THE WAR OF REVELATION

As you wonder about life coming from the ghettos;

You see junkies and rock-head dwellers;

Survival of the fittest every day is a trail;

Youngsters growing up so innocent and fragile;

After submitting to the oath and the constitution with a crowd;

You would think you were a part of the unified nation feeling so proud;

But sometimes you are confronted with racism and the heirarchial chain of classism;

Blacklisted and placated with sarcasms and cynicalism, your feels became foreign;

The darker you are the bigger the problems;

Placed into the revelation of the biblical scriptures as soldiers reaching for the stars;

You noticed Asia, Africa, Europe, France, Japan, Pakistan, America, and Afghanistan;

All fill with vengeance, hatred, and resentment for their fellow men;

Protestants, Jews, Blacks, Arabs call the truce! World Peace... Stop the killing;

Machine guns, bombs, and tanks we are becoming endangered species;

Harmful to ourselves we are the products of our own absences shattered in pieces;

Since the beginning of time we have been in arms fighting;

losing lives while the Pentagon keeps rising;

We must remember that we are God's children;

The earth was never made to be ruled by one race;

To all colors and creeds that's who it belongs;

We crave lands, mansions, glitters, and golds;

Diamonds in Africa and oil under our control;

The world's natural resources and all its residuals;

But comes then the foes... We have to guard them with missiles;

Now we have become the most wanted;

Who will come and save us form our self-destructive vesssels?

THE EXISTENCE

Can you recall when the earth was your couch and the heavens your canopy;

beneath your feet rivers ran steep into streams of crystal like hormany;

From a picturesque height a beautiful landscape circumvents your anatomy;

The world of the sole creator expressed his covenant to those who he considered greater;

Higher than we, you were recon to be their elevator;

A single atom to them, you were endowed with emotions;

An overstanding of the inner and outer portion of the highest and lowest devotion;

The power of will and choosing became the attribute of your composition;

The ability to have mastery over your fortune and nature;

A liken to your own architect, we were the greater power of our initial intellect;

Having the privilege to be a vicegerent, we were blessed with the acts of pure fulfillment;

The Lord and owner of our own face, we became the reflection of grace;

Not understanding the reason for our existence, we were classified by our holistic pairs as being misfits;

filled with preconceived mischief;

Miseducated about the meaning of our being, they accepted our birth with every inkling faith;

with the trust of their hearts, all that they knew were good;

Thus they acceded and bowed down their angelic wings to fate.
