Stop it!
I got a mentality to build here!
I got a life to build hear!
I got a body to build here!
I got a debt to pay here!
I got respect to earn here!
I got an empire to build here!
Mind leak
Mind freak
Time to speak
Don’t keep me weak
Smash this phase
Move this haze!
Flip the switch
I’m a brand new kid

If you want to score
You need to rip yourself apart
Truth
It’s internal behaviours that need calibration
Re-adjustment of the gadgetry
It’s the difference between saying it
and Living it
Too much theory
This isn’t a subject
Be close to the ground
No one said there aren’t alternatives to dealing with it
But it’s the addiction that is the destroyer
Pull out
Any way possible
It’s so magnetic
A mist over you
Can’t shake it
Confusing
Obeying it’s every command
It’s the Effort
Gotta keep digging
Gotta find a way out
Fight this!
Wanna score
So important to score
Comparing scoring to addiction
Like night and day
Why am I being held back after all this contemplation?
It’s not worth it
Necessary to score Now
What a state!
Returning back to the state of nature
When everything just happened
And you just did
When I score
It’s because everything changed…
It’s because I changed
I want to score
But
How?
But
When?
I want to score…

Do you want to be good?
Or do you want to be World Class?
Do u want to be good?
Or do you want to be World Class?
Can’t you see the gates?
They’re right in front of you
Why do you gotta climb the walls?
When you can walk right through?
You tick n you tock
Worken hard round the clock
You know you can produce
Cuz you know you don’t stop
Do you want to be good?
Or do you want to be World Class…

I sinned
It’s a thin line
Between the two isn’t it?
…
Isn’t it?
Check your heart
Does the good make you proud?
It can
It does
But then the Sin strikes
The deadliest, the kind you initiate
And you’re put back into place
Then you know
If you realize
It’s a thin line
I sinned…

I promise I’ll Struggle
I’ll Struggle!
I’ll Struggle!
I’ll Struggle!
Let this day
Not be the day
When you let us down

The Moment
Think for a very long time
Make your commitment
It’s the difference between a 9
And a 10
Pebbles of Time
Slipping through my fingers
And if its over soon?
Nothing would have mattered
But?
But WHAT?

The Struggle

Let this day
Not be the day
When you let us down

The Struggle…

Mar. 2013, Toronto – A deal has been signed between studentasim and the Ontario Library Association (the OLA) to bring his work to the Canadian market place.  

The Ontario Library Association is the oldest and largest library association in Canada. It is central to the procurement of many libraries in Ontario and Canada, in addition to educational circles like schools.

Two items are now available through the OLA store:  Khadijah goes to School – A story about You… (Read the reviews) and The Champion for Life™, a unique social awareness Idea, currently as a 3 foot by 2 foot poster, presented through 300 languages and additional symbols to create a lasting impression of developing “The Self” and helping others.

The Champion for Life™ had its Canadian debut at the OLA Super Conference in January 2013.  It was also recently presented at the largest Literacy Conference in the country, Reading for the Love of It through the OLA.

“I’m really excited about partnering with the OLA.  This is an excellent opportunity to share my work with a wider audience and bring something unique to the fore,” says studentasim.

Khadijah goes to School has enjoyed excellent reviews to date.  His new release, The Champion for Life™ has caused interest and a number of schools in the Toronto area are now using this Awareness (Literacy) poster.

LATE
A deadline missed
Who’s cross at who?
They’re all disappointed
Personally disappointed
Vital
A blow in the ship
The truth is a problem remains a problem
Until it’s fixed
It’s not about just getting there
It’s not about just making it happen despite the odds
The world isn’t against you constantly
The odds are
But whose odds?
Theirs?
OR Yours?
The problem needs to be fixed
It’s the problem of the problem that also needs to be fixed…

I is I
I is You
I is We
I is Our Sto-ry…

This is for the 26
When your lives were taken
It makes no sense

The ugly man
Did what he can

But the bravery I heard
Teachers deserve

It’s the time like this
In death or to live

The bravery that comes
Fear that’s shunned

It’s what makes a person rise to the feat
Face the enemy and not retreat

The Lord have mercy
The Lord has plans

The Lord forgive
Those at hand

Please Lord, give peace to those behind
And let not this happen, this hideous crime

Be it known that life is sacred no matter where
Be it Palestine, Pakistan, or USA

The blood from the wounds cause so much pain
Blood is not cheap
Just the story in vain

Let there be moments of silence for massacres everywhere
Hitting home reminds us life is respected no matter where

This is a poem
At this time
For the 26 who passed
To their lives…

I’m numb from poverty
It’s hard to laugh
It’s hard to cry
Layers of consciousness weigh down
It becomes difficult
It becomes hard
And then it becomes Numb
It doesn’t matter what happens anymore
It’s true, economic sanctions arrest your development
You actions become inconclusive
You become dust on the playing field
You don’t exist
The economic sanctions the Situation imposes
You lose your voice
Dragged to conform
Why is there poverty?
In a world so affluent?
Why is there poverty?
There is a problem here
The problem is not everybody experiences poverty
So how would they know?
If you experience poverty, you would never let it happen to another
Aren’t the stories enough?
Do we not care about this?
Why is there poverty?
WHY?
If we can kill people, why can’t we save them?
These bearings are very wrong
The Spirit of Mankind exposed
A crime against Humanity…by Humanity
In fact, these stories are enough
Because there are too many to tell
My hands to the sky
I’m numb from poverty…
