"I don`t know half of you half as well as I should like and like less than half of you half as well as you deserve." - Bilbo Baggins (a.k.a J.R.R. Tolkien) from "The Fellowship of the Ring", Part One of `The Lord of the Rings` Trilogy

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." - I Corinthians 13:4-7 NIV

"So gather round, as I run it down and unravel my pedigree" ... Welcome to my "Temple of Eternal Reflection", where knowledge is the key and understanding is the lock. As-Salamu Alaikum. For all newcomers, consider yourself entering sacred ground. I am a work in progress so don`t try to judge. I`m just one of the many "kings" of this earth, trying to gain knowledge of self & make a dollar out of fifteen cents. After living in Baltimore for far too long, I`m finally back around the way in Laurel, MD (God Bless P.G. County, MD & D.C.!)

The temple is still under construction. Be patient for there are more things to come, sofor right now just let me know you were here and hit up my G-Spot. I will definitely return the favor. "Shalom" (means Peace).

Peace & Blessings - Gye Nyame

"Know Thyself" -
"Nile Valley Contributions to Civilization"
(Ancient Proverbs as interpreted by Anthony T. Browder)
Reprinted by kind permission from the Institute of Karmic Guidance

A person who knows not
And knows not that they knew not
Is foolish - disregard them

A person who knows not
And knows that they know not
Is simple - teach them

And a person who knows not but
(Still) believes that they know
Is dangerous - avoid them

A person who knows
And knows not that they know
Is asleep - awaken them

A person who knows
And knows that they know
Is wise - follow them

All of these persons reside in you
Know thyself
And to the Most High be true

"Black Rose" a.k.a. "Mind Sex" from Dead Prez
By: Abiodun Oyemole of "The Last Poets"

She smiles,
I smile.
She walks, No, she glides softly by me changing night into day.
She opens her mouth to speak and so sounds ring in my head, she speaks
And I want to dance to her rhythm.
She moves ever so gently, increasing my desires.
Desires to place my arms around her waist and hold and squeeze her to me.
"JC" wants me to melt into her body and discoverthe base of her warmth.
Her beautiful black body that no human mind could ever conceive.
She`s love,
She`s truth,
She`s real.
As real as the stars that shine in the heavens,
As real as the sun that baths her body,
As real as the moon that glows and the birds that sing and the rose that blossoms in spring.
For she is that rose and not just any rose,
Oh, but a black rose.
Black rose that stands taller and stronger than any other plant.
A black rose that stands as creator of nations.
A black rose that never loses her petals and blossoms all year round.
Black rose,
Sweet rose,
Thornless rose,
Eternal rose, ...
Please look my way.
Please look my way.
Please look my way, black rose.

"In the Depths of Solitude (Dedicated 2 Me)" -
"The Rose That Grew From Concrete"
By: Tupac Amaru Shakur

I exist in the depths of solitude
pondering my true goal
Trying 2 find peace of mind
and still preserve my soul
CONSTANTLY yearning 2 be accepted
and from all receive respect
Never compromising but sometimes risky
and that is my only regret
A young heart with an old soul
how can there be peace
How can I be in the depths of solitude
when there R 2 inside of me
This Duo within me causes
the perfect opportunity
2 learn and live twice as fast
as those who accept simplicity

"Enter MXJordan" -
By: M. X. Jordan
(inspired from an insert of D`Angelo`s written prelude from his album "Voodoo")

I have come in the name Malcolm, Thurgood, Martin, & Huey. All spirits formerly known as revolutionaries, all revolutionaries formerly known as great thinkers, leaders - pioneers.I have come in the tradition of burning bushes, burning ghettos, burning splifs, and the ever-burning candles of our bedroomsand silent chambers. I have come bearing our people`s most precious instruments and myvoice: falsetto, alto, & baritone; mind, body, & spirit. I have come adorned in the apparel of the anointed: leather and suede, jeans and t-shirts, linen and even polyester. Ruled by the moon, I have come to seduce and serenade the night and the powers of darkness. I speak of darkness, not as ignorance, but as the unknown and the mysteries of the unseen.....
