A Trinity of Trinities
Trapped within an infinity
Of Time, Matter and Space

Displayed

As a world where
Whole lifetimes
Are going to waste
From generation after generation
Placating the day

Yea they, hope and pray
But lack the works
That go
Hand and hand with the Faith

Or they’re stuck
In the hate consumed rat race

Get money
Forget change

Afterall

The Revolutions
The old days
And the good die young
Or at least that’s what they say
But nobody really acts they age

So would you rather be smart, lucky or amazed
Don’t answer that, all three are a cage

While we’re free
Navigating the maze

Divine Insights
Envisioning new ways
To conquer the clay

Or try to save those
Lost in a daze
As right and wrong got lost in the grays

Clock in, get to work, bills to pay
Hoping somehow tomorrow’s blessings
Will heal the hurts of today
Caused by the opened veins of yesterday
That never truly closed, now they strained
The neglected dull ache
Of the left downs, still causing you pain
Relationships tense, self love benched
And all you can say get paid
But this is the life you choose, or rather the one you made

I mean
How much, does your hourglass weigh

Not the atomic mass plus gravity
That’s in the way
Or the rent, phone, car etc
Still to be paid
But what are you doing
To seize the day

As Seasons Change

Throughout Nature’s cycles

A Seeds Growth
To its, fruitions arrival

It’s kinda hard to conceive of the sacred
While you fighting for survival
Forced to smile
And it ain’t all good
But we suffer with style

Till we realize our life
Is more than the guile
Yet I’ve burned so many bridges
Even spiritually I’m a Pyro
But instead of pondering the meaning of life
I tried living for awhile

And I live like failure’s my rival
Then the domesticated went wild

A Great Man
From an indoctrinated child
Learned to think for myself
And my mind, became my aisle
Energy flowing like
The ancient waves of the Nile

That’s Nubian

And the Sacred knew me then
Like the holy presence locked within
The moments of Golden Crowns
And chakra activations

An Ode to the Ancients

With kundalinis standing proud
Synchronized with nature
Where the time is always now

But what if

You were the sand
In an Hourglass
Running an hour past due
And I asked
What’s Quicksand to you

Is it Natural
Is it Divine
Is it Natures way of saying slow down
Or your ass is mine

Is it a misstep
A soul sinking into regret
Like all that good you’ve sowed
But haven’t reaped yet

Or is it you
Trying to reconnect

With the Most High
What’s worth your time

Since passion knows no patience
And the sphere of purpose
Prevents complacence

Can you comprehend
Conjuring the strength
To uplift a Nation

Of different tribes, tongues, and locations
Ancient bloodlines, angelic faces

At war with the enemy
But spiritually untainted

Check the jinns
And teach the truth that’s unchanging

Blessings rooted in the blood
The Family’s Sacred

A TIMELESS

Legacy of relation

Free of betrayal and hatred
With a

Higher consciousness in rotation

Allah is all, no mystification
Messages from God
Tahitian Statements
Check the writing on the wall
You can see what we saying

The High Science of Ascension

True Self Governing
Theocracy
In the making

The Divine undefined creation
Congregating

But many get us mistaken
For an orbit of orphans
With, all for one occupations

Democracy
Mocking our Greatness

They got these young gods
Waiting on Jesus or faithless
Forgotten the Republic
Now they trapped in the Matrix

Leaders screaming organize
Kids screaming save us
Communities, running low on gentlemen
Overdosing on gangstas

I got All my Rights Reserved
They still trying to hang us
Legal system looking like a lynch mob
You have to learn the law to kill Satan

Prisoners of War
Are what you should call Inmates
There’s a New Jim Crow
And this ones in all 50 states

With illegitimate claims

Fraudulent jurisdictions
Administrators full of hate

To leave our communities
Full of pain
This is a war
It’s not a game

And Nobodies blameless
But society
Is starting to look like
A bunch of brainless
Baseheads
College degrees but still don’t know the basics
Like what you believe, you become

