Human progress is at a standstill

Every atom in the universe serves a purpose, the life we live seems like it has been designed for us to live in by our creator. We have been given all of the tools necessary for us to survive and even thrive. We have discovered many things since our beginnings and the closer we get to discovering scientifically all of the things that have puzzled us, it seems that we are forgetting the social understanding that we as humans should have of each other. Sacrificing for our fellow human beings is somewhat of an inconvenience and it seems that the human race is really becoming a race. At the end of it all, we all get buried in the same earth and we all face the same judge.


The sun, stars and the moon serve their purpose in the universe as much as you and i do. The question is are we contributing to its progress are are we inching towards its destruction. Technological advances have helped us in our quest to search for answers beyond the stars that we see in our sky. In the discoveries we have to make, we have to also discover deeper understanding of our fellow human beings. There is no progress without social progress. There is no progress if we don't all progress and benefit. The disparity between rich and fed, and poor and hungary is getting larger every year within country's that are developed or developing. At the end, we are going to be asked: what were our deeds, as the balance scale tilts, you can only hope that it tilts to your favor.

No credibility No Degree

I am a Man without a Country, I am the most hospitable bum. No credibility, no degree.
The dirt roads when I was younger raised me. My people... please praise me.
I am a soul that is empty, hollow like the barrel of a gun.
I am filled with so much fire inside, so much beauty truly. On the outside I am dark and coal-like.
I guess you can say I am the Diamond in the rough. I am Patrice, I am Che, I am Martin, I am Malcolm.
I am all that, but I want to be more.
Growing up I wanted to be like Mike,
But since I have grown up I want to be like Sallalaahu-'Alayhi-Wasallim.
I have dreams to reach farther than my dwellings,
Enough to stir a revolution so the silent majority can start rebelling.
Despite all of the bullet shellings, streets filled with bodies smelling,
we have endured and survived our doomed foretelling.
Yes our story is very compelling, but all praise is due to Allah for us excelling.

The recent somaali sex-trafficking allegations

Shame alone is not enough for these criminals, but a harsh punishment so that any future of these kinds of activities are quieted. All the while we must not forget that these individuals have individual stories that have led them to such criminal activity such as this, so we must socially look at this and what really went wrong and how can we steer future children of the world from taking steps like this. All we can do as bystanders is just criticize, but our critique falls into deaf ears because these individuals are lost. Social programs must be created to fight these kind of situations and travesties.

I can write more about this.. but I’ll leave it at that…
