Poem Title:
Poem
in order to get back to Eden to live on top of the world there are a few things from God which need to be heard here in America in the democratic land of milk and honey African-Americans are disproportionate when it comes to power and money our healthcare is poorer, our finances worse, few of us in seats of power at the bottom of most demographic indicators and our circumstances diminish by the hour the most unemployed, the most discriminated, the first to be laid-off or dismissed more of us in jail, a lot of us illiterate, there are too many problems for me to list fewer marketable skills, fewest high school diplomas and don't mention college degrees African-American men in America need to take off their blinders and see to those who stand behind stained-glass windows and look down on those who have less you need to take your brothers back to Eden and put an end to all this mess you might not comprehend their reality but you should attempt to understand that as true servants of God you should help your fellow man if you consider yourself to be a true disciple of Christ what have you done to enrich someone else's life? who did you clothe? who did you feed? who did you minister to in their time of need? who did you mentor to on how to be a man? who did you talk to or stretch out your hand? there's a lot of work that needs to be done to get our brothers inspired we need to help them build a relationship with God and do as Jesus aspired in order to get back to Eden we need to start at the very beginning with the basic instructions that God is recommending to fellowship with your fellow man to develop a trust opposite to slavery's plan to communicate with positivity to no longer promote negativity to pull up your pants and walk like a man to be productive and not destructive to be supportive and not abortive to act like someone's father and not like you're being bothered to teach our brothers to put down the guns and take up the cross so they will no longer act like thugs but to think like a boss no longer will we be divided with jealous envy now united as brothers under God's authority getting back to Eden to be on top of the world to living our lives according to God's Holy word to get back to Eden and up from the basement of life living on top of the world as brothers with our savior Jesus Christ
