The City Named Twice
If I ever leave,
Will I….
Miss the grey skies,
And grey subway cats
The miniature, pregnant dinosaurs in my kitchen,
The 6 plus floors without elevators,
The two year rent increases
And pay cuts and hour decreases.
My B.A. is rubbish?
And the view outside my window is no different,
The Barrios and the ghettos,
Projects and experiments,
The protection of Auxiliary police
Crowded Dunkin donuts with NYPD,
Traffic police meeting their quotas,
The hour waits for the 101 bus,
The arrival of the 103 bus with three 101 buses behind it,
Two hour journeys to go across town,
30 minutes passing within a 5 mile radius,
The hills in the Heights,
The unisex salons on every block,
The hustle and the struggle,
The prices at Eli’s and Citarellas,
The .99 specials at Mc Donald’s,
The billboards of Diddy and Jay
Promoting spirits and clothes in the projects,
Fast cash and bad spending,
No education, no investments,
Flags of pride and lost souls,
False lifestyles, foolish acts,
Temporary trends,
Trying to fit in.
A woman with mighty metro
And her 3 kids all a year apart,
Fatherless babies, runaway girls depart,
The streets are unclean, crack fiends
in and out of reality.
Rush hour with noisy teens,
the homeless along with everyone else, crowded.
Pushing and shoving to get on the 6.
Walking passed the mural with Che,
now with ruined with graffiti
Up the steps into my warm apartment.
A key that works to get inside
Regardless of all the distress,
And constant stress, I realize that,
I’m blessed.
Question # 13

"Question 13 is incorrect she said,
So, I checked, but it wasn't
It stated: Are you an American citizen?
Could I blame her?

Okay,

Revelations for the Nations
"Who will not fear you, Lord, and bring glory to your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed
(Revelation 15:4)
"...Because you were slain,
and with your blood you purchased men for God
from every tribe and language and people and nation.
You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God,
and they will reign on the earth."
(Revelation 5:9-10)
Examining Jay Z's Lyrics
"Empire State Of Mind"
(feat. Alicia Keys)
"Mami took a bus trip, now she got her bust out
Everybody ride her, just like a bus route
Hail Mary to the city, you're a virgin
And Jesus can't save you, life starts when the church end."
There is only one "women" or Babylon, Yeshua may not save.
The Woman and the BeastOne of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters. 2With her the kings of the earth committed adultery and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries."
I don't think this is the woman Jay z was talking about.
And this is why I never owned and never plan to own any of his albums although people will debate what I great rapper his is. I don't feel him, especially when he calls himself J'HOVA. That's a big no-no. He is a Freemason and it's written all over his collective works, illustrations and handshakes. He along with his wife Beyonce', who came out a christian background need prayer.

Forgive them Father A (Lauryn Hill Throwback)
Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us
Although them again we will never, never, never trust
Dem noh know weh dem do, dig out yuh yei while dem sticking like glue,
Fling, skin, grin while dem plotting fah you,
True, Ah Who???
Forgive them father for they know not what they do
Forgive them father for they know not what they do
Beware the false motives of others
Be careful of those who pretend to be brothers
And you never suppose it's those who are closest to you, to you
They say all the right things to gain their position
Then use your kindness as their ammunition
To shoot you down in the name of ambition, they do
Forgive them father for they know not what they do
Forgive them father for they know not what they do
Why every Indian wanna be the chief?
Feed a man 'til he's full and he still want beef
Give me grief, try to tief off my piece
Why for you to increase, I must decrease?
If I treat you kindly does it mean that I'm weak?
You hear me speak and think I won't take it to the streets
I know enough cats that don't turn the other cheek
But I try to keep it civilized like Menelik
And other African czars observing stars with war scars
Get yours in this capitalistic system
So many caught or got bought you can't list them
How you gonna idolize the missing?
To survive is to stay alive in the face of opposition
Even when they comin' gunnin'
I stand position
L's known the mission since conception
Let's free the people from deception
If you looking for the answers
Then you gotta ask the questions
And when I let go, my voice echoes through the ghetto
Sick of men trying to pull strings like Geppetto
Why black people always be the ones to settle
March through these streets like Soweto
Like Cain and Abel, Caesar and Brutus, Jesus and Judas,
Backstabbers do this
Forgive them father for they know not what they do
Forgive them father for they know not what they do
It took me a little while to discover
Wolves in sheep coats who pretend to be lovers
Men who lack conscience will even lie to themselves, to themselves
A friend once said, and I found to be true
That everyday people, they lie to God too
So what makes you think, that they won't lie to you
Forgive them father for they know not what they do
Forgive them, forgive them
Forgive them father for they know not what they do
Forgive them, forgive them
Gwan like dem love while dem rip yuh to shreds,
Trample pon yuh heart and lef yuh fi dead,
Dem a yuh fren who yuh depen pon from way back when,
But if yuh gi dem yuh back den yuh mus meet yuh end,
Dem noh know wey dem do,
Dem no know, dem no know, dem no know,
Dem no know, dem no know wey dem do

