As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum wa Rahmatu Allah wa Barakatu

Oh My God! Why did I get robbed???!!!!

iPhone gone.

Wallet, i.d. atm, cash

GONE

I took a major short.

Got GOT!!!

But Allahu Akbar!!!

This is what makes life interesting, right? ^.^

Allah is testing my Iman and I remember a Brother from KAOS, one day, I don’t even know what he was referring to but he was like, “TEST ME!” So, I’m like, yeah!

Challenge accepted.

I should have known it was coming.

EVERY time I move somewhere, this happens.

So, I have my I.D. stored on my email.

That helps. It’s reassuring for me, if no one else.

Being on an island is tricky though.

Especially a colonized island, where the locals look at foreigners suspect.

Even though I feel more strongly for their cause than many of their own.

I love hearing political songs on commercial radio though. Like, “Brown-Skinned Warrior” and “Free the Land.”

Being disconnected from the World Wide Web has caused me to put things in perspective a little. Like I remember a time when I didn’t even want a phone. So, I compromised and got a LapTop with no ISP.

I refuse to get sucked in.

You know this is the change of seasons and I’m doing a lot of studying, watching what’s going on in the world like how the outlawing of abortions has completely eradicated the Black Lives Matter Movement. It’s like none of the murders, George Floyd’s being the most prominent, even happend. (Mispelling intentional. English is redundant)

Politicians haven’t even mentioned it in their platforms, debates, empty promises and rhetoric concerning Black People and Police Brutality is not even an issue anymore.

Worse, WE have forgotten!!!

I have more to write, Beautiful Black People, but I’m still recouping my bearings since I was victimized and will write again as soon as Allah Wills.

Ladies and gents, turn up your sound systems to the sound of Carlos Santana and the G&B, it’s The Product of Ghetto Blues from the Refugee Camp

Oh, Maria, Maria
She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She’s living the life just like a movie star
Oh, Maria, Maria
She fell in love in East L.A.
To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah
Played by Carlos Santana
[Guitar Solo: Carlos Santana]

Stop the looting, stop the shooting
Pick pock’ing on the corner
See as the rich is getting richer
The poor is getting poorer
See me and Maria on the corner
Thinking of ways to make it better
In my mailbox, there’s an eviction letter
Signed by the judge, said see you later

Ahora vengo mama chula, mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula (East Coast)
Ahora vengo mama chula, mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula (West Coast)

Oh, Maria, Maria
She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She’s living the life just like a movie star, oh
Maria, Maria
She fell in love in East L.A
To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah
Played by Carlos Santana
[Guitar Solo: Carlos Santana]

I said a la favela los colores
The streets are getting hotter
There is no water to put out the fire
Ni gota de esperanza
See me and Maria on the corner
Thinking of ways to make it better
Then I looked up in the sky
Hoping of days of paradise

Ahora vengo mama chula, mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula (North side)
Ahora vengo mama chula, mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula (South side)
Ahora vengo mama chula, mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula (Worldwide)
Ahora vengo mama chula, mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula (Open up your eyes)

Maria, you know you’re my lover
When the wind blows, I can feel you
Through the weather and even when we are apart
It feels like we’re together, Maria, yeah

She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She’s living the life just like a movie star
Maria, Maria
Oh, she fell in love in East L.A
To the sounds of the guitar
Played by Carlos Santana

[Guitar Solo: Carlos Santana]

Put ’em up, y’all
Carlos Santana with the Refugee Camp
Wyclef
Jerry Wonda
