To: The Children of Israel



Where art thou?

Are you still Israelites?

Or do you claim to be Israelis now?

#Zionist

You were sold to the tribe of Judah, And they sold you to the Sabeans. You were scattered among the nations,

Not to one nation: Germany,

The righteous were stripped of their garments,

And Satan put them on as if he was righteous.

However, Israel is not a place,

She is, in her glory, a people. Wherever she goes, there she is,

And wherever she is, the place is Israel.

Where is Israel now?

She is in the land of Pharaoh,

Do you want to ask how?

As if you did not even know.

Allah said, “They have also divided up My land,

They have cast lots for My people, Have given a boy as payment for a harlot,

And sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.” (Joel 3:2–3)

Did this even happen to the Israelis? What blood is in your veins?

Didn’t you cast some of those lots, Drink some of that wine?

And you have on some of those garments,

As if you are righteous.

Look in the mirror and see who you are;

Say it! Is it an Israeli or an Israelite? It is time…

He is calling;

His hand is outstretched still.

Where art thou?

About this poem

I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich! I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

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…