Pseudonym
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. PROVERBS 3:5-6
Why did I choose the name Eleven or 11 as my pseudonym?
When I was in High school and heavily involved in occult practices. (some were taught to me some Catholics) I became so obsessed with numbers and numerology, that I use to add everything at all times. I would my social, my birthday etc and they would all add to 11. Even my initial K, is the 11th letter of the alphabet. I thought it was sort of sign of God, that I named myself that. Unfortunately, I was wrong. The number 11 signified the Master Number in both Numerology and Masonic.
.
When I began to read the bible I became convicted of the things I was involved with and eventually left it alone. When I came to know Christ, I continued to use the name Eleven until I began to research biblical numbers (NOT NUMEROLOGY, which is a perversion).
I then realized that the number 11 represented Disorder and Judgment in the bible. Not good.
I then decided to make a new meaning for the name for my new lifestyle and new walk with God. Eleven than became 2 ones.
One on One relationship with Christ.
At that point I was convinced about this meaning but now I try not to use it unless I have to. I will not lead unto my own understanding but HIS.

Math, True, False and Life
I remember learning the logical conjunction table a long time ago with Mr. Ramoo, my 8th grade teacher. Although it might be odd, I always used this to help me with the truth. Weird huh. This is the also the only time I paid attention in class. *There are logical negations, disjunctions, implications, equalities and so on. But this is only for logical conjunctions* These is just my beliefs and opinions. Have fun!
True + True = TrueTrue + False =False
False + True = False
False+ False = False
The Truth will always be the Truth. A Lie if a always a Lie. The truth can never contain a lie and if it does, even if its only a little, its still a lie.
Logical conjunction
Logical conjunction is an operation on two logical values, typically the values of two propositions, that produces a value of true if and only if both of its operands are true.
The truth table for p AND q (also written as p ∧ q, p & q, or p q) is as follows:
p | q | p ∧ q |
---|---|---|
T | T | T |
T | F | F |
F | T | F |
F | F | F |

