The UN Refugee Agency, UNHCR, asserted last month, After ten years of war, Yemen remains one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises
And UNICEF reported, 2 MILLION children are in need for food, water, shelter and medicine and "children are being robbed of their futures" like the rolls of dices

Yemen, they've reduced you to that of a car, a lemon
Seeing you as an inferior like most of them conceptualize women

Playing out their terrorism, the corrupt and the deranged of high office in the US
**** your innocent while defending their hundreds of strikes saying to the world we could care less

Secretary of Defense, Hegseth making their plans to attack "Iran backed Houthis" a family affair  
His lie, after lie, after lie giving God reason to whip his fake *** and tell him don't you dare  

The so-called Superpowers after another's land, desiring to steal resources, and dominate
Yemen with its predominantly Muslim population will INSHA ALLAH soon do away with their evil and hate

Regional leaders turn their other cheek at your daily struggle and suffering and the ones that rule the country sitting above you, stab you in the back
Because it is Taqwa, fear of God, no not correct, rather consciousness of "ALLAH's power presence and authority...HIS merciful power and HIS corrective power" (Imam Muhammad al-Asi) that these cowards lack

Yemen, Remembering The Dismissed On Earth Day
Let us see it and its oppressed people every day because for their human rights to be honored and for their freedom to be won, there is no other way

(When reading this poem, it's fitting to pronounce 'Salman' using the Arabic pronunciation.)

Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
Tellin' Gaza I understand

Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
Fighting by taking a stand

Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
Salman, tellin' Gaza we understand

Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
Salman, fighting by taking a stand

Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
An Athan telling the world, we must take command

Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
Prepping us for prayer, prayer/a daily ritual, which is supposed to help us to assert, Oppressors we're not a fan  

Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
Salman, tellin' Gaza I understand

Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
Salman, fighting by taking a stand

Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
Tellin' Gaza we understand

Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
Announcing 'God is Greater than', 'God is more Important than', 'God is more Significant than', 'God is more Powerful than' Trump and Netanyahu's clan

Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
With his Athan, insisting, Palestine, take my hand

"THANK YOU SOOO MUCH, SALMAN, FOR CONTINUING TO BE ON THE FRONTLINES OF OUR BATTLEFIELD TO RESIST THE OPPRESSORS OF THE OPPRESSED/OF OURS IN PALESTINE/OUR HOMELAND AND FOR ALL OF THE SACRIFICES OF YOUR TIME, RESOURCES, ETC. TO DO WHAT YOU CAN(LIKE HOW YOU RECITED THE ATHAN AT THIS COMMUNAL GATHERING FOR IFTAR IN FRONT OF THE HOME OF FORMER US SECRETARY OF GENOCIDE, ANTONY BLINKEN) TO AID IN OUR HUMAN FAMILY GETTING THEIR/OUR HUMAN RIGHTS HONORED AND TO ASSIST IN A FREE PALESTINE BECOMING A REALITY, A FREED HOLY LAND. PICTURES OF YOU ENGAGING IN GRASSROOTS ACTIONS AT PUBLIC FORUMS SAY A LOT; PICTURE TAKERS (EVEN ONES AT THE AL-QUDS DAY (2025) PROTEST) LIKE TO KEEP YOU IN THE SPOTLIGHT :) AS TUPAC WOULD HAVE LIKELY SAID TO YOU IF HE WERE STILL ALIVE, YOU ARE APPRECIATED!"

From Najwa and your oppressed family in the now miserably destroyed land of olive trees and delicious tasting kunafa.

To Salman: This **photo [of Salman giving the Athan] was seen on Hazami's Instagram and because I was so drawn to it and find it so appealing, I saved it as a draft in my email on 4/21/24. After viewing it, a couple of ideas for how to use it came to mind. The idea to write the poem below was not one of the ideas I thought of then. The writing of this poem happened this morning when just as I was getting ready to make a few duas, the first and second phrases/verses came to me (after reciting out loud a gift I intend to offer to another person); I recited both verses out loud and was very happy with them. When I went to my email a bit later in the morning, I decided to type these two phrases/verses and save them in my draft folder, and after seeing them written or typed before me, I made the decision to write you a poem. 

**Tried to put the photo here but it did not work

*I've also made this poem a protest song! Insha Allah, I will sing it to you/Salman and others.

Mixed race, pretty face,
Patrick Mahomes,
don't go to the bottle
and be drunken, one who forgettably roams

At the big game, you disappointed your fans as you stated on X,
But more importantly, days prior, you let down your GOD on a world's camera,
and made me wonder, what cowardly ways you might show next

US President Trump said when asked if he has a favorite for the Superbowl game...“I don’t want to say, but there’s a certain quarterback that seems to be a pretty good winner."
“Yeah, I mean, it’s always cool to be able to play in front of a sitting president, someone at the top position in our country,” said Mahomes, who shouldn't have been a moral compass spinner.

Mahomes said he “didn’t see that clip” of Trump’s remarks, “but obviously, it’s cool to hear that he’s seen me play football and respects the game that I play,” the quarterback said.
You know just as well as I do, Mahomes, that Trump respects nothing about the "Black job" slaves as he would call you play and to him, you, your team, and what you do on the field are simply entertainment, what you should have answered at the press conference to honor your ancestors dead.

