5/21/11 9:09 PM Blow out I feel myself drifting between honey and a bee A sweet sensation of a sting makes me feel alive There is nowhere else Id rather dive Into the endless cloudless sky Lave only my shadow Wish you could be here with me Baking in the sun of a caterpillars eye Not even trying to survive Watermelon River roars in tiger tones Though we both may be drones Doesnt mean we cant have a sabbatical green day No drama no static No high maintenance manic Just a greatly breeze of needles Syrup in a waterfall flowing into paper on rocks Now I must close this book Red, yellow, green, portals I must take a look I just may see you around If you dare to take a tab Relax for witches spell And let the green lady take you away Take you away 7/31/11 9:29:03 AM

5/21/11 9:09 PM Burqa Back Riding on the back of a burqa Soaring to Makka Flying high over Babylon To my freedom As I land seven angels greet me Weigh my soul Righteous I am allowed into the place of Allah Naked women walk around bringing us mead I and the other lovers of the Most High We give thanksgiving sharing the blessings of the universe Sacramental incense fills our senses One as we have always been We twirl round and round Singing songs of redemption and salvation The sun rises Born again we bath in the eternal waters Protected by angels we travel to Zion We travel as we have always done we are the Ben Ishmaels We are the wondering Israelites Bishops with no homeland but the ever-loving presence of Jah On our arrival to the holy place of God seven angels greet us Our souls tested again Righteous we enter Walk to the Eternal Temple The body of the One God Ourselves as well as the prophets Again we dance and sing Drinking mead being filled with the gifts of Yahweh Bathing in the rivers of milk and honey Naked women waiting on us bringing fresh manna The moon rises

We enter the temple and behold the Ark of the Covenant Then we are filled with the Holy Spirit The One voice speaks to us in a language not yet born Or a language long forgotten As the moon reaches its height The northern star shines brighter and we find ourselves back in mekka Around the heart of Abraham we dance We dance for six days On the seventh day three angels come and teach us the true order of the universe Like Enoch we are shown many wonders In a flash I find myself alone Back on the Burqas back Taking the last of my sacrament Soaring high over Babylon Until I am placed back in my exile again Filled with a new spirit I tell others On the street corners of Sloan Telling all about the great Abba Allah Jah Allah Jah Allah Jah Chant the names of the only God and you shall be set free Livicated: Rafelt Pasha 7/31/11 9:29:03 AM

5/21/11 9:09 PM Cipher Zero G Boundless in motion I have no notion Of you now Im free No chains on me Thanks to you She serves my desire Pimple bum wire Just like you She knows her place Locked in my suitcase Used when needed Why are you surprised? A paradox bird fly Whether you wish it to How many others Lay beneath these covers How many will I enter into? Each womb is a Temple That Ill defile This is what heretics do Five pointing fingers Bishops got blisters Now Im on the level of truth I dance with the Moors Smoke weed with the Rastas

Educated by the Biblical Black Hebrews You left the gate open Told me to explore Why dont you like what I have found? So I live like a dog Ten attributes twelve jewels Perfection at its best Life is only a test Pass or fail I dont know Find out one day soon Ill ride the Lion of Judah Straight to Mecca So I can speak with noble Ali and Athyli The moon gently crashes Into the earth Now I have been grafted in I must take my leave Only to return Will you be waiting? Each womb is a Temple How many will I enter into? Each Each Each Each womb womb womb womb is is is is a a a a Temple Temple Temple Temple

Each womb is an earth and I am the moon Each womb is an earth and I am the sun

5/21/11 9:09 PM Climb Climb in a taxi Downtown Boston Take me away Ali Khan Take me to Mecca, Jerusalem, Chicago, Morocco, and Addis Adaba Take me wherever you may I have only myself to leave behind I have only myself to find Only myself to become Who I am no longer exists Who I am is fleeting Who I will become is yet to manifest Take me Patti Smith To old Oklahoma To Detroit Wherever you want to go I have only to learn New experiences to have I have only myself to become 7/31/11 9:29 AM

5/21/11 9:09 PM Double six You are my angel in blue I want to impregnate your soul Youre the reason for my treason The queen of hearts will never understand our safety Cast the swine before Caesar He is only a wife beater Turn away from Medusa TV Before your brain rots into a statue Two become one not with each other We both belong to another Naked strolls for nightmare pleasure At sunrise we must keep our measure If we connect our eyes Turn to salt fire in the skies Foggy mind brings salutations When you cant get any absolutions Tick our time away Coffee stains lead the day Is it wrong to eat our passions? Even though no one is being fooled The bible says its wrong But your moans are the only songs that I want to hear, that fill my ears Youre the reason for my treason Youre the reason for my treason 7/31/11 9:29:03 AM

