In a Sense

[Xavier]

This a two fold thread. The first part is about africans in america and how we deal with the pain of slavery and its remnant effects that exists today and how it relates to the Body of GOD. Second part is a poem about the same thing.

In the bible it says that we are to submit to our masters, government, and authority until the Lord comes to redeem/reward us for our faith in his coming to destroy all oppressive systems. I have always been at odds with these teachings because I have been given the gift to speak and write on the oppressive nature of this hell we live in.

I do understand the spiritual logic behind the teachings. It forces us to the highest form of actions in the Body of GOD. We are to go beyond our fleshy selves and defeat that need to take certain actions into our own hands. But we are also called to take up action to improve the system as best we can.A good example of this is the civil rights movement and the part that MLK played through the use of civil disobedience(let in be known that I also understand the use of "militant" actions by such groups as the black panthers, Black Liberation Army, etc).

I have to take my daughter to the park. i will finish my commentary later. Here is the poem.



In a Sense


Can you see
Can you see
what you've done to me and mine
Beaten from our African birth
we still hurt from the sting
of your cutting lashes
leaving the scars of self hate
With no identity to uphold
to emotion, money, and stuff we pray


Can you hear
Can you hear
the cries of a people in chains
Captive to this soulless System
Born to everyday lock down
giving blood in distant battles
and sweat for labor you don't own
We wrap our curse in music
listen to the sound of our prison moan


Can you feel
Can you feel
the love of a wayward heart my Lord
Forgive the questioning doubts
that is the imperfect human
Your Body is our Body
I submit myself for your Grace
I was lost and now I'm found
Beyond my senses is my faith

Certain people are raised up to speak against the System that oppresses them. The prophets can attest to that. But I do fulfill by obligation of turning the other cheek or working in a nation established by GOD(for all nations-everything-is of GOD), in a sense, by working for the fire dept. and as a personal trainer/lifeguard for a contruction battalion navy base. I balance it out by my writings, my own non-profit organization(EXODUS-which is the goal of the children), and helping whomever. I do serve those who are arms of this imperialistic nation. I live with this fact. But I am learning by hands on experience the nature of the Beast. I am also being trained in the art of forgiveness by working for this system and serving those who covertly and overtly subject the colored people of the world to their will. Regardless, I combat through guerilla warfare by all spiritual means-there are many ways to fight a war, kill em' with truth, kindness, and love. When the trumpet sounds, EXODUS.

My goals are the will of the Messiah. I seek the union of the Body of GOD with a true relationship with Yeshua/Jesus. I am driven to tell the truth laced with grace and love. Let not the hell of this land consume you because you research and learn the Truth of america. See with clear eyes and heart and pray on how to love regardless.


I absorb what I go through, what's placed in me, and what others tell me of their experiences and write on it. In the poem, "In a Sense" is me asking GOD if he knows of the hell that we are going through as africans/Israelites brought to this damnation (to live out our curse of Deut. and not accepting the Lord/Truth in human form and having to live a complete Lie of our existence). I know he does but I want an answer to my emotions as to why. I end the poem as I get my anger and frustration out by asking for forgiveness. For I know all is according to His/Our plan. But with me knowing these things does not stop the process of pain that we have for witnessings and going through what we do as imprisoned spirits. We must go through this. A Sword must be forged of fire. We have been prepared for the next sphere/level of existence. Stay strong.

GOD Bless to all the Body of GOD in all races, cultures, peoples of the Absolute.