Thoughts, Actions, Amen

Boule got these niggas
Chasing the famous
Child support
Paying these hoes to be shameless
While most preachers
And community leaders are agents

Call the paparazzi, you made it
Instagram, instastar, filter and frame it
Hashtag, back back, share and save it

Meanwhile
I heard the attention got you slaving
All that money, no home training
Shiting on everything God created
God Damn you basic

And all the Illuminati talk
Ain’t occultic, it’s blatant
Alchemy or
A boogie man for the braindead

Got the people spooked out
Spiritually fainting
Media something like
Mind control maintenance

Who do you Love
Who do you Fear
Who do you wanna be like
Don’t you wish you were here

Do you see the agenda
Or are you screwed enough for a placenta

They created
Psychological warfare
To keep you in a state of disspire

Worshipping Celebrities

But condemned the Pagans
And the Pages
of

Islam
Voodoo
The Craft
Gnosticism
Freemasonry
Ancient Maps

Reading of the stars
Exploring our hearts
Fighting to be free
Or Mastering our Qi
And everything else
That’ll resurrect
The Spirit, successfully

I’m Teaching Self Mastery 
To those, they wanted to keep sleep

But it’s about time the truth
Stopped hiding from hypocrisy
Elijah like prophecies
Holy Breath, feel the heat

Exhale
If it’s lukewarm you need to leave

I got that, selective speech
Life to us, death to the beast

Look anywhere but a mirror if you seeking deceit
Now are you, truth seeking or sleep
Hold the Z’s

Like,
Why would Allah create man
If all He wanted was sheep

Think

We were designed discrete
With a measure
Of empathy and concrete
Balanced with the will of a GodKing

GODLY

As a man thinks

Now focus on God
Like Allah said embody me

These types of jewels
Weren’t meant for the meek

So be brave
Or be a slave
To the pain
The strain
Everything this world became

The Weight, Just Wait (Lift it Up)

The Alkebulan Pavilion
Provided light for the world

Like if the earth was an oyster
We came from the pearl

Traveled and taught civilizations
Without the Rothschilds or Rascist

Then the envious, envied it
And gave birth to hatred

First catholics then capitalist
Engineering global enslavement
 
And we all fall down
As a demonic, bubonic plague plays out
Separating father from child
With wars, whores, and mounds

Word up, don’t drown
But if the anchors are us, how

Trying to hold it together and hold it down
Without losing ground
Compromising our soul
Or getting lost in the crowd

Eye of the storm

Ball of confusion on the bow
Peace on the port
War on the starboard
Deck made out of discipline
Defending the core

And the burn
Of an urn
Is propelling the stern

Ashes
The ashes
Still present yet past tense

Got the cabin floating on interities absence

And this just might be
The origin
Of Atlas’s accent

We searching for shores

What’s your Nationality
Is you active
Yeah
How old your map is
And are you aware that spiritual revelations
Are the same as shaping magic

The wicth hunts
Missed the mavericks

Connect the dots like dashes
Or lines between stars
Now is that magic
Or just ancient art

No bias to sacred science
But it’s vibrance
Can change your climate
Summit, still shining

A Pearl, turned into a Diamond

That inner lighthouse, can you find it
Without getting blinded
Dig it, like you mining
Then live it, like a commitment
To integrity that’s eternally climbing

Gliding
And all’s well
Like Ida B
Was talking to me
About Fredrick D
And the rest of our peeps
That understood the fight for We
Like, Hariett Tubman
Or Marcus Garvey
King Muhammad III
Or Noble Drew Ali
MLK Jr.
Or El Hajj Malik
El Shabazz
Toussaint Louverture
And all the rest of the Freedom Fighting Class
We’re the ones
That only respect
The Freedom Fighting Flags

And Golden Leb El
Is grinding, till we all prevail
Word is bond, like what you saying
Heaven or hell

Elohim or infidel

You wanna eat, prepare a feast
Or another glass of enfamil

Talents, become skills
Create tools, you can build
For real

I’m Manifesting Blessings
With the strength of a quill
Featherweight like Maat’s scale
Cosmic yet frail

