"jamal" poems
It was almost 10 oclock, their eyes heavy as rocks, Erik and Jamal headed home The fork in the road that they've always known to mean they tread on all alone They made their embrace and started their pace and Erik did not hasten much Jamal however was quick to endeavor, because mama had told him to rush They walked their separate ways, reflected on their days, and coveted what tomorrow would bring At that very moment, their train of thought stolen, by the bellow of sirens they sing A large police van rolled upon each young man, and flashed a light on each of their face They told Erik hurry, his mom needn't worry, yet they questioned young Jamal's pace They told him get down, he got on the ground and struggled in his discomfort Erik heard a bang in the night, that had gave him a fright, and thought to himself where'd it come from?

Privilege
At the Saudi Arabian Consulate, In Istanbul, Turkey, I hear Something dreadful happened, although Details are as yet unclear. Saudi born Jamal Khashoggi, Journalist for the Washington Post, Entered the consulate knowing that It might not be a welcoming host. An Apple Watch might seem useless. Khashoggi's Watch, nevertheless, Recorded his brutal beating and ****** According to the Turkish press. But was it an Apple Watch, or had Turkish authorities bugged the room? Whatever the case, people are certain That that’s where Khashoggi met his doom. We know he entered the building whole. We're waiting to hear more news releases, For many fear that the journalist, Exited the building in pieces. When asked if he'd condemn the Saudis If they had committed the ghastly deed, Trump at first appeared reluctant To criticize them or intercede. The Saudis pay billions of dollars For weapons, he said, to the USA. And what's-his-name wasn't even An American citizen anyway. Later, Trump admitted that We need a thorough investigation. But sanctions involving money? No, That would severely hurt our nation. Meanwhile, the Saudis **** innocent Yemenis with the weapons they buy, And rectitude falls by the wayside As bank accounts multiply. -by Bob B (10-13-18)

Hazaaron Mein Hai chehra tera
Despite multiple accusations Of ****** impropriety, Trump still demonstrates A false display of piety. He knows his loyal fans out there Would never, ever truly deceive him. He denies whatever he wants And they will all believe him. Justice Brett Kavanaugh Aspires for both fame and glory. Somehow he got people to Give credence to his manicured story. Following Trump's slick advice, He thought, "Hey, why not try it? Whatever they accuse me of, I will out-and-out deny it." Putin said he hadn't meddled In our twenty sixteen elections. Although we know that Internet trolls Were following his cunning directions. Putin merely had to say, "Mr. Trump, I did not do it." That is all that Trump needed To say to the world, "You see: I knew it." Trump asked the Saudi king If he had had a journalist killed In Istanbul. That is where Jamal Khashoggi's blood had been spilled. The king and prince denied it. Trump, Satisfied, said, "You see: The king said they didn't do it. His denial's enough for me." Just deny whatever you've done. That's the message we are getting. Having to pay consequences Can stifle your plans and be upsetting. Just deny it, and you will have All of your fans believing your tale. Turn them all against the victim To save your *** and stay out of jail. -by Bob B (10-16-18)

Just Deny It!
We can hear: "caw caw! Ping ping!" As we return to the bust of The Wiygg; He who knowest thou deliver Burning Sword To Sanjeet and Romesh Singh, Those who beat their blood-soaked wings. Once that particular door has been shut, And twilight enfolds from within, Lang, Rita, Jamal And Hatesh P. Benjamin, Where will you call home Once the end of the night begins?

We Must Do This Again, Darling!
Ahmad Jamal and his classic tune Poincianno provided a backdrop where I could relax and relate the poignant beauty of the peace and madness back then surrounding the Kennedy assassination. Oscar Peterson churns out the notes in a definitive yet light way that would qualify as easy listening jazz to some jazz buff in their weaker moments. Eroll Gainer with his classic misty haunts one with his simple singularity of musical paroxysms and leads into a fine repertoire. George Shearing with his liltingness relaxed me back then when I was recovering from the whole thing And Camsey Lewis with his lightly penetrating rendition of "The In Crowd" sustained my sense of humor and helped me with my appreciation of mainstream jazz. Cela, jazzmasters all to me and yes like that light jazz as opposed to poboy like Miles Davis except for Charlie Parks and yet I got into a Goth pianist Jack then Thelonius Monk who was sorta jazzy I acquired a mediocre taste for.

