Muhammed is the most popular name in the entire world, in fact.
A shock so great
is a punch in the face
If it breaks your cheek
You’re suddenly meek
Many wished it for Muhammed Ali
~ It wasn’t to be
My sultan is only Allah
My purified is only Allah
Whatever you give
We are contented Hallelujah
There is no god but Allah
Dear god only Allah
Whatever you give
We are contented Hallelujah
My firm is only Allah
My assurance is only Allah
And also at my chest
My religion and faith is only Allah
There is no god but Allah
Dear god only Allah
Muhammed is messenger of Allah
Whatever you give
We are contented Hallelujah
You are my light dear Allah
You are my wealth dear Allah
At the far beyond cities
You are my love dear Allah
Anonymous
Translation Onur Ünlü
Beautiful chest of prophets is you dear messenger
Full moon at the closest sky is you dear messenger
Mirror of The Merciful, pure light of The Purest
Secret of seven coupled Opening is you dear messenger
Your light is bright candle, universes are to you dependent
Owner of sky ascension's crown is you dear messenger
Opener of the way of testament, founder of secret of prayer
Hope of Hudayi at the judgement day is you dear messenger
Allah oh Allah There is no god but Allah
Allah oh Allah Muhammed is messenger of Allah
Written By Aziz Mahmud Hudayi
Translation Onur Ünlü
One name is Mustafa one name is Ahmed
Let pray be upon Muhammed
At the apocalypse for us intercede
Let pray be upon Muhammed
His light fills the worshipper's heart
His praise prospers the heart's wealth
Lots of prayer is man's comfort
Let pray be upon Muhammed
If you wish to manage the state
Only worship to almighty Lord
Give prayer to honorable clean soul
Let pray be upon Muhammed
Dervish Moses be sincere in your deed
Obey to orders of superior prophet
There it is heaven's straight path
Let pray be upon Muhammed
Written by Dervis Musa (Dervish Moses)
Translation Onur Ünlü
Morning of East dear heart let us praise the Lord
Let goods be conquered let evil go away
Call down to God wish your request from the Truth
Let goods be conquered let evils go away
At the twilight stand on prayer
Raise your hands turn your face to the azure
Sincerefully beg to The Most Generous
Let goods be conquered let evils go away
One of Ninety nine names is The Wise
From him comes every deliverance
Spreading face to the ground do suppliance
Let goods be conquered let evils go away
Written by El Hac Muhammed
Translation Onur Ünlü
In twilight's hush, where shadows play,
A paradox reigns, in endless sway,
The good perish, while the wicked thrive,
In this land, where virtue's brief, and vice survives.
Patriots fall, like autumn's leaves,
Assassinated, poisoned, for their noble deeds,
Their voices silenced, before their time,
As darkness feeds on justice's prime.
Bola Ige, Barnabas Igwe, Marshall Harry too,
Ogbonnaya Uche, Ken Saro-Wiwa, and more, anew,
Their memories linger, like a mournful sigh,
As tyranny's grip tightens, and hope says goodbye.
Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi, Gen. Murtala Muhammed, fell,
Their legacies lost, in a tragic spell,
For how long shall the good people die?
When will justice dawn, and tyranny's night pass by?
My freshman reading list is
Thomas Payne, Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky
The prof is not one to pitschky-potschky
The leaders to be studied will be
Elijah Muhammed, Stalin, Castro, Marx, and Xi
I wonder why A.H. is an absentee
O, I get it -- Good things come in fives
USA, Russia, China, Cuba and Syria
Nazi Germany too busy taking lives
Looking forward to an action-packed semester
in this new course called ~
'Proud Traditions of our Ancestors'
Oh, my beloved toaster,
How you start my day with delight.
Your warm embrace, a comforting boast,
A breakfast staple in every right.
With your sleek design and metallic sheen,
You toast my bread to perfection.
Golden brown, a sight to be seen,
A joyous moment, a breakfast confection.
Through thick and thin, you never fail,
A trusty appliance, always by my side.
A constant source of toast and bagel,
Your reliability I cannot deny.
Oh, my dear toaster, how you bring joy,
To my mornings, my days, my life.
A simple pleasure, a humble ploy,
But one that fills my heart with rife.
So here's to you, my beloved toaster,
A common household item, yet so divine.
I raise my toast to your faithful poster,
A praise to your simplicity so sublime.

Paying It Forward
Miracle Man
1/6/2022
When someone helps me,
I’ve learned to pay it forward.
It has usually happened
when I didn’t need serving.
Doing it discretely,
never straightforward.
I select my target,
from those I’m observing.
“Service to others is the rent you pay
for your room here on earth.”
Muhammed Ali
Who am I?
I am a lion who comes out as a goat
I am an ocean with waves big enough to drown
I am a child of Mesopotamia
A descendant of Shaka Zulu
Baptized in the Nile
I depict the sword of Mansa Musa
I am the backbone of civilization
An icon of emancipation
I represent the pyramid of Giza
And the lighthouse of Alexandria
A symbol of hope
And an emblem of freedom
I am a depiction of Chinua Achebe ink
An illustration of the hieroglyphic
I am the carapace of Hannibal
And the shield of Tunka Manin
I am a player of the djembe
And the author of Sundiata Epic
I am an inheritor of Timbuktu
A citizen of Kumbi-Saleh
A compadre to Askia Muhammed
And a son of Mansa Musa
A follower of Kwame Nkrumah
And a kinsman of Ahmet Sekou Toure
I am the native son of Gao
A fisherman of Lake Victoria
A Tuareg from the Sahara
I hailed from the cradle of life
I am the black in Panther
And this is really who I am, A black man.
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
received a little shake-up
when in '68 they turned on
'Abraham, Martin and John' *
Moses, Muhammed and Jesus
No longer seem to please us
'Environment, Equity and Energy'
Causes now spiritually seize us
The U.S., Britain and France
a ghost of a NATO alliance
The mantle of peace they don
faced with China, Russia and Iran

To dwell in paradise
In company of the noble Prophet
Get these ingredients
And have a share in the everlasting merriments
Shaadah
It is to testify
That no other deity is worthy of worship but Allah
And that Muhammed is His messenger
Solah
It is to worship Allah 5 times a day
Yield to the call of Adhan
And Call on Him as much as you can.
Zakat
Give of what you have been given
For when you give
In return His blessings you shall receive.
Sawm
You are commanded to fast
In the beautiful month of Ramadan
Fast my brother, fast as much as you can.
Hajj
Seek the house of Allah
In the beautiful city of Makkah
Go on the journey, do the tawahf round the Kaabah

Cassius Clay, a slave wouldn't be
Renamed himself Muhammed Ali
Became a proud African-American male
~ Then was sentenced to five years in jail
---Dear ALLAH,
We do not talk a lot,
Maybe we should,
just maybe we should.
In the mean time,
and until we learn how
to talk to you, Allah
as well as God,
we would like to allow
you the company of one
of our own,
he may introduce himself
as Cassius Clay,
but in case you do not
recognize who he is,
let me tell you now,
that he is The Greatest.
Well, maybe not greater than you, Allah
but he is none-the-less
The Greatest
and maybe you will
recognize him as
Muhammed Ali
yep, that Greatest.
You will right away see him
fighting again,
fighting for what is right
and good and just.
He will not rest in Peace,
He will constantly fight for Peace.
He is our Greatest.
And he will be your greatest,
in short order.
And he just might introduce us
to an Allah
we have failed to see.
Wouldn't it be great
if we and God and Allah
had a real heart to heart conversation?
I bet he can arrange that.
