A Critique of the Ḥadīth of Umm Waraqah Author’s note: This article is exclusively based upon finding out that the person whom had wrote the Pro-Homosexual/Same-Gender-Marriage article for AltMuslim, Pamela Taylor, apparently, has been granted the title of “Imam”. Now, What I plan to do is to simply clarify what exactly an Imam truly is,… 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
