Eyes, Ears, Heart



The sun, rising from the midst of funnel clouds,
And out of the darkness, from within—
Are you blind to all that makes it loud?
With eyes to see, but nowhere to begin?
Can you see the whispers, when there is no sound…
The thoughts coming down from above the stars?
Could the answer be in your heart, as it pounds?
Shouting in those ears, and having heard from afar?
The feelings of what was felt before you’d know,
How to feel, what to feel, from true emotions.
…while holding you and making your hot blood flow,
From the fast beat of your heart, yes sensations.
Have you seen, or even heard what you still feel?
Is it false, an imagination, or is it real?
Thinking love.…Look back and do remember.
Forget all else, break the pattern, render-
The change has changed, this is Deen,
You do, don’t know me, not at all, still a dream.
But the good, is what I am; it is my poetic art,
What you see with your Eyes, hear with your Ears,
And feel with your wonderful Heart.

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…
