One Father, Two Sons, and the History That Divides Them

Dear Father Abraham,

I Know that Too Much Time has Past, Events Taken, and Choices Made that Forever Changed the Course of History.


I am a Son Not by Birth, but by Adoption, You See I Follow the Teachings of Your Son Yeshua.



A Man Who Came Long Ago, Was Crucified on a Tree between Two Criminals, and

    passed out microphone
        with a body nearby.
  inexcusable
soul —
       soulless satisfaction. . .
second death sold
  to the wandering whorl.

Descendant of Flames

These earthquakes come and go.
Awakening the anger within.
I drank the poison from the fire of your lies.
It burnt, but I kept drinking.
Because it's all I've ever known.

 Your color turned gray.
I struggle to the surface,
with an anchor the size of my guilt,
pulling me under the entire way up.
So full of life we once were.
When your

I, Descendant

Ancient texts and books have been written through the years,
thousands of years ago they came with fears;
from an alien world,
and from their space ship hundreds of males unfurled;
who looked like monsters from the underworld,
and human women had tears.

Those men came to mate to increase their failing race,
the women they would hunt down and chase;

Descendant

The old house was left
a wordless descendant
Ravines of cold air slide in through the cracks
Deadbolts are latched and keys have been hidden
Years of desertion have swallowed the years

An age old descendant; thunder bird wings darken cloudy skies.

What It's Like To Be a Descendant of a Slave

Born from a generation of mighty men
Conceived in love, raise by a queen
Driven from our home land 
Force to work deprived of knowledge,
Beaten to a pulp, slaves all are we 
Misunderstood taken for granted
Abused and used, our history hidden
A nation forgotten, people lost and confused
Strife and war, drugs and guns 
Handed to us too start
