Watch out for this hurricane,
My thoughts are a storm,
Completely sane,
Just out of the norm.
You observe with disdain
As my heart’s feelings take form.
Bleed my mind’s stain,
Wear the many roles that I’ve worn.
Don’t come too near,
For you will leave feeling torn,
Think you can? See what I’ve seen
And bear what I’ve borne.
Take a ride down my heart’s stream,
Bare your soul and show the feeling’s I’ve shown.
Don’t fear getting deep,
Get to know what I’ve known,
Scared to expand your heart?
Come grow as I’ve grown,
Afraid to feel?
Come love as I’ve loved and mourne as I’ve mourned.
Take the jewels of my life,
Learn its value and it will be something you’ll truly adorn.
Learn me.

Woke up today,
My mind has gotten weary,
My mood is dark and dreary,
Gotta break through these psychological locks,
Gotta step outside of this mind-prison box
Look toward the light,
Gotta end this conscience-fight
This is my Creator’s might,
He put me through this plight,
Shaitan’s blurryin my sight,
Been thinking with my left, needto start things with my right,
Take my love for Allah to a new height,
My relationship with Him needsto be tight…
My heart’s lookin towards heaven for a flight,
To help me feel some ease….

Wantin to escape, but I gotta stay,
Everyone’s lost and hopeless, but I know there’s a way,
Remindin myself tomorrow’s a new day,
Gotta repent before my body has to lay,
Unlock my heart’s doors, it has so much to say,
When the devil’s knockin, i gotta say nay,
The price is TOO big to pay,
Rollin up my sleeves, preparing for the battle,
Gonna face for the come of what may…

Rain to wash away the world's pain...

Raindrops patterin on my window…
Clouds hoverin over the trees,
The weather’s tryin to make me let go,
The breeze is urging me to put my mind at ease…

The rain is making love to the earth,
Kissing it upon contact,
This starts the process of the flowers birth,
This ain’t just a process, it’s how a lover reacts…

Soul-disease…
Lyin, cheatin, the world’s filled with soul-disease,
We’re turning a blind eye and coverin our ears
From the helpless ones pleas,
Worryin about petty matters,
Chasin after this life, only a mere tease,
Gotta look at the world through my third-eye,
See what the enlightened sees,
Tryin to aim high,
The world is for me to seize.
Everyday, finding clearer answers for “Who am I?”
Making love with the world spiritually, putting my aching heart at ease…
Gotta make peace with humanity, the least I can do is try,
Keep movin forward, together my heart has become pieced,
No longer wondering why,
Struggling, sometimes failing, but trying to do what keeps myself and my Creator pleased…..

typed thoughts....

Voices, voices, sittin amongst the crowd....
different faces, different features, different races,
so many noises, yet its all drowned out by my thoughts, so loud
everyone's sharin a piece of their life, through some way shape or form...
whether its with company, through writing, or with themselves....
pumpin my mind with music, talking, phone's beeping, dishes clanking..
so many emotions, all contained in one room....
physically exhausted, mind's fully awake...
or is it the other way around?
don't even know right now
gotta clear my mind, tryina figure out how...
the room contains all these different emotions, all in one space,
but the same goes for my mind, though I won't show it on my face...
can't complain though,
it's all love... :)
they say a still mind is the devil's playground anyway...
always excited, lookin forward to the next day...

sitting across from paintings of the dalai lama, ghandi, martin luther king, che guevara...
i wonder how many people pass by here and don't even pay attention to those paintings...
and if they do notice it, does it move them in any way?
does it make them think?
do they reflect upon themselves at all?
what comes into their mind when they see these figures?...these freedom fighters...?
do they ask themselves what they are doing?
do they ask if they know enough about these people?
how can you see stuff in the world, see anything about a positive figure,
and not do any self-reflection?
hopefully everyone walks out and takes a piece of this with them home
as ghandi said, ''we must be the change we wish to see in the world''....
i am just blabbing now, but i have to keep typing
my fingers won't stop,
feels like it's on fire,
must
keep
typing....

so i'm here listening to the obama/clinton speech...
hillary's talking about ''no child left behind''.....
NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND?
what is she talking about?
i highly doubt that is a main priority for her...
no child left behind...
when will we have a goal towards ''no child left behind'' for the world...?
there are a lot of children left behind...
even the ones that live in a mansion, where their parents don't give a damn...
but atleast they have some shelter and food, not to say its okay,
but its far better than what the kids go through in third-world countries....
like the invisible children (http://www.invisiblechildren.com/)
those kids...the ugandans...the afghans...the iraqis...the columbians...the indians...the palestinians...
i can go on forever....
so, for whoever is reading this...
just think about it when you go to sleep at night
in your comfortable warm bed, in your cozy home,
with your full, satisfied stomachs...
with the food that you threw away in the trash...
with your wallet full of cash...
just imagine what it would be like if you were sleeping on the cold hard ground...
with your stomach caving in...starving...hunger pains leavin you numb...
tired of looking in the trash for food, cuz there's nothing there...the other kids have looked through it already...
and ask yourself,
what can you do to help the world?......
i leave you with this...
peace...
-M.N.

Martin Luther King quotes...

An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.

At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the

darkness of destructive selfishness.

Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.

