Spit in the Face


Spit in the face

Disgrace

Displaced from society

Minority

Why oh why do we not see?

Free

Stripes across the back

Slash

I had the whip

Trip

Don’t slip

Flip

The page

A new chapter written

Smitten

My iniquities beaten

Defeatin’

Sins of my past

Don’t last

For they are

Far…Far

Like the east

From the west

Now I have power

This hour

Take the sword, the shield

March forward, don’t yield

The Gospel holdin’

Good News showin’

His Word sayin’

Speakin’ after prayin’

Another Seed planted

Waters

Grows

Shows

Signs of life

Maintained

Sustained

Then proclaimed

On purpose

The blood spillin’

“The Hero

Dyin’ for the Vill’in”

No greater story

Told

The Father

Sacrificing the Son

For when He said

“It is Finished”

It was done

Thirteen Thousand Five Hundred and Five



Thirteen thousand five hundred and five days
Three hundred million slaves
One power at the helm
Guided by Three (yet One)

Thirty seven years to realize
Whole-hearted souls materialize
Created by a masterful agenda
Guided by a Decree

Thirteen thousand eight hundred and seventy
What kind of man will I be
Forged by the forcible
Or managed by the Free

Thirty eight years coming so quickly
More and more seem sickly
Powers that be will be
I will look across the Crystal Sea

Sometimes are only Sometimes




Sometimes I'm not sure
Sometimes I'm not hopeful
Sometimes I feel it's over
-Sometimes-
Sometimes It feels helpless
Sometimes It seems impossible
Sometimes It's only black
-Sometimes-
Times are comin'
when the rain will fade
when the sun will break
and tears will be no more
-Someday-
Times are comin'
when death will be life
when pain will not be a word
and fears are a memory
-Someday-
 ...............
Sometimes are only Sometimes
but Someday will be forever