5/21/11 9:09 PM F.I.N. I found God in the most unlikely place In a sea of blackness Behind the flame of thirty minutes Love is all I feel Love is the only thing thats real Under the fig tree I meditate In the presence of ego I dismantle Pulling the pins out casting them away Reborn I am into the pool of eternal mist The graves are open but Im closed The graves are full but Im empty I am Rael I am Rael Windy motionless kites Proclaim the most insignificant rhymes The truth is plain to see Place the pieces together to know reality The graves are open but Im closed The graves are empty but Im full I am Israel I am Israel Dont lift me up I feel no pain In Gods presence I remain 7/31/11 9:29 AM

5/21/11 9:09 PM Green Fairy She opened up my mind Placed me out of time Spun me on a dime To the other world Im not blind Went down to TTs Felt a cool white breeze Turned Who did I see? It was the green fairy And I went dancing with the green fairy You must pay ten fifty To hold this little beauty Shell take you away from lifes boredom Her inspiration will numb your tongue Theres so much more to life than you were told in school So much living than they want you to do Look beyond peoples faces Visit the in between places Relax feel her embrace Lean in toke and toast Go dancing with the green fairy Green fairy Green fairy Green fairy Livicated: T.T.s bar and grill 7/31/11 9:29:03 AM

5/21/11 9:09 PM Lighter By serving others I will be glorified like a king By having nothing I will have more than my share By being worthless I will become more valuable than gold By staying humble I will placed over the loud What I will be I already am This is the way of our Lord

5/21/11 9:09 PM Lunch Last lunch Tomorrow oblivion Laying on soft breasts Eyes rolling back Chest empty Leaving this shell behind To Zion To Zion To Zion I roll Last lunch Last lunch Tomorrow Manna 7/31/11 9:29 AM

5/21/11 9:09 PM Mike When will you grow up? Join us adults at the table Thirty-five still acting twelve What kind of son did you raise? Your child doesnt even have the same last name as you Youre a fool Your girl is twenty-two Everyone is laughing at you You havent a clue Temper tantrums are not forgivable at your age Bully tactics dont work when no one is afraid People smile to your face just to stab you in the back Even your mother hates you Youre a fool Your girl is twenty-two Everyone is nailing her behind your back You do see what I see Guido Dont you think its time to grow? Dont be afraid to become a man Youll have to do it one day Youll have to do it one day. 7/31/11 9:29 AM

5/21/11 9:09 PM Mokh I find myself at the shore of eternity Over and over again Only to feel less full After I have counted all the stars. 7/31/11 9:29 AM

5/21/11 9:09 PM Never Run Run from the devil They say run from the devil I say no way Run from the devil They say run from the devil They say run from the devil Stand my ground I serve Yahweh I stand my ground with the sword of righteousness Professing Jahs Holy words The scriptures are my shield The blood of Yeshua is my armor The devil breathes his lies upon me Trying to get me to sway My knees will never bend Satans army must move out of my way My wounds cover my body The Almighty heals me When Im out numbered I fight on Knowing that Michael is always by my side Sound the trumpets The buzzing arises from the east There will be victory For the King of Kings Run from the devil They say run from the devil Ill never run from Lucifer Ill meet him head on Ill never run from the devil Ill meet him head on

Smell of marijuana burns Filling the air The sacrament comes from Zion Our Eternal Kingdom To God the victory To God the Glory 7/31/11 9:29 AM

5/21/11 9:09 PM New era A new era A new era We are at the threshold Be ready for the old ways to disappear This era will last a thousand years What we do from this point on will decide by survive or become extinct. 7/31/11 9:29 AM

5/21/11 9:09 PM Pilgrim I am the mover Always in motion My surroundings always a blur A constant stream of images, noises, and faded places I have no home Born a rambler Romany One of the Ben Ishmael tribe Moving, moving, moving We are not meant to rest Why? Did you ask this? You must know The simplicity of it all is as such This world offers nothing We know this rock will never be our home So we must move Always moving Keeping our ways in tacked Never settling for the others Never displacing ourselves We are who we are from birth to death Death brings us home Death gives us rest Death brings us to that place before our birth Until then I must move A constant pilgrim A constant immigrant 7/31/11 9:29 AM

5/21/11 9:09 PM Pray Only in prayer I am free Only in prayer I am one One with Yahweh In prayer I am limitless Praise Jah for the gift of prayer 2. My time here is short I am not yet home A force pulls me to my destination Somewhere far Somewhere near A place I have never been yet remember 3. Mystery of life Gift of life They shatter on the rocks of ages Beat you into submission Then they call you good Demons, devils, possessed they are Only evil would want to break a mans spirit Only evil would thrive in this world. 7/31/11 9:29 AM