From "The best quarterback in the world"...We didn't start how we wanted to; obviously those turnovers hurt. And I take all the blame for that. I mean those early turnovers swing the momentum of the game, and they kinda capitalized on them, and they scored on the one and then they got an immediate touchdown and so that's 14 points that I kinda gave them, and it's hard to come back from that in a Superbowl, and so I just didn't play to my standard, and I have to do better next time.
Yeh, and if the opportunity returns, tell the truth that you are honored that the President is coming to your big game unless he is Trump, a lying, corrupt, ******, bigot, The US will "take over" and "own" Gaza..., no remorse convicted felon, and "The best quarterback in the world" don't make lying by omission your crime.

Mixed race, pretty face,
Patrick Mahomes,
with reporters in February 2025,
you played diplomatic,
AND did your teammate, Taylor Swift's not married to Kelce,
thus, no Superbowl win for you and your team going to its' trophy case

"But I still sit here shell-shocked by what we witnessed. The Chiefs didn't lose. They got their *** kicked. They got stomped. They got it given to them. And to see Patrick Mahomes sitting on the bench just draped in humility, it was like ****...You saw it, right? Travis Kelce was like ****. Ain't nothing we could do. And you know as bad as it was, and as bad as it looked, the offensive line for Kansas City Chiefs got destroyed." -Stephen A. Smith, ESPN FIRST TAKE, 2/10/25

"Well, Mahomes didn't perform, I don't think," a female spectator laments when interviewed after the Superbowl game.

Superbowl 2025 Losers' Take Away Lesson: When asked as an athlete anything concerning a President, always say in the press room what you say in the locker room.

She's getting louder
speaking truth to power

Atefeh Rokhvand's getting louder
speaking truth to power

Speaking truth to power
she's getting louder

A KAAS fighter getting louder
speaking truth to power

She took the floor away from ****** Blinken
Extremely ****** of with a lying Secretary of Genocide monster - from her eyes, no winkin

As they pulled Atefeh out to the exit door
she raised her voice of truth even more

She's getting louder
speaking truth to power

Atefeh Rokhvand's getting louder
speaking truth to power

Speaking truth to power
she's getting louder

A KAAS fighter getting louder
speaking truth to power

Showing the world what holding a despot accountable until his final days looks like
She used her honest, accurate words instead of her ******* to tell Antony Blinken, Take a hike

"The prettiest revolutionary" is a role model of social justice activism, an icon for her daughter and many others
I'm sure her and my loved ones who have passed on are smiling and all of Gaza's martyred mothers

She's getting louder
speaking truth to power

Atefeh Rokhvand's getting louder
speaking truth to power

Speaking truth to power
she's getting louder

A KAAS fighter getting louder
speaking truth to power

*I bet you no one else wrote you a poem :) haha
This poem, this gift is for you/Atefeh and anyone else who reads it.
Reading it out loud (which I will do to you, INSHA ALLAH), I cried.

I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say, “Whosoever of you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then [let him change it] with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart — and that is the weakest of faith.” [Muslim]

Guys, remember Max T?
The Israeli at the Zionist Embassy
in Washington, DC
"Atefah is a terrorist," he loves being a bully

Max T couldn't keep away from KAAS (Keffiyeh As A (head) Scarf) fighting, sister-in-law of Ensi
You know her, never far away on the battleground from her bestie, Asi
and the wife of a husband demonstrating Muslim male heroism, Mehti
We both love Palestine and its persecuted people, right, sweetie

On 1/6/25, God's blessings fell from a sky in serenity
to remind us of how the works of purity
can turn Max T into Mehti

As quickly as the snowflakes in the new year blew jittery,
Standing in the procession line, the look-alike's poster reading, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, let free

From Max T to Mehti,
the power of actions of piety
and self-determination emerging consistently
showing the world what can result when we stand for the downtrodden's dignity

Max T, of the Israhelli Embassy
metamorphose Mehti (Mehdi Nahidian), of Palestinian solidarity

*May ALLAH continue to work through us to continue turning Max T's into Mehti's.

*Mehti :), you look exactly like Max T wearing the same kind of winter face gear that he wears to disguise his face or to hide away as not to be identified; even your eyes peeking out reminded me of his as he regularly wears a similar face covering. It was this observation that motivated me to write this poem, and to write it immediately (even though I was to have started working on a few other things). When the inspiration comes, it must be put to work haha

*Thank you very much, Mehti for all of the good works you have done for our lovely, human family!