A Few Remarks on Five Favorite Jazz Pianists of Mine When I Was Discovering Jazz Back in the Early Sixties
By: Cedric McClester Saudia Arabia Protectors of the Islamic Faith Is kingdom that’s not safe Whose behavior makes one chafe Under MBS it’s anybody’s guess Who’ll be killed or at best Locked away in a hotel Until their wrists and ankles swell Although the evidence is murky In a motion that was jerky At their embassy in Turkey They killed Jamal Kashoggi Before he could light a stogie And chopped his body up So as not to interrupt Their plot to cover-up How about the war in Yemen That has no predictable ending Seems to have ‘em hemmed in And what they cannot hide Is that it’s clearly genocide Which the US is complicit in In the name of King Salman Look at the weapons that we send What we can’t ignore Are their actions we abhor Which they must answer for Or is it business as usuall? Because of our refusal To make them conform To accepted norms Which should set off alarms Cedric McClester, Copyright © 2018.  All rights reserved.

Welcome to America Where they call it the home of the brave While millions of Americans are working as slaves Barely passing the minimum wage As the government gives out food stamps to put out the rage They check out our mailbox They listen to our phone calls They'd do anything to throw us Back where we came from Like a pack of animals Like we're fresh out the zoo While millions of citizens walk around Without a fucken clue About what the government is able to do Welcome to America Where they call themselves the land of the free While 47 million people struggle with poverty They got more food banks than schools More negative media on the news Names like Jamal, Raheem, Abdul Can't get through an airport in peace "Zainab Mustafa, Come with us please" They look at my fam and think they got us all down Like all immigrants are the same Like we're all fucken clowns Got the cops pulling me over for no **** reason ***** looks from left and right As if I committed treason They treat us like ebola Like we're a fucken disease Anything to get us to leave No matter what we do, It will never appease As if Columbus was the first to walk this land Not the people with painted faces and feathered bands Have y'all forgotten the first people here were brown not white? Talking about freedom of speech Like they own the bill of rights The irony of the first amendment Freedom of religion Yet they've still condemned it To practice anything other than their own Expecting church to be attended Expecting us to forget what we've known "You're in America now! The past doesn't matter!" I'm not here to fit in Or kiss someone's *** to flatter Welcome to America Once known as Freedonia Where the cities never sleep Diagnosed with insomnia As homeless shelters are packed And crackheads fill the streets As government officials lay on Egyptian cotton sheets Welcome to America Where there is no war Where we watch your every move And predict what's in store Anything we can do to reassure A more secure nation Even if it means cleaning up these immigrant abominations So have a wonderful stay In our lovely USA

White privilege' a phrase I didn't understand I accepted every man And I assumed the rest of the world did too Sure, a racist joke is fine, whether crossing a black or white line It's just comedy after all, no malice is meant for a fall Together we'll still stand tall But then I looked outside of my world Where the conscious stereotype in abundance sprawled From another's point of view, it's a completely different view Even in this time and day, If your skin isn't 'white' you're likely to pay A price, of some sort, As professional worlds are warped Why can't a black actor play James instead of Jamal And what if you let the brown guy play the lead role We are a multi culture, Our screens should reflect the present and future Who cares for the colour of your skin Ability in your craft is how you should win So, looking through some casting calls I see instantly, The affect white privilege has on this community

'white privilege'
My father bought me some gifts. One was the biggest dollhouse; With a doll, fashion clothes, And all things that glitter gold. With a frown I asked for more! He then bought me a red car, So my doll would be a superstar. I shouted I needed more! He then bought me a male doll. I married them; naming him Jamal. After, I started to ponder; About all my father’s gift, How he showered me with love, But I only saw what he missed.

