Racism Part 2
Too much: Racism and prejudice and -isms
Too dark my black, too purple the berry
Too loud my laughter, too happy my merry
Too kinky my coily hair,
Too raw and accusing of my despair.
Too just my cry for Vindication,
Too much approved on High, my justification.
Too much calling out of racism.
Too wide the divide of the schism.
Too sharp my tongue against prejudice
Too intolerant to let anyone continue this.
Too loud my demands to be more than less of a human,
Shine the light on ugly history with 1000 lumens.
Too much pride, yet we also are not guiltless, for we became as the system been,
He will restore in due season.
Too much, now it is enough crying.
The climax of our restoration was tears of relief and rejoicing.
Too gentle a woman,
Too precious a child,
Too much poverty of the poor,
To fatherless the abandoned children,
Too lonely a widow
Too disabled
Too burdensome for the oppressed.
Too many-isms and prejudice.
We cry out, heaven roars,
Our tears are collected in God's bottle. From Heaven cometh our help.
He is the voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.
He will plead our cause before the oppressors.
Retribution was finally given to us and our predecessors.
Racism
Sexism
Classism
Ageism
Anyway you spin it, there is just too much hate,
Thanks be to our God, the Redeemer.
Come now, let us reason one to another,
Instead of enemies at odds, we conjoin together and call eachother…. Brother.
