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
