A Phenomenon



This is what they do… They kill
If you’re a threat or if you oppose

The righteous man hands closed
He submits all that he has to God’s will

Do you hear me, or are you deaf still?
Were you one of those He chose?

Need to know are you listening I suppose
To His spirit of truth and what’s real

The official story of Dr. Sebi’s death
Because, be careful of what you eat

Money is made in your trick or treat
And die to those who unlock health

Keep them confused control their desire
They don’t know, won’t study, ignorance

Make it strange keep them in a trance
Not to know they’re being led to the fire

All the true leaders/teachers they murder
It’s the way they maintain their grip

Once upon a time they used a whip
But nowadays, in a coffin and under

So, if you know a little something beware
Here’s the thing, are you scared?

They know I know, but I don’t care
I was created and am a stranger here.

Need to know are you listening I suppose
Do you hear me, or are you deaf still?

To His spirit of truth and what’s real
Were you one of those He chose?

Deja vu… Under the sun there’s nothing new
Just time in between our ultimate return

Justice for the righteous very well earned
A Phenomenon, and on who’s side, are you?

Active Revolutionist from Chicago, by way of New Jersey, Atlanta, Birmingham, and now NOLA; dedicating his life to establish a truly independent economic system for the poor and oppressed peoples of America first. Fighting for those faces you see and don't see on the websites: THE ARK PROJECT LLC THE BEEP INC. BEEP BLACK WALL STREET BOOKS I'm Muslim, I'm Black and I'm American so I guess I have three strikes against me LOL. I'm here reaching out to those concerned about the great divides that no-one wants to address and I'm here to address them head-on (Social Injustice, Islamophobia, Systematic Oppression, etc...). I am the author of this book: "Oh, Say Can You See!?" (Secrets) & Truth Is In The Art which shows how passionate I am about what was done and what continues to be done and ignored. Poetry is as a result of my life experiences as well as my opinions. They are my studies of the scriptures while paralleling them with history along with the present day's crimes against humanity, by those that claim to govern us. Keep in mind that my love for this country is beyond measure and incomparable. However, there are principles that a person ascertains to and therefore must stand upon. more…
