The waters of the deep
fill my lungs-
consciousness almost gone.
The beast comes,
charging towards me.
Hands chained
feet chained.
I look as he draws closer-
evil joy in his eyes;
"Fuck You," I say.
I know I'm here for my sins
and I repented.
So do your worst.
I close my eyes
only to open them again,
because of His mercy,
which is shed upon me abundantly.
Luke 23:39,40,41,42,43
"...today shalt thou be with me in paradise."
2017 coming
I'm waiting on my King
who redeemed me
and will rescue me from the land of my captivity.
I know whose I am-
I am a child of God, Most High.
Shalam,
Zarach
The Israelite Abiding Movement has three objectives for the purpose of building up God's Holy People: 1. To lift up the Father and Jesus Christ, the Lord. 2. To Teach the Truth of God's Holy Word- the Bible 3. To gather the Flock or people of God together unto the Day of Christ-the Last Judgment.

Vision from the Past part 1
Eyes wide open
Looking up to heaven
Blue for miles
quite and calm.
But on this ship
only oppression
torture, pain,
horror, the sting of the whip
At the hands of the Devil
chained, helpless
made to witness evil
So inhumane, so in-human;
not of men, but of beast.
She cries out
because she had dignity
not willing to give up her honor.
Eyes look up to heaven
"mercy, oh God. Look and see
to whom you are doing this"
A captive with miles of
blue ocean all around.
Monsters swim by and wait.
I stand, chains on my hands
and around my ankles.
The noise of her screams, sickening.
Into the bottomless ocean I go-
Make it end now- take away this pain
In the jaws of your beast.

Israelite Awakening
I was traveling on the
road I thought was best
I believed I was doing
your work, O Lord.
But now I realize
that your wisdom far
exceeds my understanding( Prov. 21:30)
and what I thought I knew
I didn't know( 1 Cor. 8:2)
So, I give you
what has always been yours-
this life ( Ezekiel 18:4, John
17:6,7,8,9,10)
and ask only
for your divine guidance(Ps. 31:3)
on the road ahead,
the journey set before me.
I dedicate this love
contained in this vessel
to the cause You have called me on(
Luke 23:46, Ps. 31:5)
My father in heaven

From Revolution to Practical Wisdom
You stood up
when we needed a hero most
when our hope was broken
You said loud and proudly:
“Unlock all your God given
potential.”
“Stop being afraid, begin to think as
a collective body.”
“When you begin to speak their
language
they will stop their brutality. You
can't speak
peace, when a man knows only the
language of
war- Well good night.”
You were gallant, dashing, our manhood.
We woke up the next day
with a purpose and a rhythm
in our steps.
It wasn't because of Islam,
though you often said that
was my religion.
It wasn't because you
were the angriest brother out there
because of oppression.
No, we looked up to you
because you Cared-
genuinely cared about us;
our families, our communities,
our churches, our standing
in the land of our captivity.
You cared about our survival.
And we felt that.
So, you were very dangerous
to the machine,
an anomaly
that can cause the whole system to
crash.
So they sent in their technicians
to fix the problem;
So the machine would continue
to work as planned-
“ If the Negro returns to his origin,
if he finds out who, and what he is,
then our enterprise will not be a
success. Therefore, we must suppress
anything or person who attempts to
wake up this old lion.”
However, the stage is set
and hearts are in motion
and the minds of the thoughtful-
them who cry and sigh
for all the abominations committed
in the midst of Jerusalem, was opened.
Shalam,
Zarach
Brothers and Sisters
Brothers and Sisters
we have a journey
to carry on,
one we've walked thus far.
Look behind you
at the many 10,000s gone,
those of bygone ages.
There you will find
tales of heroes and saints,
men and women,
who were giants,
and still are;
for their memory will not fade
nor be blotted out
from our collective memory.
They are not celebrities or famous
men or women of a bygone era.
But they are apart of our legacy,
our collective memory,
our spiritual DNA.
A source we can reach back into
and reflect on
to derive the faith we will need
to face today;
guides for our journey,
lights we can look to
to find our way home
to Zion,
where the greatest of all
lights sit enthrone :
Christ, the Lord;
the author and finisher
of our faith.
Shalam,
Zarach
