    Babylon is fallingSlowly fallingDeath coughingBabylon is falling

    Slowly fallingPrepare the coffin

    All around I hear the greedy cryingLosing money is all they care aboutHardworking people losing their jobsStill they blaspheme the name of GodTime to wake up and learn your lesson

    The rich fools are living in fearDeep down they know judgment is nearThey will answer for their backdoor dealsWhat was done is the dark will be rebealedGet ready here comes Old MessiahHe and Moses will set you all on fire

    Ice fire- coming downIce fire- coming down

    Praise JAH-JAHHe always keeps his wordCant tell I he didnt warn youShould have opened the TorahShould have opened the GospelsShould have opened the QuranMaybe you wouldnt have followed false messiah, false religionWouldnt have crushed the middle classWouldnt have laughed at the homelessNow youre in too deepNo excuse can save you

    Because you hate the JewsI will not have childrenBecause you believe that Jesus was a foolI will not have childrenBecause you want blacks to return to the slave daysI will not have children

    I will sacrifice myself to prevent a future youI will erase our family treeI will end our moment in historySo that the future will be a step closer to being a peaceful place

    The blood that flows within me will flow no moreI hate my distorted parent

    May the Lord understandI will take whatever judgment he prescribes

    Family 8/10/11 6:31 PM

    In order for me to be apart of this family I have to accept the fact that I amalways wrong even when I am right.Even when they put they get mouthy with me I must take it in silenceWhen they make snide remarks I must smile

    When they make digs into me I have to nod in agreementWhen they laugh at my hard earned money I must give it freelyWhen they tell me I deserve to get aids and that the only woman I deserveis a whore, I must not say anything backWhen they tell me they hate me in one breath then in the next want hugsand kisses I must pretend that love is there.I must break my back to make them happyI must sacrifice my own well being for themSo what is the point?If family only means misery then what continue?Every holiday we pretend that everything is all right but we all know its notIts like one sick jokeA joke that no one laughs atIn order to be apart of this family I have to walk on my tippy toesThen this family is not worth it to meThis family has giving me nothing but headachesThis family means nothing to me

    Just a group of people put together by happenstanceI owe nothing to this familyI must walk away from this family and never look backSo that I can have a life of peace I must do away with my brother, myparents, and start a new.I must be freeI must be freeI must be free

    As I visit my friendsI make oblationAs I make my way to workI make oblationAs I garden my flower bedsI make oblationAs I feed my animalsI make oblationAs I go for my midnight walkI make oblationEven in my cherished dreamsI make oblationAnd even as I write these linesI make oblation

    Light the flame of ZoroasterDance naked in a circle chanting the 99 names of AllahBreaking curses under our feetSpeaking blessings with drunken splendor

    Piercing our tongues, tattooing our skinsCreation stepping with every dimensional footFollowing the star of Bethlehem to the messiah withinInvoking our own Mahdi potentialWe hold the inner keys of Noble ScienceWe are on the outskirts of the circled sevenWith chaos we bring forth orderFrom micro nothingness we transform macro galaxiesWe are allAll we areOneMuslim Sons and DaughtersPersians and CeltsHalf-breeds and Originals

    Roma Cares 8/10/11 6:31 PM

    One million Roma murdered by the NazisNo one caresNo one cares

    One million forgotten soulsNo one caresNo one cares

    Theres more history than what they teach in schoolTheres more to current events then what you see on T.V.Dig deep read behind the liesPersecution still existsSlavery still existsOpen your eyes and you will seeWere still far from sweet harmony

    Its easy to look the other wayTake it as just the order of the dayWere would we be if we never questioned authority?You can either follow the government or the All MightyMake a choice

    Dont be afraid to use your voice

    Whole Grain Heart 8/10/11 6:31 PM

    Sing all you angelsSing of Gods gloryPraise H.I.M. night and day

    I find comfort in the bibleReciting lines in my headTurning psalms into mantrasEclipsing the spirit and the physicalMoving in the constant now

    Opium smoke leaves via the window fanYoung black and white whores selling their bodiesNo different than the women you take out to dinner and a movieMoney for sex either way

    Supreme nothingnessNo soundJust empty voidTimelessVacant minds sitting on porchesWaiting for the sun to rise

    I too am a vacant mindSubmerging myself into Gods bosomEmbrace the mystic experienceIgnoring my daily dutiesMy life is the empty voidTruth, life, and light

    Sing all you angelsSing you choir of imperfect saintsSing of Gods eternal gloryPraise H.I.M. night and day
