I’m angry like angry angry broken confused distant lost
I’ll be honest I’m angry bitter and ugly at times because
My trauma makes it hard to feel blessed
I got a degree I’ve escaped to different states
Trying to seek less stress
I can hear God saying spread love but
I’m constantly reminded of white supremacy every single day on how I speak, act think and am perceived
So when I hear about George Floyd Eric garner Korryn Gaines I’m forced to feel
Let me breathe
Let black people breathe
Stop expecting so much
Just step up and take the burden for once
Dang isn’t it enough that everyday we’re choked with the reminder to prove we matter
When we straighten our hair and talk like this
Ugh It’s too much to even put in to words to comprehend it’s just another echo of a sin...
Racism
Honestly I wasn’t born a fighter but I gotta do what I gotta do because if i don’t the fighters still fight while I lose
Echooo echooo echoooo
Slavery to separation to hate
Rasism
America’s original sin
Justice for George Floyd and all black people who can’t breathe because of the systemic echo of injustice discrimination suffocating their voice
Privileged citizens speak up—we tired of explaining
May we one day mourn the pressure that comes from being black
And soon
Celebrate our brothers and sisters
I’ve honestly been hopeless these last few days and would normally write a book but felt like their was nothing new to say
We come together for prayer healing and justice not just because we need it but because remembering God is still here in the midst gives us hope
When we pray we’re supposed to have faith and to have faith we need to have some sort of hope to hold onto
Four years ago I had no hope, and lost all faith in humanity but there is a civil war literally going on and at some point it’s going to wake some people up who have been clinging to their eyes being closed.
It’s time to open the eyes of the blind
We acknowledged the sin of homophobia, we acknowledged unequal treatment of women but the majority still don’t want to address the sin of racism and that’s why I feel we still have a long way to go. Why do we still have to prove our existence matters. This is an injustice. Denying racism is just another echo of sin
Verse Concepts
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor.
He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives,
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set free those who are oppressed,
May we continue seeking ways to open the eyes of the blind, free the prisoner and check our implicit biases to make a world anew. The flood of ignorance is no longer bliss; we must take cover today, Amen.
