My hijab is a piece of imagination a symbol of Islamic populism, yet I get carried away by racists misjudging my outer belief, only for the sake of white extremists, I cry and wet my birth certificate! why am I a Muslim? Is it my choice? I see a minute third-piece frame down the lane-a sorrow to share, it chokes my individuality- an insult to my devotion for god, for life ; yet, people have the time to call us terrorists when they roam naked, some pretending to be feminists and lovers! Reality is a bitter piece of chocolate melting away as time fades, as it erodes the values we held before, 20th century is still marred by those who wish to keep their history books unfolded, un-kept and unstated; a wish down the memory lane is needed for it will awaken the senses of my fellow brothers and sisters fighting over a shawl covering my head!   I am curious and this curiosity is not a mere joke, its the curiosity weaved into a cloth hiding my sensitive and strong brain from those “all-seeing” eyes around me, pretending to expose my hair as if it was something of utmost importance and value, but friends,  it’s nothing, it’s a trick by those who seek to humiliate me and my faith for god, and I am sure that this will echo for the decades to come, for me, a hijab is – “ a piece of head covering worn by women of the world”; and I am sure that our fight for the right to wear something will reprimand and will be carried out by my fellow successors and those who shed light to our cries and woes in this big world of ours! [AMEN]

Hijab- a symbolisim of devotion #
My hijab is a piece of imagination a symbol of Islamic populism, yet I get carried away by racists misjudging my outer belief, only for the sake of white extremists, I cry and wet my birth certificate! why am I a Muslim? Is it my choice? I see a minute third-piece frame down the lane-a sorrow to share, it chokes my individuality- an insult to my devotion for god, for life ; yet, people have the time to call us terrorists when they roam naked, some pretending to be feminists and lovers!

Oh Darling
So many questions in my head about simple religions are they something God made or just devil envisioned? Its kind a practical but if I ask I'm demon possessed **** let me breathe in this cult I manifest. I'm lead to believe in something I don't understand I ask with such command am I insane because of this. They tell you two things opposite from each other but share the same views like prosperity and salvation. Telling you to not follow Islamic Ramadan, Hinduism caste systems or anything that corrupts the mind. To me its just nothing but simple communism an oxymoron for morons without a way of living. Too many days hoping for a message in a source in a enlightened force instead of letting nature take its course. How many years am I gunna live behind shades Even my shadow gets the most attention. Tired of wishing for the best still the stress keeps consuming success is up a hill a thousand miles away. Only if I had dreams to steal just to **** time A false grind running in circles chasing my own *** well even a dog wouldn't chase after a ***** with a fur collar I'm a dog barking at these strays. No choice no vision just a broken sand clock paused days seems to delay my own knowledge. No oracles its rhetorical trapped inside of Matrix living a basic life Brainwashed by circles of successors. So many serpents biting my flesh in this Garden of Eden Starving and bleeding constantly dreaming when I'm sleep and when I'm sleeping I'm 2 steps behind.

Constructive Criticism
I think it’s important to make peace with your long line of perpetually confused and self-indulgent ancestry once grasping at and fumbling through a life at which they, preceding you, assumed they occupied the centre of and sought to prove this to mostly anyone, with rapacious might and puerile visions of their own success story, which no matter how successful would always only occupy the dark corners of their blood-successors’ historical records of themselves, which is to say you, adding them up with other people who were once important to them and stuffing them into some numerical equation on which they occupy the left, and you the right side of the equal-sign, but all of which exists in the vast and endless vicissitude of spinning void, of which you both (and us all) occupy some cosmic equivalence (and importance) of the universes stray skin-cell, somewhere on the foot perhaps, unconsidered and left alone until we all disappear into the casket of an unrecorded history.

