I was watching HBO's Def Poetry Jam when a brother by the name of Amir Sulaiman caught my attention after sharing his poem entitled "Danger". The overpowering messege in his poem lead me to searching more about him. Here I found a poor quality of the poem he shared on HBO's
Def Poetry Jam. Enjoy! For more about him visit his website,

Did you all know after brother Amir shared this piece he had the FBI come knocking on his door questioning him on why he had somewhat of an "anti-American" messege. I believe he is still being harrassed by the FBI. He is on the 'No Fly List' meaning when he enters the airport he'll be followed and fully searched till he enters the plane. Freedom of speech/expression went downhill after 9/11. :(

Rocky thank you so very much this maid my day here in the office. I shared this clip with my co-workers and they are very impressed not only on his poem but his strong voice with no fear and the hands/face expression. Right after they aired DANGER on HBO within 6 days the FBI agents came to his mother-in-law's house looking for brother Amir. They asked 4 Amir and they were told he's not here at the moment so the FBI stayed there few hours and talked to one of his brother-in-law. They went to the school he was teaching and talked to the principal about Amir. It doesn't stop there they issued a grand jury subpoena for the names, addresses of all his students the class he was teaching. Amir learned at Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport's ticket counter that his name has been added to the FBI's "NO-FLY" list.
Amir Suleiman my god guide you to your knowledge both mentally and in spirit. YOU ARE ICON especially for MUSLIMS who can't express their anger.
Jizaakalah Rocky

justice is somewhere between reading sad poems
justice is between plans and action between writing letters to congress men...
raising between legal defense funds
it's between prayer and fasting
Freedom it's between mind and soul.
Freedom it's between finger and tricker
in between page and pen
in between guaranee in a pen
so what they gona do with a man like halt like turner
a mind like Douglass
a voice like Malcolm
and voice like ???
that's why I am not Dangerous
I am danger
I am not Angry
I am anger
I am teenage Palestinian

We must learn
know right we
we must kick
bite, yell, scream
we must pray, fast, live, dream,
fight, kill, and die freeeeeeeee
