The Reality of The Whole Matter

CATEGORY

The irony of “Black Lives Matter”

lies in it being an ideological truth

rather than a divine truth in the minds

and actions of the black community.

For we must yet be forever reminded,

that divine truth is not an idea but is “…

an event breaking into the brokenness of

our history—restoring wholeness and grace

in our culturally based communities.

 

Marching downtown and loudly chanting

“Black Lives Matter!...No justice no peace!”

to those who could care less is one thing,

but turning such chants into the action of reality

is another; indeed, a mere axiomatic perspective

can only perpetuate and contradict the divine will

to liberate downtrodden black communities

from accepting self-imposed suicidal-like oppressive

acts that have re-enslaved so many of our own people.

 

The point is this, how much longer will we continue

To allow ourselves to be victims of that self oppressive

Phenomenon…that is so detrimental to our struggle

And [so] pleasing to the white eyes of our true oppressors

Joyfully watching and fist-bumping…we blacks killing each other?!

How long will we continue to allow the renegade black oppressed

To kill our mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and children because

They and we have allowed fear to crush the balls of our bravery

Preventing us from dealing with the oppressive forces at work

In our own communities—how long will we continue

To do our oppressors’ job for them:  The near extinction of another

No longer needed hued humanity; all of whose life indeed matter?

Thought provoking peice Mlowe. Self evaluation is a must for growth, do we value our black lives the way that we desire our oppressors to?

Indeed, Tali_sosweet, we must look at and evaluate how we are contributing to our own oppression---not valuing our lives the way we want them to be valued by the oppressors.. So much "in house" work yet to be done. Peace and Love, mlowe

Again, many thanks, love_supreme. I know you know where I'm coming from. The "mattering of 'housework' remains. Peace and Love.