You're wearing a lapel pin with the Israeli flag on it, I said to him as we were riding the train full of passengers.
He shook his head, Yes.
You're a terrorist supporter.
You're a supporter of a terrorist state.
You condone, you support a terrorist state which makes you a terrorist.
Turning to an acquaintance of mine, I say out loud,
My friend, you see the guy there. He supports Israel, a terrorist state.
He supports a criminal state.
Can you believe that?
He's wearing a Israel lapel pin to accent his clothing, I said as I laughed sarcastically.
The passenger wearing a monsterous devil's lapel pin quietly and uncomfortably gets up from the seat and walks to the doors to prepare to exit.
I hope you reconsider being a terrorist supporter, I say to him from my seat at a distance from the doors he's soon to exit.
I hope you reconsider being a crimes against humanity supporter.
Israel is committing barbaric crimes against premature infants, babies, children (over 50% of the Palestinian population are children), innocent women, innocent men.

"We have a terrorist supporter on board the train."
If YOU'RE ONE, get off.
If YOU'RE NOT ONE, stay on.
Stay on and let us together fight back the terrorists.
The terrorists on trains and off of trains.

This poem was written on a metro train on Monday morning, 12/16/24.

NO VISION PROBLEMS, NO PROBLEMS SEEING OUT OF THE FRONT WINDOW, RIGHT TRAIN CONDUCTORS?! WHO THE TERRORISTS ARE IS CRYSTAL CLEAR. WHO THE MURDERERS ARE IS CRYSTAL CLEAR. THEIR ACTIONS ARE FULL SPEED AHEAD BARBARIC, HORRIFIC, ROARING WITH EVIL, DEMONIC.

Hey TERRORISTS, BIDEN AND NETANYAHU...How many sedatives did you have to take to actually get your head on the pillow to try to sleep last night? I'm sure GOD'S whippin' your WIMPY, BULLYING, LYIN', PHONY, WAR CRIMINAL, MURDERER ***.

Hey TERRORIST, US SECRETARY OF STATE, ANTONY BLINKEN...How poorly did you perform in bed with your wife last night or was your wife away from you all's bed on a hunt for a new husband, a man with *****?

Did I see you wearing a Prada outfit while your boyfriend held his phone snapping away playing photographer?

Didn't we watch you on your Instagram post waving in front of Taj Mahal?

Don't you often drive slow in your Porsche as you enter the parking lot of car shows?

Is it not so that you often wear sweatshirts with your alma mater's name on the front and on the back read, Graduated in 2021 with an M.D.?

Why haven't I seen you, you who broadcast most things, in a pic making Yemeni desserts and then offering them to children in the community who are hungry reminding them that their family in Yemen are hungry too and are beyond desperately in need of food?

What's the reason you haven't taken purchased copies of THE ASCENDANT QURAN authored by Muhammad al-Asi to a few local communities in America to pass out as gifts to single mothers colored black who know that they are oppressed or are interested in learning that they are, desire help, and are appreciative of it (the most oppressed person in the USA is the Black woman though the corrupt ones in power and many Black men don't want you and I to know this very fact; they don't want it to be disseminated, don't want it to be common knowledge in societies and in the world for some very specific reasons; they keep it under the rug and make you and I believe via a number of ways that it is the Black man) who could certainly benefit from reading it and learning from her GOD to help her better cope with and navigate the harsh reality of and daily sufferings in her life?

How come you music artists and performers who write lyrics and sing or rap for audiences publicly have not released a song about Palestine or Lebanon?

Where's your YouTube on your YouTube channel that regularly showcases many of your personal happenings, personal outings, personal likes with a talk about the persecution of the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar and what chief contributions we can make to end it?

If you show off for your friends, why aren't you showing off for the oppressed?

If you show off for strangers, why aren't you showing off for the oppressed?

If you show off for your colleagues, why aren't you showing off for the oppressed?

Show off for the oppressed so that the oppressed know and their oppressors know that the oppressed must be freed immediately, before I can say again,

"Show off for the oppressed."

This poem was written early this morning after reciting BISMILLAH HIR RAHMAN NIR RAHEEM before starting. My desire and eagerness to begin writing combined with my desire not to do anything requiring rigorous output as I was fatigued from the day prior, combined with not wanting to put forth the effort to communicate from the heart or sincerely (because this is the only way I want to do it) with ALLAH was intercepted by my remembrance of the reminder to his audience from Imam Muhammad al-Asi during one of his brilliant presentations that we are to begin everything by saying BISMILLAH HIR RAHMAN NIR RAHEEM because we want ALLAH to be present, to be there to assist us. I immediately did or with no further delay, I did what I was supposed to do; a concrete example of the power of having accurate information to use or to apply to everyday, real-life situations.

International Human Rights Day was yesterday, December 10th!! A special shout out to Chris! Unlike many, he has/you've shown me and the oppressed he cares/you care about and are fighting for, are a consistent, dedicated advocate for, are praying for as he/you did yesterday evening with others what humanity is and he has/you've shown me and the oppressed what wanting to honor the human rights of others looks like. "We do what we can in different ways," he/you said to me yesterday. Thanks very much to him/Thanks very much Chris for showing off [and showing up ;)] for the oppressed!!

When writing this poem yesterday, I did not know that it was International Human Rights Day. It's interesting that ALLAH helped me to desire writing a poem about something significant yesterday, helped me generate thoughts, and would guide my mind and my hand to write such a fitting for the day poem. ALLAH works with us and through us in amazing ways.
