God calls His people to worship Him
to bow our hearts in deep devotion
giving Him His due for all He's done
such perfect love indeed poetry in motion

Consider all that Jesus has done
being God equal with the father divine
redeeming His own by His precious blood
removing our sin...

Privilege
When the privilege first was given
When it was still crisp and new
When it had all others craving
For which is granted a small few
Then you reveled in its status
’Cause it gave you eminence
Yes, you teased with your position
And you reeked of confidence
You would make sure that...

The dawn arrived

And

I am still here:

       Standing

           Breathing

               Watching

Imagine that there is something beyond imagination

an oxymoron of course but a real task nevertheless

There may be no God not even spirituality suffices

but the whole is much greater than the sum of all parts


The Universe grants freedom from self-righteousness

offers me to let go off megalomanic...

These words that I write will cause quite a stir.
Taken out of context can be seen as a racial slur.
I grew up and live where people are predominantly white.
I have not witnessed first hand the black man’s plight.

I can travel anywhere without any fear.
Even if...

I have never been arrested,
abused, discarded, neglected.
All because someone protested,
it’s my color they detested.

I have always been protected, 
accepted, respected, vested.
Civil rights never molested,
my freedom never contested.

No one has ever suggested,
because I’m black I’m now suspected.
To be so badly infected,
that it cannot be corrected.

Let this...

Amazing grace of God caused me to have a new name in glory
Thru His work at the cross at Calvary, I have blessed assurance
Constantly abiding am I in the solid rock midst worry
Day by day, I’m dwelling in Beulah land of great exuberance. 

Thru His...

Dad 
born into white hot poverty  
eldest son of an adulterous drunk
abandoned
man of the house at five
white privilege.
His step father , also a booze bunny and bigot to boot...

he went to vocational school
like all poor boys did back in the day
white privilege....

You've lived a nice life
with little you have to fear.
Those few moments
you felt a twinge of fear,
you had the good luck,
or the good sense,
to retreat,
and you breathed
a deep sigh of relief, 
and maybe,
for a good moment,
you reflected,
on your good fortune
not to be born among those...

Oh! How I long for that
one sweet moment of
loneliness, when the human race
decides to piss off, leaving me
to wallow in my own
company.
The pressurized world,
the ceremonious
corporate reciprocates, one’s
space to foul, with flouting
flagrant farts! Creating
thunderous turmoil, a
chaotic state of mind,
a wind of prevalent
change.
Innocent minds, virgin thoughts
collective breeding...

½ cup sass
1 tbsp eye roll
2 cups suprirotive 
1 cup white privilege 
½ tsp rudeness
1 brand new car, softened 
5 oz brand name clothing
A dash of allof, to taste 

Add all ingredients together, while whisking in misinformed news media. Mix thoroughly for pretentious....

The fancy degree from a world famous school
set in a frame that’s worth more
than the paper on which it’s printed
all the awards
the accolades
none of it has taught you
the lessons I learned long ago
before either of us could even read or had ever heard 
of Shakespeare...

How might Earth's underground narrative
of a sacred Tree
speak most profoundly
of old growth economic
and political
environmental trauma?

A question I forgot to ask
when I was younger
and more disabled
and WhiteMale monotheistic

How might even Republican Red MotherTrees
avoid secularized Self-serving
by Capitalizing Other-undeserving

Instead of
separating and unequalizing
retributive justice disvalues
pimped by StraightWhiteMonoTheisticMale privilege
to criminally...
