though pay you will, you’re chaff to burn
A single cause a twisted communion 
Creates a North American Union 

Though history repeats itself, its Trump card clearly dealt
The final thrust, centurions spear exposed, our innards felt
A thunderous cloud, the storms approach, the hurricane it howls
Gods hand outstretched, His children freed, as Satan sadly scowls!

Let Us Never Forget

Social injustice and economic inequality 
have always been practiced in our Nation's working industry
Irish need not apply, Hispanics we don't want your kind
and Blacks don't even show your face
this was the typical response to ethnic minorities in America's workplace

nepotism and favoritism were the norm and status quo
as it was not about your knowledge or skill but about who you know
let us never forget the unions and labor laws which evened the playing field
for if it was left up to corporate America economic inequality would never yield

Racism, discrimination and segregation on our Nation's history is a blight
and in spite of all the civil rights laws we still have to fight
for a measure of equal opportunity 
for some respect and a little dignity

let us never forget the Rev. Dr. King Jr., Medgar Evers, Cesar Chavez and Rosa Parks
those who stood up against injustice by igniting a socially conscious spark
they did not back down, they would not back off, they took a moral stance
so that every single human being in this country could have an equal chance

We hold these truths to be self-evident that all citizens shall be treated the same
regardless of race, color, age, gender or how we pronounce your name
and as we celebrate Black History Month let us never forget those who led the fight
in the struggle for social justice, economic equality and basic human rights

Angel Gabriel

It was surprising me then a lot,  
For my new mission now,  
Before a virgin from a little town,  
The Lord Creator, how?!,  
Will be a boy in human bosom, womb,  
But when I see Mary close,  
She plays a simpleton,  
Interrogate, question:  
"I'm a maiden, I don't know."  
By Isaiah's book, she verifies me in response,  
That I'm not a demon,  
I'm not, but understand more: 
Now liar may not lie ever again about God,  
What He would not be? Love,  
What He would be? Arrogant before all,  
And did the "defective creation" therefore,  
When the commandment of life would be something wrong,  
It would be better to be a self-idol like Judas Iscariot? 
No, it is wrong, this abomination of desolation, the poison!  
But from inequality come the source of sorrow,  
Humble God and humanity working together in All in This Boy Lamb,  
The Inspiration gives the Freedom,  
Annunciation Glory,  
Blessed are You, Abraham's daughter,  
And miraculously Mother,  
How Isaiah too well spoke,  
Mother of the Eternal Son,  
The Earth of Sabbath for New Adam Young Lion of Zion, 
The Ark alive for the Word,  
My wings covering above.

The American Dream

In the land of dreams, where hopes take flight,
There lies a vision, shining bright.
The American Dream, a beacon of desire,
Igniting hearts with its eternal fire.

From distant shores, they crossed the sea,
Seeking a life where they could be free.
With boundless potential, they dared to dream,
A nation built on hope, our story seemed.

Opportunity embraced the bold and the meek,
A tapestry woven, diverse and unique.
With grit and determination, they carved their way,
Each step closer to that elusive day.

A land of promise, where dreams could thrive,
With hard work and perseverance, they'd strive.
From humble beginnings, stories would unfold,
The American Dream, a tale so bold.

But as time passed, shadows began to creep,
Challenges arose, and faith grew weak.
The dream's foundation faced trials and tests,
Inequality casting its relentless unrest.

Yet still, hope persists, undying and strong,
In the hearts of those who refuse to be wronged.
A dream of justice, equality, and grace,
A vision worth fighting for, in every place.

The American Dream, a shared aspiration,
To build a better world, a united nation.
With open arms, it welcomes the dreamers' plight,
A tapestry of dreams, woven in starlight.

So let us remember, in each passing day,
The dream that unites us, come what may.
For in its pursuit, we find our true worth,
The American Dream, a beacon for rebirth.
