A lot of people, ministers, and friends have been in my inbox with their outcry about Sharia Law.

It’s America’s laws that are…

  1. Cutting healthcare
  2. Slicing DEI programs
  3. Refusing to promote qualified Blacks in the military.
  4. Redistricting to strip representation
  5. Writing policies that limit college loans
  6. Slicing social security
  7. Putting service members in harm’s way for ego
  8. Stopped cyber defense against Russia by transferring it to a less offensive department
  9. Singing the praises of North Korea and cutting training operations with a 50+ year ally
  10. Celebrated a submarine attack on an unarmed Iranian warship that was training with India.
  11. Banning books that teach the true history of our beloved country, good, bad, ugly, and beautiful.
  12. Continue to refuse veterans proper services or put in the effort necessary for the VA to build a more secure platform after two major cybersecurity breaches spanning 20 years.

This list could go on and on.

I find it strange how easy it is to criticize other beliefs, and I am speaking from the lens of an ordained Christian minister. I spend my time teaching the Word and sharing the Gospel with a lens of my relationship with Yeshua. I have never seen more anti-Christian behavior from a nation of “Christians” than I have in this age.

We have perfected judging, not loving. And I can’t say there are times when I don’t fall into this category.

What we are witnessing today is about nationalism, not Christianity. We kick out strangers, we kill strangers, we protect pedophiles, we prosper the rich, and we blame the poor for their own conditions. Many don’t realize that we are a cancer away, or a diagnosis away from poverty.

Sharia Law is controversial in a Western society, and maybe it should be. However, as long as Americans are suffering greatly under a demagogue, it would appear that Sharia law isn’t being implemented by Muslims, but by the Republican Party under a godless administration, operating fully with the large support of Christian Pastors.

Without love….. we are nothing!

A Moment of Transparency

My relationship with my mom is complicated, intricate, and I still show up when I am able. I don’t spend a lot of time talking about others household because my

College Bound

Empty Nest

Your mom called your name at home
Expecting you to reply
Forgetting that which came from her womb was away
I almost asked her when you were coming home
I caught myself daydreaming
A mirage of your essence lingers

Dad

Life came out today
In the worst way
Voice raised, daughter crying
Wife pleading
No heeding to anyone

Hit 100, wreckless, gone
Chest burning, on fire
Called by homie, got corrected
Sent text, got prayer

Wake Up

Black man, wake up bro I get it. You worked hard. You did you. Became the beast Worked your way …

Ghana Bound

Ghana is my first identity trip of Africa. I look forward to being intimate with Africa. I can’t wait to feel, touch, taste, smell, see, hear, and experience my first voyage home.

Gun Nation

T’s & P’s

My country, where tears flow
Where guns grow with liberty
Of the I sing
Land that your fathers stole
Land that’s not your you hold

Rise Simone, and Rest!

They will burn jerseys, spray a byword on your home
Throw your shoes in a bonfire, call you Benedict Arnold
Threaten your family, say you betrayed them
Don’t sweat them, it’s not your fault
Their lives are incomplete, broken, purposeless

Where Did I Go Wrong?

My son
Where did I go wrong
What song didn’t I sing of love
What gift didn’t I give from the heart
What birthday did I miss
What event didn’t I attend

African history was not a part of my upbringing. I was about survival. No different from any other African child …

Memories

I am a message, a call, a text away! I don’t have all the answers but I do have the resources. You don’t have to live life burdened anymore.

I am awake, again Unable to sleep, restless No words to pray, seeking No thoughts developing, silence Fatigued with energy, …

Spoken Word Legend Blaq Ice

Despite attempts to boycott my shows, by some in the poetry community, they continued to be sold out. I have one philosophy, counter hate with love.