Steven Hezeki Andre.. Have all abused my love and made me into this cold person, hey I won't give them all the credit maybe it's something I've always possessed. Maybe I've always been this person and I just had to get stabbed alittle for it to become apparent. Xavier Vulnerability was at is finest. Who would've thought I'd let just anyone get a piece of me, like I'm one of those random mints that always end up in your possession, and somehow you don't work to obtain this candy it just comes and happens to get the job done and I am one to blame for thinking at a point of time it was okay. Jamal I feel bad for what I've done to you, and my karma probably awaits but I was bored with you..couldn't help it but at one point I was intrigued by your demeanor but like I said I was bored with you...and my karma probably arrived with Chris I hate free trials. They get you all excited about a game that your so anxious to play and while your enjoying it they tell you your time is up. You can't play anymore unless you sell your soul (buy the game) and once that ad pops up you question is the game even worth it. You wanted my ***** I wanted you to be mine..even risked a friendship for who knows what...karma proved to be a ***** but like you say love is love. Tony You genuinely made me laugh. But my heart was too cold and and too unsure to ever settle down with you because I am not for sell. You wanted me to be your African queen, but you forgot that an a queen is still a queen without a king. So karma might have missed me because for the first time in a long time I followed my intuition and didn't allow you to force commitment on my plate.. which is a good thing because now I have DAQUAN.. All started with a Dm......a ************* twitter Dm....so far nothing is regretted, I hope your as genuine as you come across. I like you. My cold heart likes you hopefully it stays this way...

Kamla sits on the stairs outside a shop Wearing a worn out sari, holding a stick Her thick glasses dusted with dirt from ages She keeps her left hand extended Passerby's coins make up her living Jamal is always on a crutch He sleeps on the footpath outside the masjid When one day, someone drove over him But justice for poor is non-existent But you You stand in the middle of the road While a line of cars wait You burst crackers like it's your own backyard The remanents splattering everywhere Instead Go light someone's life Give Kamla something to eat Give Jamal a blanket Who may be tapping car windows at traffic signals Begging, to overcome our ignorance

Does not exist Injustice to the pain ... .....

And a sense of failure Verde evening injustice dark And with no illusions and nightmares And so Every night before sleep And then I was looking for love is Love harshly colored stone Wounded and buried between the piles of stone Time Fell drops of dew On the leaves of the flowers And time of the hit Lost Jamal splendor tow and shine He also inspected the eye tears of joy When Lose love the old Who assassinated Age From the heart of a devout and female Restricted it life constraints pain Enlarge the heart by the young And became a black eye in the life And overshadowed by grief and deprivation On the same innocent Trick bright colors of life And did not know That behind these colors Black nightmare May prevail white dreams And then I could not see what is around me Only A broken heart It pains me they break I have no tears, only a few Spilled on the cheeks I do not know what ...

My love is like a jasmine flower, Dancing in darkness and light Shaking the fragrance of passion. In company, with summer She fondles sweet dreams Collecting them roses, Giving them butterfly kisses My love sleeps in a magical bed, Woven by blue sky, Adorned with moons and stars, And colors of hot rumor, All hugs her every night, Collecting her dreams smiles, And desire, And plant them in my heart, Roses of chastity, Taking me with such a bliss To the land of freedom and light.

Jasmine Flower
Love, this is the home of craggy sorrow Each bleak house hugs a solitary widow Waiting more at a pale silent window Which portends the dead empty path This carry the northern cold winds Of early mornings into the gloomy strath, Folding time, impatience and wrath, And all day long, become friends Footsteps' echoes and pattering of little ones, Nabbing illusions of joyful shades of tones, And miserable hearts those endowed anxiety, And eyes, lips and noses always ready to cry, Yet how they are innocent, ignorant and pretty. O love, how the untold words are never dry, And never desert me like the green in a cedar Everlasting homage to warmth of leaves, I doubt that my absence should less differ; I believe when time rashly counts and leaves, I should feel your waiting when I disappear Holding close to my soul your rich serenity, I should roam your world like a dead star; Long ago vanished, yet glistens bright and clear Like your sad eyes when full of precious tears Those guard your peace and banish your fears.

