My Solace from Chaos
I’m constantly lambasted by hardship… …as adversity strikes just like a whip… …I’m completely lost in the Forests of trials & uncertainty… …as the Wolves of deception just hunt after me tirelessly… …I’m surrounded by Dessert, as my barren hopes & dreams, carried away from my reach, by the Winds of Providence… …I came to Continue reading

I live Life with no Filter:
I’m unrefined, unpolished…after an earthquake, demolished…I’m the raw substance. I’m uncouth, aloof…sarcastic thru the roof…but, at the same time, I’m totally honest. There’s no foundation on my surface, to hide my bruises that I’ve attained in my life. There’s no shield, that is used, to conceal what I’ve experienced, by trials and strife. From toy Continue reading

Imaginative-Reasoning:
Imagine a Chessboard, without pieces… …or, a Dissertation, without a Thesis. What if the Homeo had no stasis… …the World’s weather no phases? Try to picture the Arctic-Circle, with no Ice-Caps… …and, all of the Animals extinct, not coming back. Let’s think of a Planet without compliance… …filled with hypocrisy, apathy and violence.

“My Poetic-Proposal to my Lord”
Oh, Allah:Let me remember you when I am both happy and sad……regardless to whether I am calm or stark raving mad.Allow me to be ever thankful for any test which you’ve set forth in my path……for me never to take Your mercy for granted, that I never earn Your wrath.

Of the Slandered, but not of the Fallen:
[wpvideo LuHfJXGK] There’s news around town that Gareth Bryant is a fraud. They mean to judge me as I’m to be judged by my Lord. I’m given no recourse for self defence, against offense which can’t be proven. There’s a lot of behind the scenes envy at play, in shadows as a dank craven. I’ve Continue reading

The Slander-Games:
[wpvideo sXo5AxI5] Don’t ever spy, and never delve into envy… …you’ll realize your good deeds aren’t any. When we violate the sanctity of reputation, without proof… …on Judgement-Day we’ll find our records will be all aloof. Never try to take what Allah has given someone else… …the fire of Justice will engulf all of your Continue reading

Gareth Bryant vs. Cyrus McGoldrick:

All-American/Non-American:
I remember in middle school, my nickname became Saadam Hussein. I used to wrap a towel around my head so they’d all laugh. Their laughter used to ease the insults and pain But i realize I wasn’t their friend, I was just their joke. It was an early morning on tuesday. I was a young Continue reading

Author’s-Note: I’ve arrived at a beautiful realization, today, based upon a much-needed epiphany, decided by Divine-Providence, from Allah, the Creator/Lord of the Universe. For every person who has ever told me that I wasn’t good enough for them, there have been thousands who would tell me they want me by their side… …for every person Continue reading
