Here To Stay

We always gon be here, forever a Jesus thorn in the enemy’s side We ain’t never gon stop, to the heavens, giving our plaintive cries Having to cup those adder ears, just make Satan’s soldiers so mad Proud Bashan bulls stamp your feet on the vanquishing ground Snort, and give the death war sound Kill the downtrodden with a drop bomb machine gun pound Scatter us remnants to the four winds, sending our refugee pain all around But those genocidal practices won’t stop us from flourishing We be here to stay! The meek poor always gon have the last inherited say

Yes, the poor will never disappear from the Earth---for we ignore God's will! If we would only remember and take care of the widow, the orphan, the poor, and the stranger---then, yes! poverty would, indeed disappear. (Check out the applicable Old Testament Verses). But sadly, we don't. And it flourishes, a curse on society's potential...Thanks, Freddie, for such a thought-provoking pen! Best always, Gershon