We work at three 'til the last of moons crumbles in the sea. We work for thee: we work at noon. Our life's a noun our love's a crown for bitter hell spawn from some tortured simple little sounds of babies and fingers and nails - not found. Hush, now. Our love stand still our job's our will far from secret thrills we'll buy your will - and even your father's white ancient windmill. It's a strange circuitry our nature - ain't it? Jamal doesn't talk: he's been lying on our friendly ground 'til we start to walk 'til he look like chalk. Jamal, Jamal!, what have you done? You used to run free with your brothers, your sisters and me - with the sirens happily and merrily on the beach, the Sun did set and you and me and Ahmed smoked and prayed for a better day yet you sold your soul to the corporation to the inflammation to the ignorant creation to the culture-starvation // and you drink coffee you go out at night with your fine Armani suit with your firing gun shoot with your babbling babbling lil' baby girl ain't a baby no mo' lil' baby girl ain't a baby no mo' she shoot she shoot she shoot - to make the point is moot. Where is your ancient fire? Where is your cool, laid-back tongue that spoke of Youth? Where are your tambourines and wings and strings and flutes? They finished shooting the sky. They finished. They finished. The war is over. Glory hallelujah! Your wife is gone. Her baby, too… Now you don't know how to walk at night as you don't remember nightmares of a butterfly. You don't remember nightmares of a butterfly you don't remember nightmares of a butterfly.

A wide street, Singing prelude to a smaller one, Rests beneath the shade of pestilence-stricken houses, Built one above the other, Or so they seem to be. And that wide street, Tells no stories,other than what is evident, A 'Misshapen Chaos', Constancy of stampede, Dust,unwilling to leave, Trash,adamant enough to keep its place. Yet,when you rush through all this, A keen eye, Might lend you some lunacy, To see the beauty, Beauty of ambiguity, In this place,Shah Jamal! Aye! Vague,that seems, For how weak the people, Unable to leave the state of constant suffering. Yet strong enough to be here, And to be here for life? Still as we march down the street, There are things. 'Things' of all sorts, And things too intimidating for one to fix their eyes on them. Perhaps, Rather certainly, More than eyes, One's nostrils might suffer! For an entire spectrum of odors, Of all kinds, Individually,however,pleasing, But together-Hell! And as the wider street leads to the narrower one, The intensity, The ardency, The fervency, Of the loathsome odors, Might make one lose their faith in God. But holding God's hand, Do we sail through the unwelcoming sea, Of smells,foul and rank, To reach the end,where This curse breaks, And this damnation is no more, And our mirth, And our glee, And our joy Is out of bounds. And absolutely surreal does it feel, To reach the hostel, Alive! Or rather Undead!

“...But Turkey is part of the story of Trump’s treachery. Erdogan, like Putin, Kim, and Zelensky, has learned that in the United States-- as in other authoritarian countries-- only one man really matters.” ______________________________ I wrote this after the brutal ****** of Jamal Khashoggi. I highly suspect the timing and the players of this backroom agreement: The timing of Khashoggi's disappearance and the release of the Evangelical pastor, Brunson are not coincidental. The players were all there and the timing in place. Here's what I think happened: Turkey plays middleman, gets rid of bad press and high-pressure detainee, American Pastor Brunson. Saudi Arabia gets rid of its problematic critic, the newspaperman, Jamal Khoshoggi. The United States gets Pastor Brunson back plus the huge photo-op with Trump on his knees right before the election, claiming to his evangelical base, “See what I did for you? Does that buy your votes?” Everybody gets what they want, except Jamal Khoshoggi, who is tortured, killed, and dismembered in the Saudi embassy in Turkey. Too diabolic and smooth for Trump alone. I think Russia and high level, intelligence brokered this deal. The agreement for it came between Saudis, Trump, and Turkey's Erdogan. Russians standing just out of sight on this – waiting. ________________________ Gotta wonder what our economy is based on? More-so, the morality of our government. We should be outraged and deeply ashamed! Feel terrible for his fiance--not knowing-- not even able to bury him. Support the free press everywhere! ...Latest: Trump's response: But Trump also reiterated his earlier concerns that any punishment of Saudis shouldn't impact trade with Saudi Arabia, signaling that cutting off U.S. military sales to the kingdom may not be an option. "I don't want to hurt jobs," he said...." Fast forward-- 10-8-19: Now we learn a little more about what Turkey wanted from the deal.   Open season on the Kurds, anyone? Trump's letter to Erdogan all but threatening him to cooperate with cease-fire in Syria allowing Putin into the territory he wanted.  Not sure who actually framed Trump's words as he is a a blabbering *******  Jared perhaps?   The letter does Not promise reward for cooperation-- but in carefully couched words-- threatens Erdogan that he could end up like Khashoggi.  As Michael Cohen testified, “Trump never says anything directly.  Sorta like a mafia don-- everything is in code”

Sorry to put this on a poetry site, but everyone needs to know the level of treachery. James Nordland here seems onto it.

