What is “Islāmic-Feminism”/What is a “Muslim-Feminist”?!!!
Author’s note: Since Feminism has taken a very significant foothold, within the greater Muslim-World, in our modern-age, as a direct-result of the atrocities brought on by Misogyny, many Muslims, both Men & Women, whom are religiously in favor of Feminism, have decided to coin the term “Islamic-Feminism/Muslim-Feminist”, to identify with the greater Feminist-Movement, with an… Continue reading

My “Dear-John” letter to John Fitzgerald Kennedy:
Author’s note: John Fitzgerald Kennedy has been dead a long time. And, ironically, people are still clinging to the classic lone-gunman story, of how one many shot JFK, from at least 3-directions, causing 3 completely different bullet wounds, on 3 completely separate parts of his body. With that being said, I’ve made a poem, describing… Continue reading

Camelot: Unplugged
Excalibur was never my strength; Lancelot was always treacherous. I never trusted Guinevere, the Round Table Knights ever malicious. The street-life my kingdom, the projects my castles. The hustlers, shooters and stick-up kids, my vassals. My upbringing like the water of a moat: stale, stagnant. No drawbridges to escape from my illusionary palace. The dregs… Continue reading
