The PathLead me not to wander dear Lord
guide my footsteps amongst the
path of life.
Step by step as my journey beckons
up mountains down through valleys
keep me level in thy word.
Allow me to reach that glorious destination
where pain and sorrows are washed away
within the glory of your eternal love.

The BetMe and my god, we made a bet
and if I was right he’d clear me of debt
That pain was in-fact inherent to men
That hell was a place before their was sin
I spoke of war, what man’s will had brought
to Eden and Rome, the battles they fought
How freedom was gained when kindness was...

The Holy Land
The land is soaked in blood and tears
the hate is very old
Like all the ancient stories
in the Holy Bible told
Each vows to kill the other
asks their God to make it so
Their vengeance masked as prayers
consume the Holy Land of woe
No leaders can convince them
their hate like a disease
There is no cure for this old...

When Holy Hands Drop BombsWhat makes it okay to bomb a nation?
Kill so many who don’t have a station?
Destroy a country, cities and families?
Women, babies, children and men—all tragedies—
Who never chose this war… suffer again and again.
Across the globe, a catch twenty-two
Do what I say, not as I do.
What happened to the Fifth Commandment?,
In a world where religion is...

Piloting My Own CorpseThe world is quiet here
Yet growing louder by the day
Renting paradise from vultures
Split amongst two flavors of instability
I clamored and dreamed for that golden armor
That title that would cement my name in history
To be a "hero" to someone I'd lose contact with forever
Scars fade, and eternity is short
I saw my dreams given flesh
No gaps left...

When the church said pray it awayWhen the church said pray it away
When the church said pray it away
To the elderly woman
Who lost her whole family
Not from just a gun
But from the system holding one
She had prayed
And prayed
And prayed
For her family's safety
And do you know what God did
He committed the ultimate sin
He killed them
But
It was...

Who benefits from my belief?Who benefits from my belief?
Because the last I checked it wasn't me
I mean I am a black girl
Living In a racist misogynistic world
Because why would I worship a god who allowed my people to suffer
Yet caters to the needs of our oppressors
Allows them to call us s
Why would I believe
Why would...

The Third OptionThere was a dreary blip in my life
I feared two depressing outcomes
The first, hell
I separate myself from societal pressures
I accept who I am
I let go of all that abuse that has kept me who I was
I let go of hiding behind a hundred carefully tailored masks
Just so one may approve of me
But in return
I risk...

Identity and the Mirror of Consciousness
Before the emergence of consciousness,
we were a reflection of God.
Afterward, unable to perceive identity through internal reflection,
God became a reflection of us;
Consciousness splitting the mirror -
Two hemispheres asking: “Who are you?”
'but no mirror can reflect itself—
so in the fracture, identity becomes alienate,
externalized, some "Other".
Yet, even in this exile,
our human identity remains, only a single facet...

ABRAHAMS CHILDRENAbraham’s children the power of three. Grew like a big tree.
Some were weak and died off, others grew like a huge garden and made it all the way to the top.
Some were kind and loved each other, others killed and lived only for themselves.
God gave us his laws from Mount Sinai...

Temples of ProfitThey came with robes and golden rings,
Not to heal — but to own sacred things.
With Bibles bound in blood and silk,
They turned living water into poisoned milk.
Altars became ATMs,
Forgiveness priced in tithes and gems.
Salvation auctioned on Sunday screens,
While hungry mouths haunt shattered dreams.
They preach of heaven, sowing fear,
But drive their heaven in Bentleys near.
They claim...

God of the oppressorsI dont believe in God
Why would I?
No literally
Why? Would? I?
I dont believe
In this so called all loving being
That doesn't treat everyone equally
Because when has he ever helped black people
We never received equal treatment
At any point in history
He is all powerful but couldn't stop slavery
Or wouldn't
We are...

IrReligious MisEducationS/he is controversially counter-cultural
And yet,
MotherEartha defensively claims,
not so:
We grow trans-regenerational
transubstantiating substances
and subjects
to integrate more sacredly organic
Positive passions
re-connecting
re-membered past peak
pleasures restoring universal EarthJustice
and unitarian EarthMother peace.
I stand before you today
not to bury every conservative re-ligion
but to praise our natural SunGod history.
Rising from East
and setting West
indigenous mystery traditions,
re-ligiously enlightening experience
has always defended human longing
to more resiliently remain