*"When I lost him ",she said, "I thought I had lost everything Daniel.Because he meant the world to me" Pain pressed down on her chest as if it were an anchor rested there and she knew her illness was eating deeper .She paused listening to the melody of his soft breath and savoring his manly cincture. She needed more strength too and courage to at least praise him too because like her Grandfather once told her,Love is a two way street and to reach forever, both lovers must at some point take to the driving seat. "But now, having found you my Angel, I realize compared to Paradise, the world means nothing. Heaven is all we need sometimes to forget the pain our world has caused us.I..."she stuttered in realization of the double truth she'd hinted on in her confession and in hesitation of the ultimate. "I love you Dan..." "And I,you more " he replied but Marly wondered if it would stand when he finally learns of the bitter truth that robbed her of Jamal. She contemplated her plight with such sadness that a serpentine tears crawled out her eyes wetting his chest just as she was bleeding inside, metaphorically and literally*

MASTERPIECE
My dear friend; I know you didn't mean to make me cry today, but what you haven't experienced is the feeling of your heart tearing into two because a friend has exposed the harsh reality you don't want to be true.

Cashoggi.
Rabab baj rahi thi kahi, jaha khuda bhi naach raha tha, Phir na jaane kaunsi yaad-e-dard baraat leke agayi. Naghma jo lehrake aayi, banke sur-e-shahen shah, Wo sur jo nafs se mile, to khud dard banke beh gayi. Aye mere jaan-o-dil, jamal-e-mah suna teri nazm-e-kamal, Hum to ro rahe hain, jab se teri lafzon, aasu ban ke beh gayi. Andaaz mat pucho koi, apna batane layak nahi rahi, Khair agar puch hi liya hai, to kya batayen, koi andaz hi nahi rahi. Bata to denge hum, par koi kyun sunega, Khair agar sun hi liya hai, to sun ke bhi kya samjhega. Baatein to bohot hain, gar koi sunna chahe to,Par kaun sunne ke liye baitha rahe? Khair agar baith hi gaya ** to ek be-kafan lash ka,Nazm-e-ashk bhi sun ke jao. Ro to nahi rahe the hum, wo kam to apna lafz kar raha tha, Achanak wo rabab yaad agayi, jis pe khuda nach raha tha. Hum to baithe the, ab khare ** gaye, Na jaane apna rone ki awaaz, us mehfil ko kharab na karde. Ab mai chal raha hoon, kahi aur jaa raha hoon, Kidhar jaa raha hoon, utna nahi pata, Bas rabab se dur chala jaun, Nayi mehfil sajane, udhar firse nazm-e-ashk bhi suna na hai.

nazm e ashk
You're prettier than a tree Nonchalant beauty alone Up the bare hill Reposes in the golden Beams lightly warm and free to placate the moody wind in the abode of leams far from the thirsty rill and the doggedly crow and all of it I can imagine to own Far in the abandoned land Beyond that bare hill Where a lake mimics tranquility A womb of life laden and still Mirrors as your calm beauty And all of it I can see From my dormer window From a portrait of me A sketch unframed, unfinished On an easel, fancifully colored Waits frailly thy brush and hand To accomplish my metamorphosis To achieve thy miraculous guesses Of the unity of pure whiteness And colors of passionate kisses.

A Portrait In love
In the dark night evil walks tonight An evil once lurked cold and mean Its laughter would creep Palestinians dying rivers of blood While soft dreams would weep In the dark night it destroyed what was green.

Sundus Jamal Shalabi, 23
He was 54 years old but that was still too young to go. He starred as Theodore Huxtable on 'The Cosby Show'. He was asphyxiated and he drowned. It's sad because he's no longer around. He was a very talented man and that's certainly true. He starred on 'The Cosby Show' from 1984 until 1992. Malcolm had skill and charisma and it definitely showed. When he starred in 'Listen Up', he starred in all 22 episodes. People are sad because he's no longer here. Sadly, he lost his life after living for 54 years.
