I love her {The Acceptance)

More than a stone I never had.

If she aint mine than it's my bad.

I'm Trippin! Sad! For no fuckin reason

Girls on IG talking bout is cuffin season

Not this way cause I got love for her year round

This shit real to me like the attention

Ya need for this life to be real to YOU.

I knew this was real when I started thinking bout her and havin regrets.

Something that's rare and unacceptable.

Outspoken type guy I say how I feel when I feel.

Why am I feelin sum type of way?

Love her so much that I call her sometimes to wish her good things bout her life Reckless advice on this crazy life.

But than I'm like WTF!!!

Feeling like a sucka for this love I'm trying to deny.

Homeboy's clowning when I bring her up out of nowhere in our convos

Bout Sports and Bullshit.

All type of names lol " Man U soft" "loverboy" "weak" smh.

I always give em this answer "Yo she Special son" or "She different".

Sometimes "Man fuck her!"

Str8 up sometimes I hate her so much it's like she an Enemy.

But than I still end the convo saying the good things bout her.

More of how she a Virgin and how much I admire that.

Mostly cause this fucked up generation were all apart of.

I applaud women of her kind.

Woke up one day feeling as if I'm not man enough to tell how I really feel bout Shortie, so I called her (background noise 2 loud) So we begin to text.....

Feeling relieved with no regrets

After that, came to a conclusion to move on with my life.

To move on never speak to her again.

Which would mean I ruined everything we had built.

Friendship.. Love.. Care.. & Also a good 4yr relationship that's rare in these times. I Clown her a lot but that's cause I care for her.

For those that's wondering if I'm a clown or not?

Just know that I got love for YOU!

Always kept it real."Yo I'm ma broke ass college boy

Prolly wont buy you shit but just know

I'm gon give you Respect like you one of a kind &

Make you laugh ya ass off like I'm Kevin Hart..

What more you want???

That's it I'm done! Wether the love u claim is real or not.

I don't want a response.

I wrote this shit to accept the love I got for you is real

Also a response to the people that quoted

"Whenever You Tell a GIRL How You Feel They Get The Upper Hand" 💛

The Elephant in the Room

The Elephant in the Room

These days, it seems to be one of the trending topics to talk about Islam and not in a good way. It seems like the entire religion is an endangered one. It’s important and our global citizenly-duty to talk about the elephant in the room: why is Islam such a targeted religion?

Before diving into answering this question, I almost feel obligated to set down a strong foundation that this may seem biased. As a Muslim myself, I am more in favor of showing you the positive side of Islam. Although this would imply that there is a dark side, I’ll leave that up to you to decide upon finishing this article. If you are strictly adhered to the belief that Islam is an evil religion and all of its followers are equally evil, it would not do you any justice to continue reading. Continuing to read this piece calls for an open and learning mind, as well as one that is willing to argue and support opposing viewpoints.

Did you know that Islam means submission? Why does this matter? Well, simply put, Islam is a religion about peace and Allah. Before you run, Allah is the Arabic name for “God.” Islam advocates for peace, tolerance and self-accountability. Although they are all important, I will focus on the topic of self-accountability for the sake of time. In Islam, it is a fundamental belief that no man should bear the burden of sin for another man—in short, to each his own. As individual Muslims, each person is responsible for his/her own actions and it is between themselves and Allah to tackle issues of sin, repentance, and forgiveness. With that said, it is a flawed and skewed viewpoint to blame an entire religion and its people for the actions of a handful.

In the media, it seems to be a popular trend to highlight the radical acts of certain organizations, such as Boco Haram, Hezbollah, and the infamous, al-Qaeda. These organizations wrongfully use Islam as a shield and justification for their acts of “terror.” As a result, society uses its misconceptions, stereotypes and ignorance of Islam as a reason for judging about 2 billion people worldwide. Logically speaking, is it safe to say that the actions of a few individuals or a small organization are representative for the entire Islamic population? As an educated people, we should know better. Believing that would be the equivalent of saying that the Westboro Baptist Church is an accurate representation of all Christians around the world. If that didn’t strike a nerve, maybe their website “GodHatesFags.com” can put things in perspective. No two individuals are the same, moreover 2 billion people. The truth of the matter is that it is unfair to blame Islam for terrorism. It is equally unfair for the perpetrators of terror to use Islam as a justification.

What it boils down to is simply this: everyone is entitled to their own opinion. That is a fundamental right as human beings. The problem arises when that opinion and its expression of it jeopardizes the reputation of a religion that has been around for 1,438 years. Shahada( faith) Salah (Prayer), Zakat (Almsgiving), Hajj (Pilgrimage to Mecca), and Ramadan (Fasting)—these are the things that Islam believes in. Not bombs, blood, pain, or TERROR. It’s time we do our research and make our own decisions instead of relying on mainstream media to capture, censor and then display its own image of Islam and Muslims.

