Poem
The world is constantly changing People are steadily rearranging Life seems to be a gigantic nightmare Keep moving, but never getting there This country was built on the backs of slaves Our ancestors buried in unmarked graves Brought to a foreign land against our will Never given the opportunity to learn a skill A peaceful and moral People removed from their history Yet, today we still try to understand the mystery of the tragedy We’ve been dismissed and forgotten, for four hundred years The pain, abuse, and mistreatment has formed rivers of tears Placed our faith in a forgiving God Cast our prayers on bending knees In this current day, we’re still paying the costs Weeping may endure for a night, but joy will cometh in the morning I often ask myself, what have we done to deserve the disrespect and hatred Some people say associate with your own kind I say, God's purpose for humanity is coexisting together The ability to be a free thinker, opens up possibilities of exploration Imagination is the cornerstone of change That which will seem, not so strange Life is just a twinkling of the eye Use your time wisely and constructively, before it passes you bye Why is the world’s population so consumed with confusion? Probably because there's a fear of outside intrusion People are so caught up in their own bubbles Choosing to be closed off from trouble Society is a large metaphysical and scientific experiment Never examining the false analysis of an unconfirmed result People operating in a microcosm of individual perspectives There's no concern or interest for the care of your neighbors Unfettered, disruptive chaos, is being jammed down our throats People with uncaring hardened hearts, simply stand and gloat Systems created for order, guidance and leadership are mostly corrupt The strength of the mind is susceptible to brainwashing Some churches are caught up in the distortion of God's word There's only one true interpretation of the exigency of the word of life We don't live in a vacuum of silos, that will surely lead us into an abyss Time is near, closer than we know or expect it to be God is the one and only true breath of life on this earth and beyond Treat people the way you want to be treated, show love and give love Tomorrow is not promised, so live your best life right now, by example Because once the trumpet sounds, there will be no second chance or do over Uncertainty permeates worry, stress, anxiety, and a unstable foundation When you recognize cracks in your armor, repentance is the glue that seals Prayer warriors are our intercessors to the Father Use abundantly, the blessing of prayer, as the answer for this turmoil in the world Corruption in the world is blatant and in your face Remove yourselves from those shiny object spaces Let your understanding of right and wrong, be your standard bearer Open your mind to the choices of information, being clearer Trials and tribulations, hardships and unforced errors are the ingredients of living Why are these relevant thoughts being shared? Simply to bring to the forefront the perpetration of evil in the world Keeping our voices silent, makes each of us complicit co-conspirators We must ask the question, what did I contribute to this situation? None of us are living on an isolated island Chances are, the cause and effect of any circumstance rest at our doorstep Re-evaluate and Reexamine the steps you take in life You can be assured, if you allow God the freedom to order your steps in this world So much violence committed against the weak and vulnerable among us God says in His word, whatever you do to the least of these, you do also to Him Let those words sink into the depths of your consciousness of comprehension Why can't we all be our brothers keeper? As my mother use to say, you can attract more bees with honey, than you can with vinegar In other words, love conquers all and the world needs more of that resource Empathy, compassion, sympathy and understanding the plight of others can be transformative We are all responsible for and accountable for the actions we take Just because you don’t agree with a consensus response Doesn’t give you open season to attack your fellow citizens Violence proves nothing, only increases and sustains the dysfunction As cultural insensitivities are engaged in a cold civil war Many members in Congress are okay with this act, based on partisanship Half of the country’s population has lost its spine of courage Based on a major disconnect of abject disagreement While I ponder the ineffectiveness of a one size fits all methodology We have to understand and hopefully accept other perspectives Uncertainty is a mirage, prone to visual hallucinations Global strife and misdirection are prevalent across the world Life is like a switch and bate magic show Never being sure of what’s real and factual Information being disseminated through alternative news sources Different generations, too unconcerned to activate their own research Gaslighting is the mental drug of addiction, to propel the hook Together Everyone Achieves More (TEAM), is a solution of reason Agree or disagree with different opinions, your decision The context of these thoughts is not advocating for sameness Positivity is the catalyst to an unabridged sense of negativity Showing kindness and love to your neighbors is the death of hatred Ideally the world would be a much better place if it were perfect Let these words marinate in your psyche of consideration Author: Floyd Neal Date: January 8, 2025 Inspiration: Global Corruption, Deception, Chaos and Confusion