An anecdote on existentialism: Must we take life seriously?
tented World of Bubbles and critters, monkey-wild, the slant- off, the fathoms of a depth, of Worlds whose histories end in a fraction of what nature does do. Amola mola, designator a bulb of light dangling down to the nauticals, the bubble armoured polyps. The lively cesspool of micro-seamounts, where, once there stood strong a sea-green zoo, now vaguely stands a mineral vestige. Gaia shut off the vent everyone goes away. visited by wraiths -- These black lampreys, hooded and veiled, clustering, cloistering, the successors who they and they only the new deepsea robbers. now a lighter sinking feeling, the demigod sinks hitherto like nature does do. a giant ***** whale dies above Casting its shadow of hope and the wraiths appear in the umbra pushing & shoving for a spot food arrives with a thud; a castle of whale bones as their home they were never so happy. so crazily, thoughtlessly food-driven deepsea "things" swish-swash swish-swash goes the weird fish circus, and then, crazily so upon their trophy, the mirror wraiths, of a bubbled World feed in frenzy.

Bubble World
I was once told to edit the world. I grabbed my colored pencils, my childish ideals thinking I could simply, go over the imperfections left by my predecessors. Soon I would come to realize, life is no etchy-sketch. I could shake the world, twist, mold into anything I wanted. It’s still ****** up. I’m still trying to color the problems. I shade the unwanted, masking it over so I can pretend it’s gone. My day dreams continue further as I sketched over past memories, just want to edit the world. But, colored pencils become daggers when in the right hands. I’ve leaped into this idea with no plan, Standard american wisdom. Act first, question later. my first action should have been to ask, is the world a canvas? Maybe it’s a kindergarden sandbox, 5 year old fists and 6 year olds toes smash and pound through. Maybe it’s a thunderstorm because, I was told life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. All I’ve seen is dark clouds and lighting. Maybe the world is me. Poetic angst without fail, too much energy to use, to many words spoken at a rapid pace. Maybe the world is you, you, or you. It’s not just its own story, it’s a combination of auto-biographies still being written. Maybe... Just maybe, we are all editors. The world is constantly being edited, no single person should aim to do it themselves. Our world is force, a group, a team, a family taking the pens from our mothers and fathers, writing our chapters into the guide on how to edit. Sooner rather than later, we’ll pass our pens down to those who will write the chapters we never get to see. Hopefully, 5 year old fists and 6 year old toes become 20 year old champions and 30 year old heroes. We can share our stories, filled with the people we’ll never forget, and the nights, we can’t seem to remember. In the end, editing the world will never finished, it can be forgotten. We hope shedding sun rays on a rainy day, might convince our successors to never forget. Sadly, We can only hope they wish to edit.

Mundane celebrations to mask our ever closing demise Working 9 to 5s, never fully enjoying our limited lives Never knowing which day will be our last So we choose to slave away for a world That we will never fully experience In the hopes our successors will enjoy the fruits of our labor But inevitably enjoy the same propaganda pamphlets that their parents once read And slave for a world, that their successors might enjoy All the while, the reapers scythe sharpens.

*well O... well... O, give me life! i need no beggars of the cyclone to repeat the foundations of seasons and things tectonic! O... well, O! rounded-up by rugby geometrics for an oval symmetry of the orbits... O... might i add - oh? well harp me a sigh with it too - or play me the ******* violins... i too might add my toes in the muddy sands of the Calais of India that's Goa: with toes clenched inward like a grip of a crow, or the antics of a ballerina; indeed Calais, the footnote of the Angevins... tell your integrating dogma to successors of william the conqueror's behaviour, as by-way dehumanising righteously - such the tongue spoken, such the tongue rebelling - via the term identified with utmost against the irish post-stamp claims for a peace treaty: rōnin; no, you be sub-human teaching me the language and then venturing into treating me as a simple cashier - no education system is necessary to craft the near robotic professions! why crave capitalism in the educational system when all might be happier un-educated for the professions the lazy aristocrats intended for them?* i'll march against your little utopia... by god i'll march against your Parisian Disney fairyland with teeth clenched and fingernails bit to a manicure! for the chastity of white lacking colours of a rainbow - since on white an imprint, and on black an absorption to stack-up the many lacks of expression.

Change in legacy. Change in living conditions. Change in action and behavior. Change in habits. Change in mentality and in spirituality. Change in income. Change in social class. Change in education. Change in self. Change in others. Change in opportunity. Change in setting up the next generation to surpass the successors of our own. Change in heart, mind, and soul. Change in health and in wealth. Change in attitude and gratitude. Change in generosity and prosperity. Change in how we treat our neighbor. Change in love. Change in life.

