Self-Love...The Origin of All Genuine Relationships

Self-Love...The Origin of All Genuine Relationships...

Our society is laden with a myriad of lies and myths, which people must immediately resist:

            We portray whites as good, and blacks as bad.

            Reds, yellows, and browns... we regard with dismissive frowns.

            Then, all proceed to take their places in society’s predestined spaces

                        On the spiraling ladder that society created.

In this cruel world, we place our children—our precious little God-sent blessings...

...Hearts, pure; minds, sublime; spirits, so divine;

Their beings... exuding majesty of God’s amazing mighty power!

And yet, as soon as black children absorb society’s programmed script;

            Their little lives are tarnished, warped... mere victims of these horrid tricks.

            Their destinies are famished, starved... by those who wish them only ill.

We must resist this awful scam that demon spirits have devised.

            They’ve targeted our children’s lives...overwhelmed their world with vicious lies.

            They know not the truth of their lives’ worth; they think they’re second best!

            They’ ve been convinced they are mistakes—

That their dark skin, their noses, lips...are dreadful, ugly, damning... traits.

                        

So, they’ve reverted to being second best,

To acting out, and ultimately, locked up in jails.

Our children now are outcasts, convicts, within the confines of their own native land.

We must teach them of our history—our sacred place in mankind’s story—

That Africa, the Motherland, is where God molded humankind.

He made us in His own image—dark skin, full faces, noses, lips...

Coarse, curly hair...the same as His;

            Strong, curvy frames with style and spirit,  for communing daily with Him...

                        with soul and depth and spiritual feeling.

                       

We must teach our children SELF-LOVE first,

to combat SELF-HATRED others instigate.

With SELF-LOVE, they grow and thrive... rise above the hate and lies...

...infuse the world with a healthy love that inspires hope in people’s lives,

And make this world a better place for everyone in the human race!

Our children must know that they’re not better—and certainly, not worse—

That we’re all one lovely human bouquet, all miraculously made,

All endowed by God to live and thrive—

To rejoice and be glad that we’re alive!

“Without SELF-LOVE, it is impossible to express a healthy LOVE for others.”

Strange Distinctions Within the White Race

Strange Distinctions within the White Race

Some whites are truthful, just...sincere;

            Trust worthy, kind and genuine...their motives...always pure!

While other whites are cruel, malicious, mean, and vile...unkind, to say the least—

Their wickedness reminds me of a venomous and vicious snake that slithers in the grass.

Their hearts are full of wrath and crap; their minds...stuck in the past.

            The lies that their ancestors taught control their entire lives.

They’re dreadful, heartless human beings, who live a fantasy—

A yesteryear...brutal and cruel...a time of slavery,                                                              When blacks were poor, and whites had wealth...were entitled to the best;                

 When these two worlds—one black, one white—distinct and far apart,                                

 Existed in complete turmoil... no hope of one accord.

But, other whites are different folks.  They learned well from the past.

They gave their hearts and souls to God...let Him control their lives.

They learned to love all humankind, to understand their needs;

They learned that blacks are, too, endowed with needs the same as theirs.

They know of slavery’s dreadful wrath...the pain and loss blacks felt;

And they will be the first to say, “We’re sorry for those days.

Now, we’re resolved to make this world, for all, a better place.”

They gladly join our President...are with him all the way;

For in their hearts, they understand he is a God-sent man,

Who cares for all of humankind.  His plan reflects his stand,

And for all people—blacks and whites—will build a better world.
