Poetic Moods of Black



Discerning poetry of emotions in all of the Original,

The bottom rail, the very last of the merciful,

The poor in spirit, they that mourn, the meek,

The pure in heart and the peacemakers who seem weak,

They who hunger and thirst for righteousness,

And are persecuted and reviled from east to west:

For they shall see Allah, be filled, obtain mercy,

Inherit the earth with a kingdom that’s heavenly;

They shall be comforted and called true Muslims,

Rejoicing and being exceedingly glad for this win.

Four winds breathe upon dry bones in a valley,

Hope in the mystery Babylon, yes her prophecy.

A system being thus far the greatest of all,

Has reached its term and is as of now to fall.

The reign that was superior and never to end

Is crumbling in Allah’s hand for all of her sins.

Now the cornerstone that the builders rejected

Has become the head of the corner undetected.

The very essence of our being, our one-way track,

Our true revelation to these Poetic Moods of Black.

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…
