Race of the Races'

I’m black

mixed with, chips and salsa, love, joy, peace, and ...BLACK! 

However that’s all under attack

by people whose security is something they lack. 

Some people have said to me

“Sharesse you have privileges that we’ll never have access to”.

Yet they don’t understand all the hoops that I jump through.

To some,

I’m not black enough for my own kind

yet too black for those who have closed minds. 

I gotta do tricks with my hair,

and continually spit lines

that always rhyme

In order to stay relevant

in these last days

the end times. 

Well enough is enough!

Enough of you sayin that my black isn’t black enough,

enough of them sayin that my black isn’t good enough

and enough of that man saying that this country isn’t great enough,

because this country is great enough… 

It’s not great because we’re great.

it’s great because God is great

and greatly to be praised

He created each one of us

and sent us to show others the way.

He has called us to himself

and then sent us out to help

those who are hurting and lost

however that mission seems to have been placed on the shelf

while we deal with this race over here....

This race of the races’

who will finish first?

Well my God said

the first shall be last, and the last shall be first

it’s Matthew 20:16

you can look up the verse.

This race of the races serves only to distract us

causing division and strife

makin everybody just act up.

While the enemy stands by watching,

seeking to devour

his hands are steadily working every second of every hour

to rob us of our gift, God’s all mighty power.

God’s gift is for all

He has broken the curse,

whether you arrive late to the game

or you’ve been saved since birth.

We can’t allow distractions to rob us of our worth,

we must take back what was stolen and allow greatness to be birthed.

Whether red, black, yellow, white, or even light brown

all inhabit this earth

and will someday be buried in the same ground 

We are bone of his bone

and flesh of his flesh,

we are all made in his likeness

and God knew what was best. 

But...sin got the best of us

thankfully Jesus died to save all of us

now if we could only get over being held under,

we could all truly benefit from the blessings he has for us. 

Surrender to the Father

and give all that you are

allowing his ways to become your ways

I promise life will be better by far. 

May we end this race of races’

and start seeing faces,

spreading love to one to one another

like it’s something contagious
