How Is That A Blessing?
How is that a Blessing
Our father's & brother's were murdered & sold.
Stripped away from their families
How is that blessing?
Our mother's & sister's were abused & raped
How is that a blessing?
Our psyche's were stripped away
How is that a blessing?
We were made to feel less than a man
Taught that we were inferior
How is that a blessing?
Things that were put in place to keep us in check
Has caused mental damage
Today we still feel the effects
How is that a blessing?
We were lynched & tarred
Emotionally, physically & mentally scarred
How is that a blessing?
We were branded & sold like cattle
Beat with whips like animals
How is that a blessing?
It's not
It was a curse.
*These are the raw emotions that arose inside of me upon reading this article: http://www.thedailydolt.com/2012/10/06/arkansas-republican-slavery-was-a-blessing-for-black-people/ *

Dear Jon Hubbard
Jesus said to pray for your enemies
Love those who hate you
I'm sorry
But of those actions
I'm just not capable
Especially when the bigots & racists'
Disrespect us in our faces
But they're christian
So that makes it ok for them to say it
Bullshit!
You're an arrogant, ignorant, piece of shit
Who makes asinine statements
There can be no peace
Or forgiveness
When all you do is cause division
Portraying America as the greatest thing on earth
Are you kidding
Oh, I get it
Your one of the superior beings
You're a racist piece of shit that doesnt even deserve to be breathing.

The Great Divide
The Great Divide
Which is nothing new as we look back into time
Where one's skin complexion decides
Which side of the line you can stand on
United we stand
Divided we fall
I often wonder have we ever stood at all
And if we have was it us standing tall
Heads held high
Or were our heads hung low
From the shame inside
Diversity's a gift
Its a blessing that our differences exist
But you cant keep making others feel like shit
Because of their attributes
And the fact that they are different from you.

It even plagues religions
I mean look at the christians
Jesus said inside him the dividing wall was torn down
But you still see black churches & white churches all throughout town
The whites are still republicans
The blacks are democrats
Quick to divide & slit each others throats
While using fear of God to try to manipulate the other side
What a joke.

Everything from India's caste systems
To viewing different people as inferior individuals
The Hitler complex
Race conquering conquest
Stems from the arrogance of our mindsets
Like our views are absolute
There is no other truth
But that just says to me that your a fool.

The Church Has Failed
The church has failed
Jesus
The world
Themselves
Narrowly focused on hell
While overlooking the weak, hurting & frail
Is it that hard to tell
Are you blind
Can you not see the signs
The pain you've committed is not reflective of the divine.
More concerned with the politics of the time
Then compassion
What happened
Thats what im askin
The good youve done isnt even a fraction
Of the atrocities you've practiced.

Internal strife
External hatred
How you suppose to be united but clearly divided
Doesnt make sense
Arrogant & pious
Willing to fight for an unborn fetus
But wont take a stand for the ones who are mistreated
Clearly the latter arent less important than the previous.

You've inflicted so much pain pain pain
Supposedly in Jesus name
But really in the name of gain
Manipulation, fear and shame
Add a little guilt
This is how you get people to change
Funny thing
I never saw Jesus use those tactics
He wasnt into politricks although he instructed Peter to pay his taxes
Again I ask you

True Religion is loving your neighbor as yourself
Visiting the orphans & widows
Giving them a hand of help
Serving the poor & marginalized
Not trying to get them to do what YOU think is right in YOUR eyes
Its giving to those who ask
Its not wearing a mask
Its not judging outsiders on their present or their past
Its not being apathetic or indifferent
Oh & I forgot to mention
God is not a christian.

God is love
The creator of the stars above
The giver & sustainer
Not some angry old man just giving us the finger.

My Love, My Dear
My Love, My Dear
Together we face life without fear
In pain when your absent
But comforted when your near
Romance
We hold hands
I whisper sweet nothings in your ear
And give you flowers of your favorite color
Have you smiling ear to ear.
You birthed to me beautiful kids
Your the definition of what beautiful is
Captured
Enraptured
All in your love
Kind
Amazing
Great
Graceful
You are all of the above
I love you.

Only Time Will Tell
Will we fail or prevail
Only time will tell
It flies with no wings but I wish it moved slower than a snail
Only time will tell
It flies with no wings but I wish it moved slower than a snail
We set sail on open seas
With dreams of being all that we can
But as far as we can see there is no land
We stand we fight
With every ounce of our life
And try to stay positive though its no food for tonight
But in spite of our woes
We try to keep our heads high even when our souls experience lows.

A new day brings new hope
New chances
Another day to cope
Hopefully the pain will fade
And I wont carry this load for the remainder of my days
Cuz if it stays
I might become crazed
But only time will tell.