Enough to find the line
Between what’s actual
And the appearance
Of hieroglyphic spirits
The difference
Between the controlled
And the fearless
Measuring and Moving
Within the Infinitance 

To create a better world than degenerates
And pass down something better than
This abomination
Of bullshit
We living in
The sellouts settled with

Perverted religious text
Reality, out of context
Wall St. purchased politics
And all Freedom Fighter 
being colored infamous

While the state ran education
Produced a pipeline to prison
And prolonged infants

I grew up
Blew up the plantation
Everybody aint make it
Going through changes
The life of the courageous
Magis and Mages

Scholar and a Gentleman
Played the cards I was dealt
Say I handled it

Now the axis got a tilt
Free National, because I built

But after the ark
Comes the survivors guilt

Like if Imhotep went from watching the stars
To seeing Africa starve
Due to economics, that have no heart
Usury, indulgences, who knows where to start
Can’t change the past but I can write this part

As my thoughts turn into ink
Words into art

A reflection of life, reviving all we thought we lost
Because after the dark
It’s a decision to live

With The Weight, Just Wait (Lift it Up)

Like a runway
Paved by the runaways
That couldn’t take another day
Of hate

Or being raped
Being slaves
Being caged
Being afflicted or less than
What Allah made

Titanium rhino full of rage
With wings made of blades
Scimitar sharp
Looking for a demon to slay
Call that superfly or you can stay
Everywhere the rich ain’t
Clashing with the bitch made
Like, but what does the religion say
Yeah okay

We
Delegate not debate

Me a Moor
They aint appreciate my love
My truth
Ours, if I’m anything like you
One from two
Same road different shoes
All stars are suns
Different hues
Twilight or high noon
Different rhythm and blues
But it all sounds the same
Through the interlude

That air guitar, looking like a deja vu
But the turbulence a change that tune
Like tap into the Great I Am
And watch what you change into

Something, Cherubim Inspiring
Admiring

This God’s work, we always hiring
Solidarity, go ahead and write’em in
Now we got, caliph co-ops on consignment
Gravity defying

Over a millennium of genocide
They don’t know how we still fighting

The assignment’s
Back to the closed fist of a Titan

Uniting
Internationally organizing
Celestial alignment
Orion
Camelot committed, for life and
Allah, Family, Tribesmen
First line of defense
Against

Anything that threatens our wives and kids

If you trespass, repent
Before, Excalibur is sent
But there’s no remission for some sins
Harming the wrong ones loved ones
A be why you don’t live
That good old
Guns, germs and steel
Red or blue pill
Now we still flying

Escalator
Step up styling
Vertical stabilizing
Thriving
Smiling
Arising

Amidst

Broken homed ghettos
Gang violence
Controlled opposition
And political bias
Went from a change gone come
To Leopards and Lions
In a jungle full of giants
MKUltra’s
And UFO sightings
It’s looking like the fairy tale is dying

But I’m still focused on
Manifesting Heaven with my writing

Scribing
Aspiring
To be nothing less than the finest
Most precious ink pressed in my time and
Eternally shining

So strong
Those long after me
Can look back at me and carry on

Blessed be, the blessing of me
I’m in the zone
Hoping I don’t get flagged
For having faith in my carry on
Tucked away inside my dreams
True beliefs, and book of poems

LYRICAL OUTREACH

Like words
With wings
Made outta soul

Orchestrating an organization
So priceless
It wouldn’t be worth more if it was made out of gold

All this I made out a hand most would fold
Then again my spirits lifted with what most didn’t know
Hence, why I came along
And my chair became a throne
But they lied if they said I came alone

That’s a pitch, lift, drag and roll
Cockpits outta control
Nowhere to go
Nomadic and unknown

Looking at the youth like
I can see your yoke

Eyes on the sparrow

And we all trying to harness hope
But that thick skin, is more than a coat
And I Am, is more than a quote
Ways of life, rays of light, in spite of the cold
And we all just doing our best to cope
To reach that, cruising altitude and float