MARCHING ONWARD (PART 2): CHANGE
Solomon tells God not to forget his promises he made to his father, David, of successors and protection. . . . . . . . I wonder what his promises are to me if he has made any at all. But if he has not he has in a million small and large matters protected me except when I didn’t allow him to which is probably most of the time.   Dare I expend the energy to mentally list these matters?   I seem so lazy   when I think of my parents and how they sacrificed their pleasure and comfort for me, when I think of the pain I caused Mom from the first weeks of conception on. Oh how I have taken that love for granted.   How much more so with my Creator.   But truth is, I cannot separate the love of Mamma and Daddy friends who bore my boorishness kin who’ve overlooked me overlooking them I cannot separate these from the fingers of the great sculptor.     (See I Kings 8:25-30)

God's Promises
new words for an old day that’s just begun even I, author of the conundrum above, confused but let us sort it out as we descend into the elixir that is our combo of noises, prejudices, limited vocabularies time noted, not even the nine o’clock mark, so the day qualifies as new, but it’s an aged sun rising, skills displaying, historical precedent, ancient practice, adjusted for atmosphericals the lawn is speckled, mottled, as light ray guns through the defending battalion branches and platoons of leaves facing up, to a certain death later than sooner, no killing fields till September the oak tree generals, wisdomed experiential, prepare plans, take light a prisoner in sufficient quantity to nourish the troops, yet, not too much, for the sun can be fickle, a flame thrower machina all that vision leads me to this pronouncement: *Oh Lord, bountiful be provided, beloved, inscribed, this day, its mega-millennium predecessors and successors gifted precision amounts needed, then, **Cast me gently into morning, For the night has been unkind, Take me to a, a place so holy, That I can wash this from my mind, The memory of choosing not to fight.** Sara Mclachlan “The Answer” 9:18am Thu Jul 9 ‘20

cast new words for an old day that’s just begun...
1. Diaphanous dragons disgorge a deluge of diamonds into the shadowed crevices of cumulus clouds. Ruby-red sapphires overpopulate the glistening sky like carbon-hardened locust: gorgeous messengers of the gods. The Earth wears a crimson helmet, shielded from the odious absence of ozone above the North and South poles. Near Minneapolis, John Berryman's wizened body shatters on the frozen riverbed below the Washington Avenue Bridge. Angels weep to see him jump, as he waves a vaudevillian goodbye. The sapphires blanch, then turn an angry, violent violet. Black holes ahead. 2. Shakespeare and Mr. Bones **** on mortality's skimpy skeleton of life. Will this broken body be resurrected? Does it deserve such distinction? Better yet, does its daring, drunken destroyer? Four hundred Dream Songs nod yes. Berryman toddled ticklishly toward the last traces of transcendence. Love & Fame broadcast how terribly his faith failed to trade daily delirium tremens for the mysterium tremendum. The God he prayed to demanded a syntax pure, plain.and perfect. With jolts of jest, He jimmied paradoxes into koans. Berryman howls for the sound of one diamond scratching the outline of his body on ice. 3. He left a legacy broader than liquor, lechery and the love-struck ladies. Lust seeded his fallow lacunae and lazily broke his wife's heart. Scholarship scooted him to the squeamish, secluded top of his Shakespearean class: Signal student turns trusted teacher. Poetry cloned the Oklahoma clown in him. No successors, no schools, no savvy peers, save Lowell. his fellow manic-depressive. He dreamed songs of hilarity, humility, history, dehumanization. Poetry proved serious business until it learned to laugh at itself. Sapphires crackle under the weight of the creaking sun. They spin a kaleidoscopic rainbow of colors onto Berryman's obituary. Somehow, he has won: An irreplaceable jewel of the sky.

In thousands and thousands of years, our successors, who or whatever they are, won’t just find our bones. They’re going to find our living rooms, our I-pods, coffee mugs, suitcases, post-it notes. The quiet little things that become our lives, and they’ll look at each other, our successors, and they’ll think: ‘how charming…how primitive they lived. This is what they wore on their feet, and this is the thing they used to listen to music with before they had the microchips implanted.” But it makes me think. This is exactly what we say now …about the Greeks, the Mesopotamians, the Incas, Mayas, all the loin-cloth wearers. We talk about them like they were exempt from unremarkable daily existences, that their run-of-the mill equivalences’ to Tuesdays were filled with human sacrifices, complex rituals and **** like that. We never talk about how they must have felt exactly like we do now… We never talk about how they could have easily felt alone in a crowd, or how they could have felt unrequited love. They’re always talked about like they were better or worse than we are. But I think we’re really just exactly the same as them.

