Unity In Diversity

what is what is not is what is too
there is no separation from the One came two
like Hu am i and i am Hu
both imperative and interrogative from the One came two
it is based upon what's known to be true
unity in diversity from the One came two



note: Hu is a phonetic spelling of an arabic word that refers to one of the divine 
names of the Creator

The Afrikan Diaspora

The Afrikan Diaspora

Includes all of humanity

One great big extended family

Sharing a single commonality

To form one global community

Though throughout our collective history

There has been atrocity after atrocity

Committed with hubris and hypocrisy

Sometimes in the name of democracy

Or in the name of a theocracy

Which ignored the Commandment

Of honor thy father and mother 

So that your days may longer

Instead they neglected their mama

Because of a deep psychic trauma

That created the Whiteman’s burden

Which was a guilt-ridden conscience

That came from committing injustice

Out of compounded ignorance

Just like the Arabs in the Sudan

Killing fellow Muslims because of black skin

And this is what they’ve historically done

‘Cause to them a slave is an Afrikan

And one just can’t blame the president

Rather blame those that run our government

For it’s no longer for, of, and by the People

And has it ever really lived up to its credo

When big money multi-nationals call all the shots

For the haves and have-mores, but not the have-nots

They purchase legislation and executive orders 

To further their control to dominate others

They write foreign policy to benefit themselves

While the World’s poor majorities live in the hells 

That the elite have created out of greed and stupidity

And even causes our selves to forget our humanity

And this goes beyond labels like Christianity

For all belief systems when looked at objectively

Is adoration to God from Her creation 

And no group or individual can show justification

For attacking or discrediting another’s belief system 

As long as it’s equitable and is consistent

With the natural laws the Creator established 

To keep us in check and maintain the balance

The Inevitable

it saddens the heart
when loved ones depart
though knowingly its our destiny
it still pains our humanity
this feeling doesn't discriminate
and the inevitable is never late
for truly each breath we breathe
brings us closer to our mortality
teaching us to be content with the decree
our frailties have caused negligence
yet Hu continues to give us a chance
to witness there is no difference
in the dancer from the dance






note: Hu is an utterance of The One True Reality (God)in the Arabic language.

Legacy

its a sham & a shame                              
only ourselves to blame                            
our not so distant past                        
memories that have held fast                        
of crimes against humanity                         
that continue relentlessly                       
wrought w/ heartless brutality                    
dismissed in a history of apathy                   
sanctioned by plausible deniability                
dividing our human family                         
with this lie called democracy                     
rather call it an aristocracy                        
that shows its hypocrisy 
by usurping authority                    
what a tragedy as a legacy                           
do they think they can grant themselves immunity   
from The Justice of The Reality?

Untitled

our feelings inside are inate
and continue to reflect and resonate 
our true divine selves that eminate
from The One True Reality that originates
and does not have to ponder or contemplate
about a thing when He/She intends to create
only command it 
to be 
and 
it is.