"Some Of Us Have Angels" - A Nas Throwback
"Some Of Us Have Angels"
[Chorus: Nas (repeat 2X)]
Some of us have angels -- the kingdom, the power Some of us have angels -- the power, the glory Some of us have demons -- greed, and lust Some of us have demons -- lust, temptation
[Nas]
Now this is you, dressed in all black, fatigue hat, ready for combat
A good nigga, you don't leave tracks
A hood nigga wantin G-stacks, do what you gotta do to get that
You feel you need that, where the jooks at?
These are your niggaz, creepin they be leavin niggaz sleep witchu
Loc' style, quiet no smile, it's the official
Sometime they grimy, speakin on they own people
They snake you if they have to, raised tattoos
Now these are your bitches, phonin lonely homey chickens
All the homies stick em, you think you own em man listen
She stab you in your sleep with a knife from out the kitchen
Put a root on you, next week they find you missin
Dead in your Expedition in the forest, fell off the cliff and
tumbled til you blew up, Feds told her and she threw up
Fake b*ches, actresses, wicked witch practices
Two sides of us, negative or positive
[Chorus]
[Nas]
Now this is your mom, your good luck charm
Pushin you to do no wrong, prayin for you that you live long
Nobody kill my baby, but she know her baby crazy
In and out of jail, mom's screamin, "God take me!"
This is your pop, chip off the old block that made him
The man of the house, mom and pops seperatin
Spittin image of a gangster the way pop walked
the way pop talked, got older and you thanked him now
This is your hood, poor folks drugs and robberies
Turnin into the things moms wanted you not to be
Crime followin the wrong dudes who have no values
Life's cheap as the dime in the minds of those around you
This is the test, the stress, the conflict the ups and downs of
n**gaz around you make threats
They tell you keep it gangster, no matter the predicament
Even though your decision won't help you benefit
[Chorus]
[Nas]
Now once again this is you, entertainin your desires
Bitches money and guns, aimin and you fire
Everyday is grief, if it ain't beef, it's feedin your seed
Tryin to eat? You form material needs
The weed make your brain sizzle, a pistol make it cool off
by stickin up niggaz, make them take they jewels off
His reputation is, bigger than his whole life span
He never planned to fail, he just failed to plan
What does it take to realize, Satan's alive, he whispers
And any chance he get, he can take niggaz
He comes in all shapes and sizes, his best disguise is
when he stand beside us, but God is inside us, within me
You are your worst enemy - my mom's words echo in my head
And if I let go I'm dead
He stepped at my door, the ? motivate my spirit
And now the body experience, so now I feel it
Lookin at my blessings, the bullets - that missed me coulda hit me
Them court cases coulda put me in the penitentiary
I never hate, that's just wasted energy
The past is gone, the present's a gift, so what's the mystery?
The future - and time only reveals, what fear is
False expectations, appearin real
We only human, love thy neighbor, so I was told
and I will til permanently, my eyes are closed
[Chorus]
Set Your Eyes to Zion
POD: Greatest Hits-Set Your Eyes To Zion
Back in the day when man he paved the way
Fell in temptation, sin spread through the nation
Lead me salvation, and pierce the palms of holy hands
Who is the son of man? take me to the promised land
Where I and I free, Jah set my mind at ease
I stay cool in the shade even at 96 degrees
You must believe and plant this seed of wisdom
Stick to the track and don't be trapped by Babylon
Chorus:
Set your eyes to Zion
Jah Jah people ride on
Forgive them Lord, for they not know
That what they do, people blame it on you
Can't understand why dem so mad
Dem heart get cold, empty with no soul
I've begun to search of One
Giver of life, I and I recognize
To be with you, forever I'll be with you
In paradise, Zion I set my eyes
Chorus
Tell me Mr. Deadman?
Do you have the answer?
How do you get to Heaven?
Do you have the answer?
Hey Mr. Deadman
I'll tell you if you want to know,
How you can get to Heaven?
Believe in I Jah Jah son
Chorus
חֲנֻכָּהך Hanukkah
Did Christ Celebrate Hanukkah? Yes.
John 10:21-23 Then came the Feast of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter, and (Yeshua)Jesus was in the temple area walking Solomon's porch."
****Feast of Dedication also known as Festival of Lights aka Hanukkah.*****
חֲנֻכָּהך - Hannukah or Chanukah is from the Hebrew meaning "dedication" or "consecration." Hanukkah marks the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem after its desecration by the forces of the King of Syria Antiochus IV Epiphanes and commemorates the "miracle of the container of oil". According to the Old Testement (Talmud), at the re-dedication following the victory of the Maccabees over the Seleucid Empire, there was only enough consecrated olive oil to fuel the eternal flame in the Temple for one day. Miraculously, the oil burned for eight days, which was the length of time it took to press, prepare and consecrate fresh olive oil.