Tick tock. Tick tock The clock is never stopping Never slowing Never ceasing Never moving Drip drop. Drip drop Blood is flowing Tears are falling Sweat is dripping Its something horrible that they've done Destroying many Not just one Could they not think? Not see? Never understand? Sitting in a palace so grand Watching the peons scramble about Never even pretending to give **** Now the successors lie to us Try to appeal to the nothing left behind Try to force themselves upon us Can you not see it? Feel it? Know it? Tick tock. Tick tock Goes the last few precious minutes Our only chances at recovery Drip drop. Drip drop The blood is flowing from a pointless war Our lives swiftly following....

Long and Long I waited, endlessly, for you Far and Far I ventured, maddingly, for you To the deepest depths of Styx, I ****** myself for you To the paramount peaks of Blue, I ascended high for you O, my soul! Your radiance bewilders me I sought for you among the trees Dressed in majestic silky fleece I sought for you among the insects Adorned with ornamental trinkets I sought for you among the beasts With your lips purer than priests I sought for you among the runes Hair fragranced by jovial Junes I sought for you among the humans, For You, I searched the frigid south, For You, I searched the turbulent north For You, I searched the scornful west. For You, I searched the pitiful east But with mournful tears, I found you saddened I found you wounded I found you chained I found you condemned I found you abandoned (Your torn fleece Your broken ornaments Your scarred lips Your tousled hair Your teary eyes Sears my heart) Yet your presence soothes your oppressors? Yet your heart trusts their successors? O heinous concubines of pride Why do you strangle my bride? Why persecute my bride?

MY BRIDE
I don't want to think that I'll be a Hemingway, And Wilde was too sharp; Parker loved a new man twice a day, Poe's work was far too dark. Homer never trimmed his hair, Bukowski was drunk as a skunk; Dickinson fancied her self as fair, And Woolf's career just sunk. I dream of being Vonnegut Though Cummings mastered nonsense Though when Dickens lines up to putt, He and Plath couldn't stop at one sentence. Fitzgerald knows the psyche twist Though Freud will never slip; Cobain spent every moment ****** while Courtney Love was on a trip. When I think of my successors (In Hell it must be tight) I know to challenge my oppressors I'll likely have to write.

♛   ♛   ♛ Martin Luther, righteous King, made the Reformation sing. Popes and peasants, out of key turned it into misery. German beer and Roman crimes made for most uncivil times much like our own. We must confess rights and wrongs we yet possess... Half a millennium later on a Baptist pastor and his son took this noble Saxon name and furthered the Reformer's fame. Some revisionists deny St. Martin Luther's role, and try to minimize theology in civil rights chronology. The second Luther of my song inspired—but did not last as long. Social Justice notwithstanding, King's successors need re-branding. Politicians steal his mantle, cloak their lies in his example; agitators claim his glory pushing God out of the story; educators sing his praises but some people's conduct raises doubts about that dream of King— and hope... and change...  and everything.

Martinizing the King
The collapsing sun, of a civilization, once one, engulfs the flame of the modern day mind. Ignorance blinds intelligence, and social stigma, is irrelevant, in a modern day world run by reality TV. Modern day man smears predecessors, but in the end, supports their successors, as long as they continue their reign of ******** Nature suffers from a crippling disease, modern day man, brings her to her knees, and beats her to death while wearing a blindfold. We do all we can, to destroy ourselves. Modern day man, we think all's well.

¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ Our World                                   Is our delicate time and space;           it drains us, yet sews           all its wisdom in lieu.           As an honorable thief,           does it give and it take;           yet, the World, it refuses           to learn or give due.           The World dons scarves           as dark as the night           as to peddle its eye           round a vanity, fair.           These beautiful veils           of deceptive insight           do shamelessly shade           the reality there.           And, so, the World speaks           a fallacious demise,           and helpless are we           but to learn for a season.           So, painfully teething,           oft made is the choice           that's ironically borne           by the curse of it's                               R E A S O N .

