AFRO AMERICAN IS MY NATIONALITY, BUT A CHILD OF GOD IS MY CLAIM TO FAME
I'ts February, Black History Month, time to reflect on our many victories.
Acts we've accomplished and completed for the Black Race to go down in History.
I'm going to reflect on some of these battles, and try to include the dates.
Battles to ensure our rights as a people in this place called the United States.
In 1955, Rosa Parks refused to move to the back of the bus.
Just so the common courtesy of first-come-first-served, could also include us.
In 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. marched on Washington to prophesize.
He delivered the famous speech"I Have A Dream", and won the Noble Peace Prize.
A speech that breaks down to one question, "Can we all just get along"?
For Blacks in a world of separate not equal, we had to put the gloves on.
Also in the 1960's, our children of Greensboro N.C. picked up the gloves and protested.
They had a sit in at a lunch counter until they were served or arrested.
So today I ask myself, what have I contributed to our Quest?
I haven't marched, refused to move, or even protested none the less.
Am I excepted or respected by all on my daily task?
Am I considered equal, just common courtesy is all I ask.
After all the battles and wars my people had to endure for these so-called victories.
Why are we still fighting the same wars, and just clinging to these memories.
So I ask myself the question, "Who's exception do I seek"?
Who can alter my future, and change this situation that seems so bleak?
Then I raise my eyes above and I know what my contribution should be.
To tell someone who feels oppressed, about my Savior you see.
If you feel you're losing the battle, and you're at your whit's end.
Remember you're a Child of God, you were born to win.
When they pull away their hand when you try to pay for your goods.
Just say, "God bless you", like a Child of God should.
For God has no favor of persons, he blesses whom he chooses.
Make sure you're walking righteous, not like that fool who loses.
Don't worry about the person who doesn't like the color of you skin.
For that is just a test, and exam you will ace once again (one moe gen)
For we as a people know all the prejudice we must face.
Consider Jesus what he endured in this worldly place.
"This battle is not yours", is what we often say.
Thank God for the victory, and give it to him today.
You're fighting a losing battle from a world you expect to be just.
Over 200 years of recorded history still in the System you trust.
Children of God, the World System was not meant for you.
So why are you trying to fit in, and do what they do?
Seek exceptance where it counts, from the Author and Finisher of your fate.
And watch the Worldly cry "Save Me", as you walk through the Pearly Gates.
"Get in where you fit in", and we know it's not the World System.
Go where you belong, Child of God, beside Jesus in God's Kingdom.
