In Justice…
In Justice, we are blind
blind to the pigments of skin
blind to the symbols of faith
blind to the colors of flags
seeing only truthInjustice, the opposite is true

The image of the Statue of Liberty in this piece is created using only the Arabic translation of the James Madison quote “If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy. The loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or imagined, from abroad.” The text is written in the Diwani Jali script. Every word in the poem is written exactly once in the body of the statue, and once on her pedestal.

Out of the shadows and into the streets!On March 14 2012, Tania Chairez and Jessica Hyejin Lee, openly undocumented and unafraid mujeres, blocked traffic in an act of civil disobedience in front of ICE headquarters in Philadelphia. They risked deportation to free Miguel, another undocumented youth who has been in ICE detention for more than 8 months, separated from his wife and U.S. citizen son.

Double Dipped…
one time-
in the fertile crescent
where these days
the crescent moon is
the only thing found
resembling a smile
where winds are
architects constructing
great dunes of
determination out
of grains of our
persistence
where God made
a prophet with
His word
Where man made
a profit with
His word
two time-
in the new world
where intellect grew
once, in infinite acres of
pristine consciousness, it
was always harvest season
where the stars came
down to earth to give
lessons on how to shine
even after death
where earth was
broken to make
staircases to heaven
where ruins give
evidence of man
destroying himself

welcome back
i was there
when Autumn arrived
it was mid-October
when i witnessed her persuade
the sun to ease its glare
as she ushered the clouds away
the winds danced
in excitement
tickling trees
their branches swaying,
causing leaves to rustle
in laughter
they continued
their waltz
across the lake
compelling him
to hug the shore tighter
as they too began
their own strut
the birds chimed in
giving voice
to this rhythm

“There should be a drug class, there should be sex education, there should be a class on scams, there should be a class on religious cults, there should be a class on police brutality, there should be a class on Apartheid, there should be a class on racism in America, there should be a class on why people are hungry, but there are not, there are classes on.. gym.”