Simplicities of Intricacy
¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ Our World                                   Is our delicate time and space;           it drains us, yet sews           all its wisdom in lieu.           As an honorable thief,           does it give and it take;           yet, the World, it refuses           to learn or give due.           The World dons scarves           as dark as the night           as to peddle its eye           round a vanity, fair.           These beautiful veils           of deceptive insight           do shamelessly shade           the reality there.           And, so, the World speaks           a fallacious demise,           and helpless are we           but to learn for a season.           So, painfully teething,           oft made is the choice           that's ironically borne           by the curse of it's                               R E A S O N .

Awe inspired While the whole world was Expecting a Brilliant lady In the white-house, Drawing a blank It witnessed a Clown in a Farce House,where With the rob of Democracy Takes stage Autocracy! If spoken must Be the truth The revolting unfolding Augurs ill to the youth-- The successors, The task forces of A given nation, Who deserves More attention To take the nation To a new height Where it will prove A beacon light! Vampires to Their hearts' delight Hold and chew More than they can bite Blind to others' plight! So we must slam on the face A ****** speech is out of place! "As the saying goes 'Back to square one-- subjugation, segregation ,gender and colour discrimination... devilation-- We shall again be A predator &brutal; nation" "Business has become red hot By fair means or foul Let us get rid of The non-Anglo Saxons Rivals from the melting *** Putting in the dark From where we  ourselves got The *** The bottom line is, Brushing aside Democracy's mockery If preference treatment Is necessary Setting aside (college vote) It is successors' Voice that must get More weight In making a nation great. It is also little The attention of the fickle(with3 wives) For the fair *** This we have to battle.

A White House or A Farce House ?
Isn’t it all games and bets? With my sweet little marionettes Charmingly they fight my wars Dancing to my twiddling force Happily I watch them give in To the daily new laws I spin Dear puppets what choice do you have? But to dodge from the president’s wrath Thus I command you to fight For what should be ours by right Oil, gold, land and power I lust Looting the weak must be shushed To hell you say I should make my way Blaming me for the wars we play Remember it was me who was named To comply the wishes our country claimed Even you’ve got marionettes to your ease Gladly abusing them as you please Power and wealth society craves It’s not just me who misbehaves My successors will replace my place Juggling with morals they will face For the system was painted by society And now it pains our humanity

Marionettes
Optimism The dogma that is oh so self-assured of the contingency proclaiming the prevalence of good over infamy as though it is incontrovertibly concordant with factual certainty 'tis merely a fallacy or an element of a fantasy in which people live in harmony Life But really, in this cruel realm, the mistakes of our forefathers manifest themselves as demons hollering at us to notify us of the need to be better in this endeavour or we'd get slaughtered with the blade of a knife comprised of their defeats altogether forged into a skin piercing crystal reminiscent of their congealed sweat that perspired from the extreme pressure stimulated from bottling up anger and restraining themselves from speaking up against transgressors nevertheless, we make the same mistakes to pass it on to the next generation deeming them the successors of displeasure tolerators Death What are the benefits of labouring through a 9 to 5 job if its eventuality is the same as that of lying on the ground all day? It will all come to a finality the universe is indifferent towards our actuality. It will continue expanding until it reaches the point of totality emotions are nothing but particular sequences of electric pulses in wads of matter, faulty physicality any memory held by any entity will eventually be lost at the end of this simulation played out chronologically

From the cradle to the grave
Read my sole desire, Oh my future children, Burn my pyre when I die, For I don't want to rise again, Rise again when the angels cry, And when they cry the dead rise, Cry they may on the Judgment Day. I don't want to be the walking dead, As a blight may I 'come for earth, Don't get me counted in them, No, I don't wanna be buried, Burn me after my death, Oh my successors, Read my will. As I don't wanna walk again the floor of hatred, And I don't wanna witness again that blood red, As I don't wanna see the sky turning crimson red, And I don't wanna waste some land as my bed, Rather give me an electric funeral, my people, For soon they will run their tanks over my grave, And they might displace it and insult my grace.
