The Ballad of Somalia:
Author’s note: Here’s another great anonymous piece, about exploitation: “Sorry to buck the trend, my activist friend. But your activ-isms have created schisms in my land. Reminds us of days gone by. As your ancestor’s ships arrived. On our shores with the good book in hand. We are not obliged to match the size… Continue reading

In the past decade, we’ve seen a huge debate around the concept of “Sharia: in America “, what it means, as well as what it’s implications are on Americans as well as to women, on a more global scale. I’ve known Carlin for a while and we’ve started to have some discussions on the matter.… Continue reading

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

The Perils of MSA-Life, anywhere/everywhere:
Author’s note: This is an anonymous-advice, that someone, whom is a Muslim, would like to give, to Muslims generally, and also, to Muslims involved in MSA (Muslim Students Association) work, whether you’re in High School, or at the College level. I think that this advice is very commendable, and even anonymously, I’m sure that it took… Continue reading

In Memorandum of Steven Biko:
Author’s note: A Somali-Muslim sister decided to dedicate a poem, to this African leader. However, she wants to remain anonymous, which is cool with me. I do think that this poem is good, and, that she has something important to say in this particular work. So, this is also the reason as to why I… 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

My Wounded-Knee & my Broken-Heart: The Untold Tragedy of the Native American
Author’s note: The infamous Wounded-Knee massacre, in 1890, officially, marked the official end of true Native-American sovereignty, within North America, particularly within the newly expanding United States. This, even though a massacre more than a battle, is historically considered the last armed-conflict of the officially recognized “Indian-Wars” era. This event once and for all broke… 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

Triangles and Eyes:
Your eyes behold nothing but corruption and lies But you don’t have to be wise to uncover the disguise Behind the music and rhymes To them money, power and deception is the prize But looking fly and getting high isn’t getting you to the seventh sky It’s easy to deny But when you understand why… Continue reading