I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend

Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

Lost Ones Lyrics

Real flowers fake love…

He gave her real flowers,
He said her beauty was like art,
He said their love would go beyond all powers,
He said they would never be apart,
He’d stare at her for hours,
Said her eyes were the darts to his heart…
He gave her real flowers
And fake love…

She wished the flowers were fake,
And the love was real…
He was all she wanted to take,
The flowers had no appeal…
She thought their future was for them to make,
She bargained love with God and made a deal,
She put everything she had at stake
She let him spin her heart’s wheel…
Did he gain pleasure in making her heart ache,
Was his heart made of steel?
Did he like seeing her tremble and shake,
Cuz she was guilty of knowing how to feel?
She has to learn to wake
And take back her dreams that he’d steal,
She cries and wishes…
If only the flowers were fake,
And his love,.. for real…

Love....?

Love,
Sayin it
And meanin it
Are 2 different things…

It can be said,
Grown,
Made,
Shown,
Played,
Known,
Sang,
Thrown-away,
And more…

Yet meaning it is on another level…

Mystery of Inequity..L.Hill

It's the mystery of Inequity...

Said it's the misery of Inequity...

Said it's the history of Inequity...

When it all...All falls down...

Telling you all...

It all falls down

Yo!

Ya'll can't handle the truth in a courtroom of lies

Perjures the jurors

Witness despised

Crooked lawyers

False Indictments publicized

Its entertainment...the arraignments

The subpoenas

High profile gladiators in bloodthirsty arenas

Enter the Dragon

Black-robe crooked-balance

Souls bought and sold and paroled for thirty talents

Court reporter catch the surface on the paper

File it in the system not acknowledged by the Maker

Swearing by the bible blatantly blasphemous

Publicly perpetrating that "In God We Trust"

Cross-examined by a master manipulator

The faster intimidator

Receiving the judge's favor

Deceiving sabers doing injury to they neighbors

For status, gratis, apparatus and legal waivers

See the bailiff

Representing security

Holding the word of God soliciting perjury

The prosecution

Political prostitution

The more money you pay.. the further away solution

Legal actors

Babylon's benefactors

Masquerading as the agency for the clients

Hypocritical giants

Morally non-compliant

Orally armed to do bodily harm

Polluted, recruited and suited judicial charm

And the defense isn't making any sense

Faking the confidence of escaping the consequence

That a defendant is depending on the system

Totally void of judgment purposely made to twist em'

Emotional victim blackmailed by the henchmen

Framed by intentions

Inventions whereby they lynch men

Enter the false witness slandering the accused

Planting the seed openly showing he's being used

To discredit, edit, headed for the alleged

Smearing the individual fearing the unsuspected

Expert witness (the paid authority)

Made a priority to deceive the majority

Of disinterested peers

Dodging duty for years

Hating the process waiting to be returning to their careers

Do we expect the system made for the elect

To possibly judge correct?

Properly serve and protect?

Materially corrupt

Spiritually amuck

Oblivious to the cause

Prosperously bankrupt

Blind leading the blind

Guilty never defined

Filthy as swine

A generation purin it's own mind

Legal extortion

Blown out of proportion

In vein deceit

The truth is obsolete

Only two positions:Victimizer or Victim

Both end up in destruction trusting this crooked system

Mafia with diplomas keeping us in a coma trying to own a piece

of the "American Corona"

The Revolving Door

Insanity every floor

Skyscraping, paper chasing

What are we working for?

Empty traditions

Reaching social positions

Teaching ambition to support the family superstition?

When the Son of Podition is Commander in Chief

The standard is Thief

Brethren can we candidly speak?

Woe to the men

Trusted in the chariots dem'

Leaning on horses

They run their intellectual sources

Counterfeit wisdom creating the illusion of freedom

Confusion consumes them

Every word they speak it turns them out really white

Internally they absent of light

trapped in the night and bonded to the Cain of the night

Under the curse

Evil men waxing more worse

Faxing the first

Angelic being cast to the earth

It's time for rebirth

Burnin up the branch and the root

The empty pursuits of every tree bearing the wrong fruit

Turning me ill

Let him who stole, no longer steal

Oh it's real

Surrender for Jehovah is real

How long will you sleep

Troubled by the thoughts that YOU keep

The idols YOU heap

Causing the destruction you reap

Judgment has come

Find it and return to the One

Abandon the flesh

Self-interest: Broadway to death

Pride and the Greed

Hide and subdividing the seed

The knowledge of Good and Evil is what caused us to lie

Caused us to die

Let your emotions be crucified

Renounce all your thoughts

Repent and let your mind be re-taught

You'll find what you sought...was based on the deception you bought

A perception of naught

Where the majority remains caught

Loving a lie

Not realizing in Adam, all die

Loving a lie

Not realizing in Adam, all die

Ex-Factor

It could all be so simple
But you'd rather make it hard
Loving you is like a battle
And we both end up with scars
Tell me, who I have to be
To get some reciprocity
No one loves you more than me
And no one ever will

Is this just a silly game
That forces you to act this way?
Forces you to scream my name
Then pretend that you can't stay

Tell me, who I have to be
To get some reciprocity
No one loves you more than me
And no one ever will

No matter how I think we grow
You always seem to let me know
It ain't workin', It ain't workin'
And when I try to walk away
You'd hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy.............This is crazy

I keep letting you back in
How can I explain myself
As painful as this thing has been
I just can't be with no one else
See I know what we got to do
You let go and I'll let go too'
Cause no one's hurt me more than you
And no one ever will

Care for me, care for me
I know you care for me
There for me, there for me
Said you'd be there for me
Cry for me, cry for me
You said you'd die for me
Give to me, give to me
Why won't you live for me

Where were you,....when I needed you?....

World Peace....
