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)

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...
