Poem Title:
Poem
Have you ever had a problem That you needed to view from all angles In order for you to figure out How of it to untangle You might have to remove the ceiling Or take out a wall You might have to do some demolition Or simply reinstall Some will try to redecorate With some paint or a chandelier But that just covers up the problem And no solution has been made aware These ceilings have got to go So that now we may receive The blessings that God has for us So we can advance and achieve These ceilings have got to go So that we can progress as a community For there is greater prosperity if we move in unity Too many people fail to understand That their success Must be paid forward so that others In turn can be blessed The generations are not passing down Their knowledge nor any power We need to be a fountain pouring into others Letting our wisdom be a bountiful shower Let these ceilings be taken down So that we can help each other God has blessed you so that You can bless another We need to invest time to love And to nurture our young To pray, to talk and to walk with them Treat them as daughters and sons To carry each others stuff Thereby lightening each others load To be a help and not a hinderence As we unburden our souls If only to give someone a Metrocard So they can get to their new job To help pay an electric bill So that someone will have power still These ceilings have got to go We need to lift each other up To stop throwing shade, Stop the hate parades And in communion to sup To cease all the criticism And stop tearing each other down To encourage and empower each other So the love of God in us can be found These ceilings have got to go So that God's grace we can now clearly see To be like those 4 men who took their Paralyzed friend to Jesus working in unity
