Black... JESUS

Yes, I said it…

Meant …it, too…  

 

That the son of God…

Might look like me and you

 

Where is it written?

Tell me the truth…

 

 

There never was a story told,

Show me the proof…

 

 

What manner of man+thinking…  

Might that take...

 

For this to be …made truth,

You might ask…  

 

With hair like wool…

And skin like  …bronze…

 

Patient, unassuming…

Slow to anger…

 

Fair of mind…

 

These are attributes, not far removed

From those you might expect…

 

From …a Brown man…

 

Or at least,

Darker than tan…

 

But once…

 

You might have been caught…

Taken against your will

 

Bought…

Like cattle, put on the stage

 

Had a buyer check your build

And your teeth…

 

Gave you a slave bible

Although you were forbidden to read…

 

And to,   

 

A person calling you a slave

 

Having a…  

Black/Brown master 

 

Might have been…

(AHEM!)

 

A bit far to reach…

In light of their actions,

 

Perhaps …even…

 

Beyond belief?

 

Would you.

 

Could you?

 

 

If, true…

Would it give you grief?

 

Or…

Would you take it in stride…

 

Are you with it…

That through God…

 

All things are possible…

(Wink, nod)

 

C2  

 

 

 

 

The ever loving,

Never ending,

NOW,

 

As we have

Forever

...known it...

 

 REQUIRES

 

Sacrifice

To continue

 

…to be made…

 

In its inevitable rise...

 

And now …the payment…  

 

…is due...

And we say it LOUD, C2!: Ur! Chaldees! Hamites! Cush! Egypt! Mizraim! Ethiopia! Falasha! Shulamit! Canaanite! Alkebulan! If only we would go back to the Book and read between the lines! Thanks, C2. Truth may be hidden; but can never be buried. HIs-story can never be Ourstory! Peace and Love, M'Lowe
