Come let's pray

#Come_let's_pray Bring me the drum, the world is losing shape, I wanna beat echoes of my forefathers, rekindle my roots to take course, Africa and the world needs spiritual intervention, now Take off my shoes, this journey is sacred, the sound from my drum wakes much more than anticipated, I hear prophets with tongues, pleading for hope and safety, The Rastafarians burning the cannibal, Islams and Hinduism both bowing up and down, Allah and Heil se lassie summoned my listening ear continues to vibrate as it receives sangomas clapping hands with respect , communicating the enough is enough message to the ancestors There's a backing of humming Christians , worshipping . Others kneeling while others standing, raising high their hands, pleading with the creator My hands intensifies on the drum, the beating impacts my surrounding, traditional healers, medical doctors, seers and fortune tellers, hand to hand like a chain , the problem connects us, Our differences invisible, all hearts dripping with pain, the sufferings pierces every blood dripping flesh, These murders, these sicknesses, the violence, hunger, poverty and all sorts of crimes against humanity, like a slave's back, tattooed with stripes from his masters cane, the blisters visible on all our faces, we are now forced to the prayer, come lets pray #Poetic_Ink