Prophets vs Psychics Are they the same?
A Psychic can be a Prophet who is Misguided by Evil. A prophet receives messages and from and only the Most High to edify the church, the body of Christ. So where do psychic get there messages from? If it isn't from God, It's from Satan. (There is no way of Sugar coating that) A psychic tries to "predict the future" but in actually are misguided by demons and spirits telling the present. How so? Well if you ever encounter or a psychic, you may be suprised by the information they tell you. Usually its your past and present they talk about. You then become so exicted, you don't realize that you already knew these things. More excitedly because it came from a stranger. Others have said that they do tell the future. For example: If I went on a job interview this morning and saw a medium at night, when the medium tell me Im getting hire soon. That employee you spoke to this morning, may have already decided to hire you, without you even knowing. And therefore this interprets as future/fortune telling, but it isnt.
Satan doesn't know the future, and God doesnt want you to worry about it!
Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Luke 12:22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear.
I speak about this not because I read it somewhere but because I lived it and God has taken me out of that foolishness. In the past out of innocence and ignorance I performed face readings, horoscope readings, house cleaning etc. Things I am not proud of but have learned from. These scripture below convicted me of such things.
Leviticus 19:26 "Do not practice divination or sorcery."
Leviticus 19:31"Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God."
Deuteronomy 18:11"... or one who casts a spell, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead."
Isaiah 8:19 When they say to you, "Consult the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and mutter," should not a people consult their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?
Micah 5:12 "(God) I will destroy your witchcraft and you will no longer cast spells."
Remember only God's Holy Spirit will lead you the truth. The devil will only lead you to a mixture of truths and lies.
T+T = T
F+F= F
F+T=F
A prophet who makes profits is a psychic? Perhaps, but most importantly are misguided by wickness.

Bronx Church Burn Down - Hate Crime
NEW YORK - A former Bronx synagogue that was turned into a church was torched by assailants who smeared Satanic graffiti on its walls. Only the hard plastic pulpit survived, the pastor said.
"We have no idea who did this," said the Rev. Raymond Talavera, pastor of the 150-member nondenominational Glory of Christ Church. After stealing $300 from the offering box, "they took the church chairs and made a bonfire with them," he said.
The arsonists painted upside-down crosses and a pentagram - a five-point star surrounded by a "666," which the pastor said were meant to represent Satanic evil.
Elsewhere, they scrawled "Crip Kill" - referring to the name of the street gang, the Crips - and "We hate Jews and Christians."

Denying God?
Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil ):
During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency. Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died .

John Lennon (Singer):
Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said:
"Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that. I am certain. Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, Today we are more famous than Him" (1966).Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.

Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):

Campinas (IN 2005)
In Campinas, Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend.....
The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car:
"My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.."
She responded: "Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside Here.....It's Already Full "
Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died,
the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact.
The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none was broken .

Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist and entertainer) said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written. In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle . --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive .
I dont believe that God cursed or punished these individuals but I do believe that because they rejected God they were no longer under his care, protection and guidance, which results in destruction and ultimately death

The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car:
"My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.."
She responded: "Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside Here.....It's Already Full "
Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died,
the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact.
The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none was broken .

Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist and entertainer) said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written. In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle . --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive .
I dont believe that God cursed or punished these individuals but I do believe that because they rejected God they were no longer under his care, protection and guidance, which results in destruction and ultimately death
Holidays or Holydays?
Does it matter which days we observe?
Well, in my opinion I believe that if you are going to celebrate something, know its roots and history. Don't celebrate what you dont know or think you know for the sake of tradition. The truth and it shall set you free.

During the years of Yeshua's (Jesus)apostles in the first century , the early Christians had no knowlegde of Christmas as we know it. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica states: "the first Christians continued to obesrve the Jewish festivals, through in a new spirit, as commemorations of events which those festivals forshadowed" (Vol 8 p 828)
Jesus Christ was NOT born on December 25. But December 25th can be traced back to Genesis and a man named Nimrod. "Nimrod was a great grandson of Noah. Nimrod was the founder of a great false religious system that began inancient Babylon that has always opposed the truths.
Nimrod married his own mother, whose name was Semiramis and after his death, his so-called mother-wife, Semiramis, propagated the evil doctrine of the survival
of Nimrod as a spirit being. She claimed a full-grown evergreen tree sprang overnight from a dead tree stump, which symbolized the springing forth unto new life
of the dead Nimrod. On each anniversary of his birth, she claimed, Nimrod would visit the evergreen tree and leave gifts upon it. December 25th, was the birthday
of Nimrod. This is the real origin of the Christmas tree."
This world is deceived, just as God prophesied it would be (Rev. 12:9).
What's for Dinner?
Have you ever noticed that Pork, Shrimp, Crab and other tasty stuff you find at Red Lobster or any other favorite resturant are high in fat and cholesterol? Wonder why these foods are bad for our health? Did you notice that the animals I mentioned above are also scavengers. (animals that eat filth in order to clean the eco-system and enviorment)Eating a vulture would be no different from eating these unclean animals.

