You Look So Good
1. “You Look So Good” is a tribute to The 1995 Million Man March. In it, Khalim opens with an Islamic Version of the “Million Man March Prayer.” (There is also a Judaeo-Christian Version). He asks God (Allah) to “Glorify Yourself in the Million Men, and the 144,000, (and) all those who choose freedom over tyranny, right over wrong, and to be called Your Chosen, in these Days of Judgment.
“Show that those who are called
Babylon, the Great (or the Great Satan),
Are not great; but rather, those oppressors are low forms of life,
And will be put
Where they belong.”
2. In “How Could You Not Know It,” Khalim is in top form: creative, daring, beautiful - and powerful:
“Why do lovers love to
Start their loving with a kiss?
When love adds on to perfect love
Does it create a list?
Each time we love completely,
Does time turn into bliss?
And if our love is meant to be,
How can we avoid it?
“...If two hearts become one heart,
What happens if it splits?
If I am meant to be your lover,
How could you not know it?
“...When we pray to Our Father
Does water turn to mist?
If fate decides a matter
Can we choose to resist?
“If Kingdom Come came here today,
Would it insist on staying,
Prayer, and praying,
Repentance,
Fasting,
Love, and
Saying: “The Kingdom of Heaven’s” at Hand?
“...And love has triumphed because
I love you
How could you not know it?”
3. “Million Man March Blues” is a blues. Khalim laments:
“...You gave me your body
But you kept your mind and soul
You gave an empty shell
I need somebody whole
You gave your word
Then you went your way
You went for night
‘Cause I go for day
You vote devils in
Though it is a sin
And yet, you say you are my friend
You want to party
When I want to pray
I move within the light
You want to worship might
I choose a moral way
You act like any snake
You saw me heading south
So, you headed north
“You pulled the plug on me
As I was going forth
“...I gave you love
But you gave me shoes
Sent me to March
Gave me the Million Man Blues”
4. In “Let My People Go,” Khalim gets down to the business of the Million Man March:
“Gather together in Unity
Those of you who love Me,
Go down to D.C.
Tell Pharaoh
To Let My people Go!
Get up, and form a Million Strong
Camp-out around the Capitol Dome
And tell My Chosen: “Come back home!”
“...Tell Pharaoh:
“The time has come,
Your time is up,
Your cup is full of iniquity
And you are history, you demon
“...I want the earth back,
It is time for you to pack,
Hide from my wrath,
And watch your mouth
For, the rejected is
The cornerstone of This House”
5. The selection, “You Look So Good” is a tribute to The Millions of Women. And it is the other side, or complement, to the Million Men.
In it Khalim says, “...you look so good, I just want to thank you for being born.”
“...Thank God for eyes
To look at you
He must be proud of how you look
For, beautiful has triumphed
Just as surely as will truth
And we know just by seeing you:
In the end
We will win
(Because) “Truth and Beauty” always wins
Because it is so good!”
6. Good must triumph over evil. In “Attack the Jericho Wall,” Khalim invokes Jihad:
“Now, you have heard the final call,
And I hereby anoint you all
I am giving you the ball,
Attack the Jericho Wall!”
7. In “A Man Will Do What A Man Must Do,” Khalim reminds us that when confronted with oppression and injustice, “a man will rise, resist, rebel; a man will send you- straight to hell!”
8. “You Look So Good” has many purely religious, or spiritual selections, including, “I Want To Thank You,” “We Orchestrate This Resurrection,” “Soldier’s Prayer,” “Confession Time,” “Spirituals,” “I Am That Jew, Just Like You,” and “Some Names Of God In Prayer.” The relatively long piece, “This World Is Mine,” produced in reaction to the 1991 Gulf War, is also included.
Khalim asserts in “This World Is Mine” that the alignment of economic, political, military, and socio-cultural forces in 1991 indicated the formation of the 8th World Power, an evolution of the 7th World Power (which includes the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia). The 8th World Power includes the 7th World Power, plus NATO, and the European Union.
In “This World Is Mine,” we are told:
“Make no mistake
The time is late
I’m taking my world back from devils
Lining them up for hell
And giving to my chosen
What they earn”
“...And forever more, I will be good
To those who walk with Me
“We’ll WALK TOGETHER ON MY EARTH
And sing my song
And know the difference between right and wrong
Move in my will
And share the knowledge and the skills
“AND YOU WILL KNOW THAT I AM LOVE
For, I will bathe you in my light
I will lift you with my might
You will see that I’m ALL RIGHT
“You will see that I am He
For, you will look at me....”
9. In “Declaration Of The United People of The United States of America,” Khalim gives us a tool to “separate good people from devils.” “Declaration” is Jeffersonian and Lincolnesque, and in tone, like our first Declaration Of Independence. It details the satanic, communistic evil of this current government. It concludes, “IT IS OUR RIGHT! IT IS OUR DUTY TO THROW OFF this present intrusive, parasitic, ineffective, and oppressive government by those princes in rebellion against God! “And we shall institute a form of government of God and people, for God and people, for the Glory of God!”
Khalim’s Declaration is a must read for any citizen of planet earth, and especially for any American citizen.
10. You Look So Good ends with “Free At Last,” and takes us back to the theme of the Million Man March. In it, we are told that the march symbolizes, and is the formation of seen and unseen forces who are in step with the plans of God, including Joshua, Gabriel, and angels. The March is a march against those who are out of step with God. They are out of step morally, politically, intellectually, and culturally. And “Nature” will deal with those who are out of step during these times of change.
“And all those who remain on earth will march in step with Joshua, Gabriel, and God.
And they will sing this:
FREE AT LAST!
FREE AT LAST!
THANK GOD ALMIGHTY,
WE’RE FREE AT LAST!”
