One Bold Black Soul

often in the grand scheme of God's desires He will use mankind to do what He requires His providential purposes God's master plans will utilize any and all types of man the Pharoah declared a most horrendous decree of infanticide on Jewish male babies to put them to death to keep their numbers down fearful of having too many Jewish males around but history has a way of repeating itself again and again as the young Black male populations today hangs by a fringe with incarcerations, police brutality and killing each other we're on the verge of eradicating our young Black brothers a supposed threat to society that same old racist mentality yet all it takes is for God to send someone to be bold one person unafraid to break away from the mold over 400 years of praying and keeping hope alive a people once in slavery but today they now thrive from Moses to Jeremiah to the Rev. Dr. King to President Barak Obama God can change anything One Bold Black Soul to say what needs to be said One Bold Black Soul whose life is spirit-led don't let the world compromise your moral integrity let prayer be the tool you use to claim the victory you need some solitude to simply reflect on that which God desires of you and what of you He expects God will be what you want no matter what you need and He will do whatever is needed to help you succeed so walk in the spirit and just wait for your time and be ready to act when God gives you a sign to be called into place with God's saving grace Jeremiah told the people of the prophecy about their demise if they confront their enemy he was then thrown into a pit full of mud and slime his death to be a certainty in a very short time but One Bold Black Soul stepped up to the plate and told the King to save Jeremiah before it was too late One Bold Black Soul an Ethiopian man told of the soldiers diabolical plans to be bold, to be risky, to be resilient in your resolve to step out of your comfort zone until the problem is solved from Rosa Parks to Medgar Evers to Malcolm X to do what is prevalent and not what society expects creative in courage, inspired with innovation by any means necessary to change the situation One Bold Black Soul willing to step out on a limb to stop history from repeating itself once again
