Greatness was his to inherit
Breaking free from shells of gold
Soaring on wings of diamond so bold
Across the vast and rich lands of Mali.
Well-versed in the culture of his motherland
A gem in trade, a leader in heart
Mansa Musa, a beacon of strength
Guiding Mali to heights untold.
From a young age, like the morning sun
He was ready to rule with grace and wisdom
A king born to lead, to inspire
Musa’s legacy, a story that defies time.
The roads from Cairo to Mecca know a man better
Of wealth and influence, unmatched and grand
Like Freetown’s view from Mount Auroel
His gold and glory will forever be told.
A kind-hearted king, generous and wise
Investing in making people better
Offering food, gold, and shelter
His story will forever grace the ages.

do you know
how to throw
a lasso
do you not
know how
to tie a knot
knitting a
whip with
your brows
your brows
you can use
to beat me
but treat me
as if you
wanted
me
since
language
of the body
is different
from speech
but
to each
their own
but
you
own
me

my muse
is not my
wife
i would
like but
she is
more then
twice my
age younger
a smile
raising
more
warmth
then a
sunrise
eyes
that shine
animalistic
mystically
hypnotizing
me
but breathing
the poetic
breath
that all
great muses
do
and
she
does

i know a muse
who knows me
when we kiss
she breathes
poetry
with this verb
there's a third
person
present
not me
the poetry
itself not
selfishly
becomes
another
expressively
unendingly
beyond
reality
simply
being
more then
words until
i can't
speak
no need
for the
senses
reel in
dance
when we
kiss
i never
close my
eyes

O mystic man,
sorcerer
He with the scar
marked over his heart
Lead the foolish astray,
lead them the false way
Jebel Musa
Born on the night of the blood moon
Practitioner of the dark arts,
conjuring mirages for a fee
You taught the children of Balaam well ...
had them to drink deep from the covetous cistern,
the corrupting waters
drawn
from
the
pit of hell
Jebel Musa
Rebel
Jebel
Lead the lost souls down to the empty well
Musa
For money you sold your name
False profits of damnation is your claim to shame —
you refused to let the thirsty prisoners go
Jebel Musa
Born on the day so many people died
at Baal-peor
Bathed in the tears of the widows that cried,
bemoaning the deaths
of their lovers, who loved hearing lies
Today, again you call out once more,
inviting all to your wicked sacrifice
at Baal-peor
To give false worship to the idols,
at the ruins of Shittim’s desolate shore
