My Own Song, in My Own Voice

by J and J - Cancer

this is a song, keep that in mind,
a work in progress.

jameel
son of nisarul.
haq.

jamil
ibn nisarul
raised by jesus and muhammad
isa and moses
shuffling along with the children of abraham
ibrahim,
christmas trees and koran's
green crescent moon crosses
flow thru dreams and scenes.

jamil
bin nisarul
durani tribesman, pathan
herdsman transforming into doctors
nurses, lawyers,
the collection of countless bits of history
carbon and silicon from alexander the great
magnesium and sodium from mensa musa
a drop of phospherus from genghis
a smidge of calcium form mamoon al-rashid
akbar and babar, who came to america to become elephants...

jameel
son of europe and asia
american, american, nothing more, nothing less,
like sassoon said, past present and future meets in me
lives, thrives,
now,
who are you, tell me,
and when we know ourselves,
we can ask the delphic oracle
how to lift up mankind
so we could sing,
dance and love
as one.

Reason for writing:

    hope
