The Word
I've tried many times
To leave you
Researched so I can get away from
You, as far as the West is to the East

Reason to the extreme
Question those who introduced
You to my ancestors
Because of the brutality

They've showed to my people
Yet I've noted that you're
Blameless, pure
Like a lamb you remained silent

Everytime I gaze at it
It strike me like that first sip
On a crack cocaine
The strike is none like any other

No matter how many times
I read your book a new revelation
Is unfolded to my dear eyes
But why those who channeled this?

Beautiful master piece are evil
Towards us, I know most threads,
They've removed to their benefits
In fact this very book was used

To conquer the world; was
Taken from Alkebulan
Kemet being the source
Ethiopia crying because an enemy

Was going to rob mankind using your words, showing no empathy
Why did you let this to prevail?
At your watch Jehovah!

Families were separated
Millions were raped, killed
This book was used to perform
Genocide at a large scale,

That men-kind has seen, without remorse
Yet when your gospel is preached
Songs taken from your source
It still gives me innate reflexes

What can I do as I'm caught in-between
The narrow and wider road
I know you're watching
But I'm confused Lord!

Your Shepherd needs direction
Like Moses when he was in the desert
Don't let me go to the wolf like Joseph
This load is too much to bear
