I feel like I'm over thinking the problem
At times giving pain too much power
I watch the time, not so I won't be late
Instead I'm counting down to the final hour
Something feels like it's drifting floating further away
So I stand on needles waiting for that chance
To choose my death over their dishonor
But no longer fully sure who "they" are anymore
My confusion and paranoia rising
And my heart rate is slowing
When I think its about over I notice a length to the story
Will is soon be over or just the next chapter in the run
I can only breath for one somehow I do speak for some
Maybe that's why my thoughts are so jumbled
Praying is trying and hope is twisted
Than it starts to feel pointless to think hard about the masses when most can careless
The passion is dying the paralyzes is rising
Maybe that's why I stay on the outside
Walking through the fog alone because when I try to give
I notice my sacrafice is being returned with trouble

Excellent Peace brotha.

I used to do poetry,

Jalili, I sense that yo
get it B.


Yes, we validating they interpretation of reality
and your light skinned cousin's yo, they got it on G.

The problem ain't you, the problem is interpretation.

This God over here says' in Gen.6:6 that when he created Africans, he made a mistake.

To make things worst, for us to repent, we have to stop thinking, and seekin' knowledge of self.


Now ta make matters worst. They God came back. In the flesh of a African, and killed himself on a cross you can check that part when you "feel like" reading Colossians *<<<(my bust, I meant Phillipians 2:6 were you can read that exactly, "Have this mind among yourselves, which you have in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross.)


To atone for the mistake?

Declared you lame, in the image of God, and they ran with that sh..

Come on bruh', what? Leaving everyone, like us trapped in "stereotypical limbo".

Now we doin' flips, to prove how wrong God is?

Killing everything but the curse of being born into sin for wanting to seek knowledge.

Now er'body scare us. They "feel" like God is a loser; and he came in ya'll image. So if fighting is prescribed,
"Black nigga's with depression is the ones we busting out on, first"? Because, they God is undependable, so they ready to finish him, and put to rest people of color, and start over fresh.

They religion ain't "mind" though.

I live in the GOD.

Transforming into a human is my only righteous goal.

The Devil had me duped. I preached Genesis straight from the Bible.

Until I realized I validate my reality, so how I'm hatin' God for?

Plus I'm reading the Quran, it say use ya brain, to verify information, and that the GOD I worship today don't create nothing in vain.




Question: When people "feel" "What would God do"? Are they internalizing the doctrine of suicide, slavery and death, literally?




That's yours if you want brotha. Please keep it, I want you to have it. From me to you.

Peace be upon you