High above our failures
We are the prevailers
Who’s words carry

The Weight, Just Wait (Lift it Up)

Break or Break out
I’m Free

Skip the Shakedown
I’m Me

In want but not need
On my toes, not knees
Navigating the breeze

Left hand squeeze
Switch gears, then release

Open throttle

On two wheels racing tomorrow
If time is money, they shit is borrowed

Calling in loans
Open escrow
And eat em raw
Like some escargot
That fail into Quicksand
Call that the quickening

I’m from the West
If you’ll know where that is
Or how it was ravaged
By the colonialists and Catholics
Then you can understand how the energy
Among the captives
Was transferred to the earth
Like a desperate seed that gave birth

To me
My Ancestors Wildest Dreams
The rage within the silent screams
Every drop of innocent blood
Or violated treaty
Roaring for the next 7 centuries
They sent for me

Like General Tariq
Or Mansa Musa
The king of kings
Navigating the breeze

Left hand squeeze
Switch gears, then release

Open throttle

Catwalking the machine
Through these hellish paved streets
At war for peace
Searching for a higher form of we
The light, only a 3rd eye can see

Facts
Believe that
Like you blind and it’s black
Or an Almanac
All of that

Unwarranted
New vision after the crash
As past and future clash

With each breath
Each step
Each understanding I overstand into finesse
Smooth but deadly, aiming for success

The Kingdom of the West

Aurora Origins
Al Morocco Born
And to the colonialist I’m foreign
Forging

A New Telado
And Moorish Fortune

Not conceded
I’m important
Don’t believe it
Try to ignore it

While the rest of us move forward
Like intelligence determines your relevance
And we know where we’re going

All in together
Like your favorite family portrait

Or the 3 Bears giving Goldie locks
Her own fucking porage

No racism round here
And nobody starve in this forest

I was an educational outcast
With juvenile delinquent proportions
That’s 12 years at 16
Some obstacles are enormous

Darkness and death
My lower self
I Explored it

Became Moor, then
Anointing pouring
On my soul, pen, sword and
Cup running over the rim
Champion at it again

But once upon a time
I was The Giver
Too dumb to give up

Broken heart all I had
So Darkness, I’d Become

All Alone Screaming All For One

Too Real
To put up a front

I tried to chill
The pains too much

Lost

Not me but the clutch
The breaks, the rush
Now I’m swerving
Trying to sober up

So far gone
I made the ground eat dust

Ashes to ashes
But diamonds don’t rust
In a world you can’t trust
Feel like I’m levitating 
Into a world you can’t touch

Liftoff

Rockets Boosted by lost love
External fuel tank in the bank

Nothing but a moral compass
In the Payload Bay

Trust and believe
We all need our space

Now Truth and Integrity
Is all that’s ahead of me
Lost the rearviews
Full of jealousy
And apparently

This, flight deck
Was always inside of me

Allahu Akbar
Feels right to me

Reconnected
Still Standing
All in

My calling

To stand for truth
In and outside of the booth
The epitome of everything I’ve been through

No Lie
And Still I Rise
Now

Try harboring the abyss
Of all of this
The weight of faith
And missing your kids
While waiting on a day that may not exist
Then get a grip, and Lift It Up

Your Brother in Love and Truth

The Conviction

To speak what I believe
Got me feeling like

The 1st amendment is a felony

Jailing freedom of speech
Mirandized, Full of greed
But everybody gotta eat
And there’s no such thing
As starving a beast

We living in a world of need

Opportunities
Few and far between
Hope getting harder to see
While Beliefs
Skipping stones on dreams
As the Spiritual Realm
Clashes with Reality

The Cosmos are Battling
And it ain’t a baby that’s rattling
Hell getting adamant
Banks went bust
No cashing in

Or cashing out

You either stuck in a drought
Or you drown

Don’t look down

Or you might see
A generation of long shots
With scopes and slingshots
Aiming for a way to make the pain stop
Or at least turn the hate off
Looked in the mirror
It said I fought