5/21/11 9:09 PM Squash Falling out of love is easy to do Its quicker than when you fall in Less painful than I can remember All dreams end and a new one begins Crawl inside a bottle Mind full of memories Of what was, what could have been? Alas will never be Alone I will always be Mentally not exactly physically Alone I will always be Mentally not exactly physically Cold nights grow colder even though youre near Statue movements fill the air Falling out of love is easy to do Quicker than when you fall in Just as painful if I remember All dreams turn into nightmares Cold nights grow colder even though you are near. 7/31/11 9:29 AM

5/21/11 9:09 PM Squid Rainbow Time is a rainbow Clinging to my life All I want to do is let go I cant go on with this show I know Im dying In the American frying pan Nothing The mountain is nothing Dust in the wind Staring into the house of oblivion A symphony plays in submission I know Im dying With Moses over looking Zion I know Im dying In this American exile. 7/31/11 9:29 AM

5/21/11 9:09 PM Syrup Syrup Blue or red it doesnt matter now Im in a different state of mind Sewer system is all clear Doubts are only fears That will try to bring you down Set yourself free from negativity Jump into the light of love Take a beatnik stroll Grow your hair let yourself go This world will do nothing for you So leave it behind far behind Turn off the Menorah in your mind Everyday is Kwanzaa time Only if you want it to be Blue, Red it doesnt matter now Im in a different state of mind 7/31/11 9:29:03 AM

5/21/11 9:09 PM Three oclock dime When I first met you It was like a spring flower blooming in snow Now just the sight of you Brings memories of nails through my feet Turn me on turn me off again Moonlight to black light, black light to white Turn me on turn me off again Moonlight to black light, black light to white Your ounce porcelain skin Is slowly cracking showing off your sins What have you done with your treasures? Did you lose it in the heat of the sun? Turn me on turn me off again Moonlight to black light, black light to white Turn me on turn me off again Moonlight to black light, black light to white Pluto would be nice for a vacation To live there would be too much masturbation Picture Dora in Grey Do you know what Im trying to say? Turn me on turn me off again Moonlight to black light, black light to white Turn me on turn me off again Moonlight to black light, black light to white 7/31/11 9:29:03 AM

5/21/11 9:09 PM Turtle ink I have giving up on dreams They are what they seem Ill dissect reality for a while Just to watch my dog smile Im ganna leave you By the back door of one day Ill never see you Become a bride Sniff a rainbow today Stand in the wind and rain Dont push your troubles away Drowned until you are sane Insignificant is my family tree Chop it down youll find me No two people can carry the same cross Hold each other in a coin toss La, la, land is dead Were just figments in Krishnas head Paradise is non-existence A dog in heat is a coincidence Sniff a rainbow today Youll never be back this way All your life you were lying Everyday you were perfectly dying. 7/31/11 9:29 AM

5/21/11 9:09 PM Vidal Astor Im just an illusion Lost in confusion Slamming against the tidal wave Take a left at the dial Itll be worth while At least thats what they say Lazy day Makes no one feel o.k. Lazy day The best in an uncomfortable way No one hails a taxi Being splashed by the puddles Isnt life this way? When I unwrapped myself On a golden level shelf Crawled into a joint again Save your time in your troubles No one can see the first sway Slamming against the tidal brick Im an illusion Im an illusion Illusion Illusion 7/31/11 9:29 AM

5/21/11 9:09 PM Water I dont know why were together Dancing on a pin and a feather In circles we spin Turn me off Im on again Youre as unfaithful as a fly Slapping shit on your face oh my Yet my heart belongs to you Crucify me its the least you can do A dove may spin a web Weaving itself into solar dust Place me under the shroud Allow me to escape into a cloud You never understood the last door Open it youll find nine more The nails you placed through my skin Slowly gently Ill loosen them So go turn away from me Pollinate every flower you see Ill be waiting on the northern star We can be one if you dare to travel this far Crucify me its the least you can do My heart belongs to you 7/31/11 9:29 AM

5/21/11 9:09 PM Yuck Working Quirking Jerking Loving Dying Identity shattered No more Ego in a tin class on the floor Falafel in many pieces Life the most uncomfortable adventure I love life I hate what people have turned life into A game of lies A jazz scat on the wall of existence Crushing concepts False ideals Pressed between the pages of the world A flower in the Torah Life is a gift A gift we are forced to squander Squander in the name of progress Horses run Reggae tempo Rain comes Mixed with snow

About Bekle Berhane

5/21/11 9:09 PM

Bekle Berhane is a share-a-like artist from Boston Massachusetts. To some him up in a few words would not do him justice nor would you get a complete feel for whom he is. I can only tell you he is what some may call a Creation Stepper because he can move within the realms of Babylon and of Zion within ease, which gives him a different view on the world around him. His education comes from living life, his Rastafari and Moorish Brothers and Sisters. It is with my hope that with each collection of poems you will come to know him, and understand who he is. May all who read this be blessed forever.
