Yasmin Mogahed’s position on the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict:
Author’s-Note: Yasin Mogahed’s spin on the issue takes us to a place that we ca all relate to: it sets us up & forces us to truly reflect upon the different scenarios that she presents, and how we would view them, had they been in place of the Palestinian-Israeli issue. I used to wonder why Continue reading

Appearances are not Realities
I’m from the Hood, with a heart of Gold. I’ve never been rich, but never been sold. I’m scruffy, like a pad of Brillo. My skin, thick as an Armadillo. But, my touch is as soft as Clouds. My voice utters only sweet-sounds. So, don’t judge me, just because of my surface. If all you Continue reading

The Opera of Obscurity
My yearning for Isolation: I wish I were still in the womb. I’d like to call it my birth-tomb. It is just like a Cocoon, in it I am wrapped inside. Divorced from the world, my perfect way to hide. Protected, unjudged, allowed to be free, and unplugged. No one’s here to disturb or mock Continue reading

My Love-Letter to the one who refuses to love me back:
I’m not in despair, and I no longer care. You really didn’t want me at all anyway. I now see who you really are, it’s clear. You just wanted to pass the time of day. You knew in your heart that you didn’t want me; but, you kept it going. You already had it in Continue reading

My Transition from Boy to Man
I was once a Boy: I used to be a boy. My life was a toy. I would take things lightly, and shun responsibility, but that was clearly in the past. Pursuing the fleeting and worthless pleasures, you think you want, really never last. I used to think of myself as the “ladies’-man”; I arrogantly Continue reading

My thoughts on the Sikh Temple shooting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin:
When people think about Wisconsin, they usually think about cheese, not murder, especially when these murders are xenophobically motivated. This Summer will be known for a lot of things, and unfortunately, murders will be at the top of the list, of our 2012. First, it was the gruesome murder of Trayvon Martin, then, the recent, Continue reading

My thoughts on Feminism (The hatred & disrespect of Men):
Author’s note: Since I’ve already written a poem about Misogyny, it’s just as fair to write one about Feminism as well. Feminism, as we know it to be has been incepted to be an alternative for women to Misogyny, to combat Misogyny even. However, unfortunately, it has begun to cause the same ill-affects that Misogyny Continue reading

My thoughts on dealing with opposition:
This has taken me a very long time to learn, but here it is: “If a lynch-mob wants to hang you, you don’t give them a noose; if someone wants to shoot you, you don’t give them a loaded gun; if an archer wants to hunt you down, you don’t give him arrows.” Gareth Bryant Continue reading