I responded with
I fight

Golden in the zone
Kill the lights

We bout to slay some demons
Hi haters guard your life

I got
Plato
In the scope
He dies tonight
My God is My Might

Yeah, I don’t really like clones
And I don’t really write poems

I’m just an Ascendant
With a Nice Flow
Hell and Back
Say I’m Twice Known
The Rose Gold Natural
Instincts factual
Intuition actual
And what some call impossible
Is my casual

This is just how my soul
Talks to me

Legacy
My pen walks with me

What I share with you’ll
Is so you can march with me
Or share a heart with me

In a world where
Words are symphonies
Breathes epiphanies
And our footsteps beat for centuries

Lord
Is anyone listening

Shouting let my people go
As long as we’re living
We’re winning
But this victory lap ain’t finished

So, sale your cloak and get sword
Rumors of war
Fore
God is all
When weapons are holy

Believe me when I say you don’t know me
I ain’t Toby

I’m Rising
Gliding
Grinding

Feel like I’m finding
Hidden Vibrations
And with all my words
All I can say for what I feel is

Kill it

Ignorance needs to die

And that means,
No more touch screen hypnosis
Put your phone down, get focused

All that other shit is bogus
But this rounds the bonus

Insights like oceans
Empathy, can you hold this
Cheers,  here’s hoping
Going Golden
The wrath ain’t folding
And I know that you knowing

Our banking system is a fraud
Our judicial system is a fraud
Political system, fraud

So all day
Everyday
We all getting robbed

Without intelligence and integrity
All liberty is lost

If you a coward,
Here’s your stop

For the rest
It all started with a thought

The shadows on the wall

Could be used to deceive
Trap the mind and make’em sheep
But never let em think
And slaves, can’t read

So those shadows
Became flat screens
Among other things

Like Programing
Industrial complexes and idols
Everywhere you look you being lied to

These are the facts

Or what your opinions
Irrelevance aspires to
The sad but true

Here and now
And nowadays,
most of you’ll just see through

You see,
They had your whole life
Planned for you

From, Prussian schooling
For their hierarchy

To using insecure men
Reinforcing a patriarch
Of blind pride
That’ll put us all in the dark

But I, got a spark

Hair Trigger
Light is the scope
I’m just a prism
In the hands of a cut throat
Named Balance

Welcome to the Challenge

To overcome all obstacles
Until all you know
Is an Essence
That is and isn’t your own
The common sense
Somebody stole
Whitewashed in Rome
Then Crusades

That tried to set the Truth ablaze
But the all consuming fire
Shale ignite their shame

Into Pink Mist

Yeah Rome is burning
And your house might too
But I don’t talk I tattoo

Let me Tat you
With the immortal words of God

I Am

Now be who you are
Now is when you start
And that one shot
A make’em all drop
Fragment
And you can see through the facade
You ever step back and think
What are you being taught

What are you learning
What are we earning

Replacing mothers with a mistress
Raising kids to be midgets
Mini me’s generation
Stunt the growth

Breakaway faith and call it hope
The man made hoax

Just caught one through the throat

Greetings
To Oxford from Toledo

The Federal Reserve
From those never printed on your pasos

The Monuments
From the Geometry that made you

Hello World
It was the Mighty Moors that saved you

And if you, speak now
Only blood comes out

Now watch, as the cave comes down

They’ll say
It was a Revival
Then a Revolution
And only Truth came out
Or karma finally came around

As a Pantheon

Look up to see the path I’m on
The too strong
What went wrong

Is they turned Our Truths
Into Al Andalus

Now we forbidden yet famous
And fake friends and the faceless
Got me fracturing phase

Vencci

Don’t get lost in translation
I’m ambitious and bout my business

Envisioned enrichment
Looking for treasure in the trenches

Conviction on a mission

Your Brother in Love and Truth
Rakeem G. Rivers
The Riverside Alchemist

I’ve been caressed by the flesh,
But I’m still Stone

And I’ve been expressed in these text,
But I’m unknown

What I possess I profess,
Through the lyrics of a poem

And through letterpress I progress,
To an era of my own

I was prepared for this battle,
Now it’s all on me
So if I lose and meet the gravel
Where else could the blame be
See I was born in the shadow
Of those before me
But I learned quick to travel
Or remain for eternity

