God Bless America
the headline reads on the daily news
God Bless America
i didn't see any image of Jesus
except a false goof with blonde hair and blue eyes, the way the world perceives him
to be in the world's eyes that continues to be blinded by truth that forever hurts
i saw the american flag crucify and blood spilled over the front page
the image i know it's true is Jesus sacrificing his life for our sins
His blood gushed out of His body
it was horrific, it was also amazing that three days later, He rose from the dead to save us from hate
what took place in Orlando is tragic
lives taken innocently by terrorism
can this absent minded, idiotic country not label terrorists as only muslims
any person who uses weapons as a form of mass destruction is a terrorist
terrorism is based on hateful acts, not color
my heart bleeds for lives gone in Orlando
my heart also bleeds for lives annihilated in Chicago
my hearts continues to shed blood in Brooklyn, where five young brothers were slaughtered on a basketball court
by an idiot who accused them of stealing his bookbag.
he didn't see them, but shot them none the less
all because he listen to the enemy whose main purpose to steal, kill & destroy
just like that guy in Orlando, he heard the same lies from satan
he echo steal, kill, & destroy
even those dudes, and others who orchestrated the violence by playing the tunes of rounds shots firing
hitting bodies that sounds like drum beats
you pray for them because they don't know no better
they are mean, evil spirited people
bloodbaths spilled all over the streets of south side in chicago
where lives were laying there dead as if you were playing resident evil but live
i'm not known to be a gambler
but how much you want to bet that the focus point will be Orlando
why? there's more capitalism such that opportunities pertains to certain people
why? people who were killed represented a certain lifestyle
i wonder how much emphasis people will talk about the sorrows, the hurt, the pain in Chicago
the shootings happen in south side, you know the ghetto
gang rivals continue to retaliate where one of their mans is killed like this country, but no one wants to hear the actual truth
a place the world sees people as gorillas, and uneducated
a neighborhood of broken glass windows, doors with bullet holes, drunks on the corner, poverty excel like trump's preliminary victories in states (which by the way is insane)
an environment where the unborn leaves the mother's womb and already wants to go back inside the womb due to traumatic impact of shots fired
would that same passion of people crying their eyes out for Orlando be the same in Chicago or even Brooklyn
i truly wonder
cries should not be less to communities that are not applicable to gentrification
emotions that are desensitize cold heartedly where persecution is normative
the poor is mistreated by society by labeling them as one less dead nigga to worry about
no one who are victims of violent wars should be imprison or deny of justice
all lives matters
where one comes from is irrelevant, we come from different walks of life coming together for one reason
to obey, serve, minister, and prophesy God's words in magnifying Him
God bless everything He touches
the problem is that people don't want to seek to touch Him
and yet The Lord gets blame for the latest massacre
but i ask
where is your faith? where is it?
if you want to know
read Hebrew 11:6
if you don't have faith , how can you please God
if you want to know The Lord, accept that He exists and walk with Him
He blesses those who seek Him diligently
that's how God works, it's His time, it's His will
He will never leave nor forsake us despite our unfaithfulness
combating hate not with retaliation
but with reconciliation with God
by listening when He say the word love
love your enemies who persecute you
love Me with your heart, your soul, your mind & your strength
love your neighbor
love edifies, hate crucifies
when there's seperation, all you doing is adding on the problem that exists
when there's unification, we not only move mountains, we're adding on to make a difference to the world
where we influence people, not impress people
death have no color, but red that bleeds in the streets
the difference is the bullet holes one takes to the body
where they can't fight back
what i ask is that we resist the oppression of hate with love
not during the moment of crisis or when it passes
but throughout our lives where we have a purpose
if you don't know where to begin
start with a biblical scripture that's simple, yet powerrful verse
no weapons form against us shall prosper, that comes from Isaiah 54:17
if that doesn't hit you in the core
then we all unify with this verse from Phillipians 4:13
i can do all things through Christ who stregthens me
the i becomes we
when we figure this out, watch how Our Heavenly Father takes our weaknesses
and turns them into strengths for His glory.
