Poem
where are the voices of the churches in the midst of this economic uncertainty? where are the spiritual leaders the moral compass of society? it seems that since the Rev. Dr. M.L. King died so has the fight for social injustice what I want to know is why the leaders of the church seem to be sitting on the fence? they seemed more concerned about building a new church while their members are in a financial lurch it's time to restart the movement by speaking truth to those in high positions to let the Rebuplicans and Tea Party know it's not just them who can make decisions we need to talk to our youth and tell them of what we've survived and endured from slavery to the Depression now to this Recession that is closing down doors they say they want smaller government when in actuality they want to reduce the numbers of minorities getting decent salaries for the government be it Fed, City or State is the largest employer of the Black, Hispanic and Minority middle class structure now they're going after the Unions trying to get rid of their collective bargaining tool also reducing or cutting federal dollars to state universities and historic Black schools how will our children ever be able to afford higher education? connect the dots and see that it's a process of marketability elimination WAKE UP MY PEOPLE why can't you see what the Republicans are trying to do to the middle class families so what are we waiting for? why have the churches not spoken out? what are we waiting for? are the churches in denial and doubt? it's time for the churches to step up to the plate to speak out against what the Republicans are attempting to propagate we now have an African-american man as President of this great land yet the African-american church has yet to publically take a stand we have not adminsihed those who belittle him and keep trying to take him down we have not publically supported him nor have we made a sound what are we waiting for? can't you see the writing on the wall? if we don't act nor fight back we will all take the fall what are we waiting for? it's time for the movement to restart for us to be like the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther king Jr. we need to do out part