I’ve witnessed
The fall of a king
And I’ve glimpsed what most would call unseen

Now my words form with a gleam
Cause they glint
With a splint of me

Yes I’ve evolved
But to what degree

I’m still a fraction of what was
And a fraction of what once shall be

A repetition
Of history
Am I destined to this simplicity
Only time will see

I try to control fate
But I think fate controls me
Cause no matter my strength
At times
I still feel weak

Is what I’m trying to grasp that sleek

I think for most
My thoughts are too deep
That’s why they get lost to the beat
Instead of exploring the depths
They get lost to the sea
And instead of a graceful death
They get lost to the beast

Is that a lost for me

Who created all these mysteries
And made I and them interweave
And I find it rather interesting

That with all the knowledge in the world
People still living off they instinct
The righteous and the wicked
Are marching in sync
And those watching won’t blink
Damn I spilled my ink

Need a new quill
That one was getting too bleak
Than again, so many words are cheap
Only expensive when you live them, To Be
And to think

I’m self-taught
I read the Glyphs for me
But experience graduated me
So self-respect a be the class ring
A Moorish Man on a mission
There’s nations afraid of me

Trial by fire
A divine igniter
Feel free to admire
Everything I came to be
After all I overcame to reach

This peak

That’s so high it’s deep
So alive it reeks
And so lethal it reaps
But to each

It’s own

Like to you this is poetry
But to me it’s home
And this honesty is the only time I feel whole

Know what mean

More than words
This is what I do, feel, and believe
All I am
What I breath
What I bring
What I want and need

What a Wonderful Masterpiece

And all life
Is sacred to me

Think different
Please don’t say it to me
Say I got a 7th sense in which you don’t believe
And it’s through an 11th finger in which I bleed
I mean

This ain’t the pen no more
This is me

Bloodstains change to inkblots
What do you see

Nah scratch that
I’m not what I seem
Reflecting lights that can
Never mirror the God in me

God in We
Church, Indeed

Your Brother in Love and Truth
Rakeem G. Rivers
The Riverside Alchemist

I hate my humility

How I, speak soft in hopes that it’ll help you
Listen to the weight of the words I breath

I think

My spirit got lost in search of my poetry
And I can’t be true to you
If I’m not true to me
So truthfully

This facade isn’t me
I curse, I smoke, I drink
I mean

My hearts my only claim to prestige
And I’ve been called everything
From a prophet to a beast
Sad thing, is I’ve been each
Once at least
Believe you me
This well runs deep
But I don’t call myself Golden cause I’m perfect

I do so
Because I can and I’m worth it

The name, it’s intended aim
And it’s purpose

Not to mention
My gold enriched skin
It’s connection to the ancients
Or gold in the Kemetic sense
The Sun and it’s benevolence
Or the fact that, my bodies a golden pyramid

It is what it is, if the shoe fits

You see I’ve come to realize
There difference between
Seeking the truth, and accepting it
Or neglecting it
And I don’t say that
To highlight your negligence
Just to let you know that all my reference
Are eternally relevant
So you can tat that or tell a friend

I’m not your run of the mill
Revolutionary wordsmith

I’m an introverted realist
That was called to the pen
Something like Nas, mixed with Talib
Or Black Thought and Rakim
Blended with the audacity
To call myself a poet

Aced alchemy than became the potion
Hotep

So sick of holding my breath
To avoid the notice of these
New age Pharisees

Trying to find ways to condense my essence into a box

But they can’t confide
What they can’t define
And I
Will not hide
Nor apologize

I’m taking a stand for my integrity

Therefore
I sincerely rebuke your critique
And refuse to be
Anything but me
Politically
Incorrect with intrigue
Infinitely
Opinionated

And many would love
To see me sedated

But my death was deified by my life
By my light
And by my will to let me shine