If by the time you reach this part of the paper I’ve inspired you to re-think and doubt every bit of new you hear, I have completed my mission. If I have wasted your time because you still see the world the exact same way as before reading this, I’ve failed. If terms like Boco Haram, Westboro Baptist Church and Hezbollah sound foreign to you, you have a lot of research to do. If Shahada and Zakat don’t seem familiar, then you need to learn more about Islam before you come up with judgments. But above all, if you are a citizen of this world, you owe it to yourself to be informed. Whether it’s about Islam, terrorism, or the media’s influence on our every-day patterns, all it takes is a discussion, some research or simply stepping out of your comfort zone to ask questions. There is no greater form of ignorance than denying something you know nothing about.

Lost in a stranger's Soul

2012-01-20T14:30:00.000-08:00

Money Money Money

The root of all evil

Once said...

maybe cause it caused millions of death

Ask all them people

in the day of Judgement how much more money will they get =

I sit back nd let go of all this stress

Thinking that to be happy I gotta take one's life away

Guess im losing my mind 2day

A man once said

"Live your life nd don't worry bout others".

Guess im in trouble

Those words came from our dear father

But again killin human beings for a piece of green change

Shouldn't I be bothered?

Imma lost man , in a wild jungle

where the good one's turn into bad

nd the bad turn into ugly

Every where I go people mug me

last nite a dear bruvo tried to cut me

But what happen to this thing called Love B

where people give hugs

nd don't think nd fear anyone but the man above

Im in a generation with lost bodies nd souls

But I remember being told

Grow up nd be something

But was never told

Tomorrow can be your last So take advantage of the GOLD……

Letter 2 the people

2012-01-08T18:26:00.000-08:00

People People

All sizes nd colors

Wether black or colored

I wanna do some 2 be remembered

Should I raised my hand high nd salut MLK

OR should I stand up nd salut the great Malcom X

Cause 2 me kings shouldn't be honored

The people that fought for the people

Were the one's that was getting bothered

To some people History is Laughter

Where they stand up nd toast drinks and name our father

Man i feel bothered

Living in a world with no Honor

People walking around acting like god father

Man im bothered…

Living in a world where

people love people that was never slaughtered

people love places that was never thought of

People value statues more than they own Mother

I look up 2 scarface nd the god father

Does that make me a Rapper?

No that makes me a very dumb Bruvo…

I don't remember Al Pacino

Fighting back in the 50's

But I do remember Our Grandfathers

Fighting for us 2 live free

So my dear bruvo

Do me a favor

Pass these words 2 my little bruvo….

NOTE****

Stop worshiping idols and worship yourself at least.

They are just human, Just like you and I...

Prejudice Acts

2012-01-05T13:51:00.000-08:00

Prejudice!
Why do you hate me?
Do you know me?
Or did you just hear of me?
Live and let me live
You’re the many reasons why I am not at peace
The reason why the war rages on
The reason why my insecurities increase
The reason for all this hatred

If it wasn’t for you
Nine eleven would have never happened
The Holocaust would have never existed
The genocide would never live
And maybe Martin Luther King would still live
Do you understand that color only lives in a Crayola Box?

Don’t deny me because I’m different from you
Should I deny you because you’re different from me?
Diversity is what makes us
To deny our difference is to deny life

Lets Not let Prejudice acts ruin our lives or others.
We are all different in a way...

"My Decisions in Life are based on my Goals"

"Completing my goals, depends on my motivation and dedication"

"Motivation and dedication comes from your humbleness"

"Being Humble is based on your past"

Warm Up

2011-11-29T09:20:00.000-08:00

There's two things that I know in Life already
Where I'm From
And
Who I am
Who I be in 2015
Imma leave it to the hands of god
Where I'm going is my destiny
Wether I end up poor or middle class
Than its meant to be

Poor is not an option
So imma have a plan B
Just turned 18
So imma Rookie to Reality...

Appreciation part 1

2011-11-27T16:20:00.000-08:00

Shout out to my black history recepients
We still here
Nd we representing
I bald my fist up
Nd say Thank you

People gotta know
Without no past,There is no future
Cause it wont be some to live for

I'm trying to find a metaphor
That would help me fight through this war
I was whipped two whips
Cuffed with two chains
But still manage to kill em with my brain

Dont have a role model
Cause I am my own leader
But MLK - my brain
Malcolm X-my brave
Ma Tubman -my feet
Aunt Rosa- my seat

Black History Month
I'm proud to be,Who you see!

Proud as if he sat on the President's Chair

You still BLACK just look under the sheets..

Im from 53 countries
where the first man was found
Im from Gold, Diamonds, and other luxuries

Im from a place where Alexanderia the great was crowned
Im from timbactu
Where other races came 2 get knowledge
From african teachers who taught greeks and romans
And the invention of algebra which u people are learning

Im from educated children
Im from a bright generation
Im from true tradition
Im from a beautiful senegalese woman

Im from obama's roots
Im from dark beautiful skin that others tan for

I was once a slave. Who became an educated leader
And now im da president.
Black is beautiful
Im from AFRICA
