Seeking solace at that particular
Station of the Cross
I found myself being spiritually
Stunned and lost;
Simon was a North African black man
From Cyrene;
Yet, he has been so canvassed as to
Appear European.
There’s so much identity theft even
In biblical history;
Thus, the need for us to fingerprint
Our own story:-
We have and always will believe in Jesus
Whom we trust;
Dare they cheekily steal our shared cross
Bearing burden from us:-
To God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit we
Will always trust—
Humbly praying and giving thanks for the many
Burdens lifted from us.
In divinely revealed awareness, we continue to hail
The crucifixion journey;
In resurrected hope and faith, we know that God
Wills us spiritual equality.
