Preface What you have in your hands is not a book but rather an act of blowing riffs. This may not what and what not you expect. To me, my doing this in the style that I have been blessed with is a vehicle to carry a message - a message of hope in the embodiment of poetry. My poems carry reminders why we're here on earth and the best method to utilize our short but enormously critical stay here during what we call "life". In my writing, I include sentiments on social, political and moral issues but also on other aspects of humanity and what such focus implies. Now that being said, I can get incredibly long-winded concerning the aforementioned statement but I won't. I will, instead, let the context speak for itself. Just know, though, that this effort is simply a creative expression and not a religious text. It is meant for mankind from all persuasions to digest. May Allah (SWT) forgive me, if I offend anyone. At the end of the day this is... food 4 thought! Shareef Abdur Rasheed
Autorenporträt
About the Author Shareef Abdur-Rasheed, AKA, Zakir Flo was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. His education includes Brooklyn College, Suffolk County Community College and Makkah, Saudi Arabia. He is a Veteran of the Viet Nam era, where in 1969 he reverted to his now reverently embraced Islamic Faith. He is very active in the Islamic community and beyond with his teachings, activism and his humanity. The author has led quite a storied life and has been exposed to, has broken bread and communed with many other artists, musicians, activists and social luminaries such as the Reverend Al Sharton, Sulaiman El Hadi and Jalal Mansor Nurradin from the original "Last Poets" and numerous others. He himself is an avid percussionist and has a great passion for the Congas and Timbales. He is a great lover of the Afro Cubano, Latin Jazz and Salsa. Throughout his childhood, his father has exposed him to many of the Jazz greats who have been through New York. The list is far too extensive to mention. Shareef's spiritual expression comes through the persona of "Zakir Flo". Zakir is Arabic for "to remind". Never silent, Shareef Abdur-Rasheed is always dropping science, love, consciousness and signs of the time in rhyme. Shareef is the patriarch of the Abdur-Rasheed family with nine children (six sons and three daughters) and forty-one grandchildren (twenty-four boys and seventeen girls).
