Peace… Literally the greatest words someone can offer someone else. It’s a greeting as ancient as time itself. Different groups uttered it when approaching and leaving. It is the meaning of “HOTEP” , it is the greetings of “Shalom” expressed by Hebrews/Jews and “Salaam” offered by Muslims. Jesus himself was said to have approached and left everyone saying “Peace be with you” yet the planet we live on lacks PEACE. 2022 has been a year that has taught me to value that word more than ever and not to take my own desire to have it lightly. When I find myself in personal and internal conflict I realize more and more how much I desire peace and desire to be around people that are “peaceful”. I have attended 3 funerals of family members within the last 6 months and each one has made me reflect more on how short our time here really is. Internal conflict is the most menacing, nerve wrecking and bothersome turmoil one can experience. When that internal conflict is married with external forces that are conflict driven, ridden and motivated the desire for peace become greater. To all my friends, family members and contacts, I just want to offer you salutations of “peace” as you start your day. Remember to hold that as sacred to you as life itself. When you find yourself around forces trying to rob you of that one quality that brings joy to all human beings, do what is necessary to confront it in a peaceful manner and remove yourself from it. You deserve peace, we deserve peace and if everyone strives for that one thing the world will be a better place. I love you family. If you’re reading this offer me the greetings of peace back. It’s so rude not to.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION IS NOT CORNY. Basking in conflict and normalizing it as if it is something cool is. I’m seriously sick and tired of hearing about Black People killing each other. There is NOTHING cool about leaving children without fathers, mothers without husbands or sons, brothers and sisters without a sibling and a community without someone that may have impacted members of it. At some point we have to stop BASKING in our own destruction. Our movies glamorize it, our music glamorize it, our social media posts bathe in it and as a result generation after generation are being raised to continue it. Why don’t we normalize not allowing conflicts to fester, escalate and result in tragedy? Life has no value because we see no value in ourselves. Tonight join us in our discussion on the topic IS HIP HOP BEING USED TO CONTROL OUR COMMUNITY. As many mourn the loss of another one of our Kings, come join us tonight as we look at ways to heal us. This conversation will take place at 9:15 on Youtube.

Thank you to everyone that posted on my page, sent text messages, sang happy birthday on a virtual job meeting (destroyed my eardrums 😀) and just did something to acknowledge another year I have been blessed to walk on this earth. Life is not promised. While I was being grateful for another year of life a brother that I came up with in Islam lost his (see my previous post). While, I was celebrating another year of life last year George Floyd was being murdered at the hands of a racist police officer. So while May 25th means so much to me and commemorates my Bornday, the day I released my second book and the day I rereleased my first book, it also serves as a reminder that life is not to be taken for granted. We can literally be here today and gone tomorrow. We often say give people their flowers/roses while they are alive; to me social media and other outlets allows people the opportunity to openly acknowledge one another if only for a moment, a small second or just send something thoughtful while they are here. One of the greatest gifts you can give to someone is an acknowledgement, just to let them know for that small moment they were thought of. You all have shown me that. I received my roses this week. I sincerely appreciate that. To everyone in Western New York (Niagara Falls, Buffalo, Rochester and surrounding areas) come join me this Friday as I discuss my latest book Systemic Racism: An American Poetic Analysis (details on flyer below). This will be my official “Birthday/Bornday celebration” and I’d love to see you all. I love and appreciate all of you for acknowledging me. Peace and Luv4self. #carlosmuhammad #systemicracism #endsystemicracism #killsystemicracism #systemicracismbooks #luv4self #luv4selfpublishing #luv4selfmovement #Luv4selfenterprises #luv4selfnetwork #systemicracismthebook https://www.instagram.com/p/CPXwXAqp_6h/?utm_medium=tumblr
