IMU
IMU just another side of the SHU as far as
the dark side of the moon
silent too
segregation —
torture abuse
mental degradation
hatred infused
it’s what they do resistance seems moot
what’s the use?
— RESISTANCE
see
it’s ESSENCE
it’s core to our belief in the struggle to be free
no matter what you see cages gates
indiscriminate bombing
RESISTANCE is key fundamental to me
what I see brings me grief
what I hear brings me tears
what I speak is truth
ALL I fear is NOT fighting

Untitled #1
I write what I see
most sights are so bleak
screams
silence
both deafening
genocide, hunger
atrocities
carceral state has captured me
revolutionary being ain’t easy
but it’s beautiful too
what struggle can produce
relationships forged that refuse to yield
break in the face of repression
it’s painful
the loss… the cost
what you gain
though
what we all may
helps keep the faith
today I’m loved
well met and received
comfort and understanding
warms me like the sun I cannot see
my people care for me
like a freshly planted tree
love still grows
even in the darkest holes
that’s all we have
all we are
love and trust
relationships are a must
to persevere and resist
to rise and persist
all we’ve got is us; to my loves, those
who know, who won’t let me get lost
in the hole

Untitled #2
Doin’ hole time
2024-25
world weighs heavy on my mind
doin’ time with revolutionary love in
mind
stuck away where the sun don’t shine
except when you come to mind
I cheese wide
knowing our hearts entwined
never mind the time
your hand in mind
I know I’m fine

Malik Muhammad is a Black/ Palestinian Muslim, anarchist antifascist, antiracist abolitionist imprisoned fighting for his love of freedom during the George Floyd Uprisings in Portland, Oregon. Throughout his prison sentence, he’s consisently fought back against racist, exploitative abuse and conditions, landing him in solitary confinement for long durations on multiple occasions, where he continued to fight, waging hunger strikes for his release out of the hole. His writing from prison can be found on malikspeaks.noblogs.org. As of 3/29/25, Malik is back in solitary confinement due to bullshit charges and his inside organizing.