Peixes, Pássaros, Pessoas e Mariana Aydar
A musa bem a vontade com o público
A doce voz de uma das divas da nova MPB
Sensualmente bela
Na noite do dia 8 de dezembro, o Centro Cultura São Paulo esteve em festa. A presença ilustre da cantora e compositora da novissíma música popular brasileira Mariana Aydar abrilhantou o encerramento do projeto musical ''Pode Apostar''. Com o seu carisma e a sua versatilidade impar, Mariana cantou novos e velhos sucessos levando o público presente ao delírio. Apresentando faixas do seu segundo álbum, Peixes, Pássaros e Pessoas, a intérprete deu um verdadeiro show. As versões de ''Vai Vadiar'' de Zeca Pagodinho e Zé do Caroço de Lecy Brandão são magestosas na voz da musa, sem se falar na batida funk que ela insere em uma das versões de Zé do Caroço, simplesmente primorosa. Com todo esse arsenal musical, Mariana já pode figurar entre as mais promissoras promessas da nova MPB. E, viva a musa!

Across the painting
He sits in his grandmother’s rocking chair,
writing with his left hand, unnaturally,
sitting across a painting of
arms wrestling between the smoke,
bruised hands, bloody hands,
hands that worked all day hands,
hands in fists, fighting through the smog.
Inside a building, with right hands stretched out,
are many men in the big black boots, and hats,
holding big black books,
crowds in rows wait for them,
tired mothers and children, hopeless seniors,
the sick and handicapped hidden inside the dark.
A curious child peeks through a broken window.
Millions of six pointed stars bundled and burn,
book pages and prayers shawls buried 6 feet,
strings of curls lying in a corner,
fathers and husbands outside in lines, duct taped mouths,
while waiting for a signal, staring into the heavens,
their eyes look up, and meet with the little boy
outside sitting the painting, sitting in his grandmother’s rocking chair.

I love football. I love the Giants. I dislike the cowboys. The giants(6-6) beat cowboys (8-4). Sweet victory. Plain and simple. Smile.
America's Divine Image (CALL HELP)
Cruelty is a woman's mink coat,
Abuse has the hands of a rapist,
Lies have the tongue of a counterfeit prophet,
Loneliness is a homeless man surrounded by pigeons.
Hate is the face of a dictator,
Ego enjoys clothing stores with mirrors,
Lust is a billionaire beseeching for more money,
Pity is having to vote between two bad choices.

Mercy, Mercy, Mercy (Poem for Cannonball Adderly)
Is that church folk music?
That sax plays like sin,
Mercy, mercy, mercy.
Thrill
Tempt
Taunt
Tease
That sax sure can please,
Mercy, mercy, mercy.
Forgive
Forget
Repent
Repeat
Lord, is that church folk music?
I am far from my knees,
Mercy, mercy, mercy.

For my Friend Flip
(I Wrote this pretending to be in your shoes.... freestyling on text)
Tested by the fire, surrounded by heat,
pure diamonds manifest, no time to retreat.
It's hard for a soilder, alone like a straw
, but the glory belongs to God's , and so do all of my wars.
I pray that the angels guide me and stay beside me when I am weak,
that they protect me and my family and all of my peeps.
This path is real narrow, walking on dental floss,
asking God why me? trying to figure my flaws.
Trying to seek all my errors, instead of counting my blessings,
I'm only human and wrestling with this flesh thats batteling.
