AN ALLEGORICAL LAY HOMILETIC LITANY ON THE CHRISTAIN MATTERING OF BLACK LIVES

CATEGORY

The cross: tree lynching—

Jesus and Simon walking:-

None mattering lives…

 

Simon of Cyrene—

Ebon man helping Jesus:-

Mattering hued lives...

 

I am a Black man—

My life seems not to matter:-

I pray that yours does…

 

Be blessed and save lives—

Destroying life is a sin:-

Black lives must matter…

 

All is inclusive—

All Black lives must matter too:-

Can’t be Whites only…

 

You said accepting Black Lives matter

By school and the church was too

Political; never giving thought to what if

Jesus had said something like that, then.

 

Did you feel that to support

Black Lives Matter could become

Financially critical—feeling more

Comfortable knowing that it was

Not your fault that some Christians

Where chosen to be born black?

 

You indicated that when privileged

And white, everything you did was right;

And the mattering of black lives

Was not clearly, not yours to fight!

 

Oh, though you speak with

The forked tongue of men

Without charity, I forgive you,

For it is written that I should

Not fall for such deception:

God is not mocked: for

Whatsoever a man soweth,

That shall he…[also]…reap.

 

As for me, it has always been deemed

That mine and all black lives matter;

For it is written, “…they who wait upon

The Lord shall renew their strength; they

Shall mount up with wings as eagles;

They shall run, and not be weary, and

They shall walk, and faint.”

 

To God be the glory in the mattering of

All lives; for all is indeed, inclusive:

Black lives have always mattered—as

Demonstrated by Simon—the Cross—Jesus.
