Analysis of HY·POC·RI·SY



Liar, liar, pants on fire, if so, you’re going to hell,
Telling lies for a desire, do you know how I can tell?
See you’ve been here before, an obvious clue,
Plus the fact that your damn foot fits the shoe.
Saying out of your mouth what’s not in your heart,
Eating too much, stomachs full, the shit has to fart?
Justice, Just-us, Just-you, him, her or only just-me,
Jannatul Firdaus or Jahannam, Believer or hypocrisy?
See The Qur’an is clear and Sunnah is Hadiths chart.
Changing it with my hands and my mouth is just a start,
Others see it, witness it, still their existence is a waist,
I’m not a mad-man, insha-Allah, by my Lord’s Grace,
For the sake of The One who Created me I’m inspired,
More Man than the next, who him? he’s just a liar.
Them, they sit at home, there’s no harm, no foul,
…Those believers who stay at home… it’s too late now.
Leaders embracing enemies, no Qur’an or each another?
What happened to wanting the same for your Brother?
Getting away from marriage, same sex, or just a lover?
Then your Islam becomes all new, wrapped up in culture.
Liar, liar, pants on fire, if so, you’re going to hell,
Telling lies for a desire, do you know how I can tell?
See you’ve been here before, an obvious clue,
Plus the fact that your damn foot fits the shoe.

Raheem Muhammad

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…
