Nigerian Roots



I came from Him, and where do you think I’m going?

He guided them, for me to see, is how I’m showing.

Brought here to America thru anarchy and deception,

Fighting back over 400 years with nothing as a weapon.

My ancestral bloodline screaming out to all of Nigeria!

Look at cha Brother, trying to do this for all of Africa.

Not just, but here lies the ties that bind the kinship,

We owe us, not just me or you, it’s our relationship.

Our Ummah in India has taken lead and are out front,

Supporting this movement that the west do not want.

This will free the world from the grafting of a tyrant,

Back into the molded Atom, after Adams initial variant.

Thru the middle passage as a Muslim thru and thru,

Taken away, just to reconnect, all the way back to you.

Where am I going? Hopefully after this I’ll go home,

Closely by, seeing Muhammad (saw) near God’s Thrown.

The X-Slave, still in many ways, until chains are released,

Nigeria, India, Mecca nor Madinah will see any peace.

Oppression, Genocide, New Slavery, camps with boots,

Freedom, Justice, and Equality, are My Islamic Roots.

Active Revolutionist from Chicago, by way of New Jersey, Atlanta, Birmingham, and now NOLA; dedicating his life to establish a truly independent economic system for the poor and oppressed peoples of America first. 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…
