THE MATTER OF BLACK LIVES: THE LESSON

CATEGORY

Views: 185

 

 

The psychological effects of racism keloids

a powerful syndrome of self-hate mentality

on its victims—releasing a heinous spirit

of death that leads to a strange fascination

with self-destructive communal criminality.

 

The roots of this American syndrome…

existing long before that of Stockholm…

is deeply anchored in America’s history

of its racist institution of demonic slavery

which subjugating Blacks to chattel oppression;

stripping them of who and whose they were…

disintegrating them from self, each other, and God.

 

Enslavement indeed reduced Blacks to corralled

livestock—void of humanity—shattered, scared

and devastated beyond faculties to understand

their brokenness and much needed mental repair.

 

Oh, slavery was much-more cruel than his-story

religiously portrays; omitting how this evil system

robbed chattel Blacks of selfhood—leaving them

dismayed…with “…death soaked into their spirit.”

 

While many of our ancestors physically survived

slavery and were able to resurrect their spirits

from the demeaning curses of oppression, many

remained immersed in a culture of spiritual death.

A spiritual death which led them to passing on

to generations…psychological “genes” of self hatred

and violence that has become the fruit that slavery

has cultivated  in today’s American racist syndrome.

 

Wake up Black America!  Wake up!  The present

dual pandemic aftermath is neither a dream nor

a mythical-poetic nightmare; rather, it is a flaming

reality…scorching the souls…of those who have

subjugated God’s will to their own debasing will.

 

Now, our village communities are caught up

in the psycho inflicted violence of those who

have become the homicidal-suicidal slaves of

the racist syndrome that is softening that echo

ringing out to all…: “Black Lives Matter…To Us.”

 

Let us be mindful dearly beloveth…bursting

from the womb of life is liberation of life…

blessed with choices and anointed with the will

of God; so, come, let us now dedicate our lives

to His will—not ours—being done at home.

 

It has been said that charity begins at home.

Thus, as we have moved from being property

to owning property, let us laser-focus charity

on ourselves…illuminating it within the spirit

of our children:  Black Lives Matter…To Us!

 

May it be the will of God that our will…

will become…dedicated to the eradication

of the syndrome of criminality that continues

to decimate innocent lives in our communities

by the psycho-homicides committed by those who

are the lost victims of the self-hate mentality of racism.

 

Finally, dearly beloveth…as is gleaned in scripture,

whatsoever has been expressed and found worthy,

pure, just, true, and considered of good virtue, award

due contemplation…: “ Black Lives Matter…To Us!”

Thanks, Wise_Notion. May we soon wake up to these truths and be emancipated from self destruction...and get back to building community and rather than mocking the will of God as robotic creatures of our oppressors. Peace and Love, mlowe5.

Indeed, well spoken and stated....its funny I'm often remined that nothing in the universe is wasted and that gives me a chill....for the oppressors have loosed a world a hurt that will turn away from each other and focus on the enemy and may God help them to realize and change their fate....nature unleashed is scary...we are witnessing this firsthand...we must reach who we can and realize others will be moved intentionally to be those shock troops to initiate change...reminds me of a sci-fi move from 70s called the Food of the Gods...where after abusing nature/environs, nature turned to attack...as stated nothing in the universe is for waste....Peace and Love and Respect!
