Apartheid

He was baptized into slavery 
And submerged in the winter 
Of your hatred 
And was converted to poverty 
In the land of gold,

You taught him that GOD 
Was a white baas 
Who had invented the pass! 
And the police were 
The angels of death,

He learned to read 
Whites only 
Lest he fall into heresy 
And desecrate your piss-pots,

And as you crept 
Out of the garden 
Of your humanity 
And excommunicated 
Yourselves from justice 
And damned your generation 
Chained in gold 
To a leper colony, 

And as he stumbled 
Through his oppressive crucifixion 
You took him off your cross 
And sold him in the market place 
To mercenaries while you counted the rosaries 
Of your crimes to man,

Now he a victim 
Of your greed 
A witness to your crimes 
Is finally free.

Human Spirit

Human spirit 
Unconquerable 
Rebounding from 
His enemies severest
Cruelty and persecution 
of him.
Remarkable the resilience 
and strength of his chaste,
pure and noble spirit.
Magnanimous in the victory
Of Islam by forgiving all
After his conquest of his 
Enemies.

The Holy Quraan

The history of man 
Provides ample evidence 
That the pen 
Of reason 
Is indeed 
Mightier than the 
Indiscriminate sword 
Of violence, 
That only that 
Which benefits mankind 
And the socially relevant 
Literature 
Like the holy Quran
Allmighty ALLAH’S 
Book of truth
Guidance, mercy, wisdom, enlightenment and revelation 
Endures the centuries.

The Wing of a Mosquito

In the splendor
Of the night sky
Is the ancient lights
Of whirling stars
Scattered throughout
An expanding universe,
In the vast space
Of the Milky Way galaxy
Scattered with
Countless stars
Is the small stream
Of the oceans
Of the universe
And the world
Is like the wing
Of a mosquito
Pregnant with
The sting of war.

The Courageous

For the courageous
The worst adversities
Provide the most
Fertile soil
For the achievement
Of excellence
Of mind and character.

Maturity

The thinning hair, graying
The wrinkled brow
Evidence of passing years
The eyes reflecting
Patient knowing
Of defeats
Of humiliations
Of adversities surpassed
In life's struggle,

Reflections
Of days of triumph
When the race was won
And the true few
Rejoiced with him 
In the exhilaration of his victory 
While enemies smiled
With daggers cloaked,

Reflections
Of the pleasant years
Of youthful face
Of inquiring mind
And romantic dreams
Of beautiful girls 
Exuberance and vanity mixed 
And in the mist 
Over the ocean 
The seagull sometimes cried
For the river,

Peaceful solitude
Contemplation
Wisdom he holds
In the palm
Of his and
While the eyes
Of his mind
Sees the beautiful face
Of the truth.

That Intimate Hand

That intimate hand 
that shakes 
the rose petals 
in the breeze, 
would rather 
touch his lips, 
Parched 
from being 
in the sun 
too long.

Muhammed Peace Be Upon Him Messenger To Mankind

Universal love
Like a rose
Rejoicing in the giving
Of its fragrance
Wanting nothing in return, 

Human spirit 
Unconquerable 
Rebounding from 
Mans severest cruelty,

For the courageous
The worst adversities
Provide the most
Fertile soil
For the achievement
Of excellence
Of mind and character.

Sincerity

Sincerely
I felt
His handshake soft 
And neither
Time
Nor memory
Would eradicate
His sense of brotherhood.
