                   In The Season of Truth

                   (A Black History Month Reflection)

 

                        “…ye have been with me

                                        from the beginning…when

                                        he, the Spirit of truth, is come,

                                        he will guide you into all truth:..”

                                        --John 15:27 & 16:13

 

                        You shall know the truth

                        and the truth shall set you free.

 

                        What is the truth but that which

                        was and can never be a lie?:

 

                        It was on a dark continent

                        where man first saw the light

                        of day in the beginning.

 

                        You shall know the truth

                        and the truth shall set you free.

 

                        There is no small wonder

                        that Napoleon would honestly

                        utter that “History…[their story]

                        was…the lie agreed upon.”:

 

                        The lie that overshadowed Ourstory;

                        the lie that was a stolen legacy…

                        a legacy of stolen plagiarized greatness

                        shrouded in Greek and Roman tales;

                        fashioned to spoil the moral fruits and seeds

                        of the Nubian tree of civilization:-

 

                        You shall know the truth

                        and the truth will set you free.

 

                        Come my people, let us now live

                        in the season of truth—the season

                        of God’s will: the time to truth:-

                        The appointed time has arrived;

                        truth is being revealed: feast on it!

 

                        You shall know the truth

                        And the truth will set you free.

“…ye have been with me from the beginning…when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth:..” --John 15:27 & 16:13 You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. What is the truth but that which was and can never be a lie?: It was on a dark continent where man first saw the light of day in the beginning. You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. There is no small wonder that Napoleon would honestly utter that “History…[their story, was]…the lie agreed upon.”: The lie that overshadowed Ourstory; the lie that was a stolen legacy… a legacy of stolen plagiarized greatness shrouded in Greek and Roman tales; fashioned to spoil the moral fruits and seeds of the Nubian tree of civilization. You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free. Come my people, let us now live in the season of truth—the season of God’s will—the time to truth. The appointed time has arrived; Truth is being revealed: Feast on it! You shall know the truth And the truth will set you free.
