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.”
By Theressa G. Wesley, 11:33 p.m., 3-24-13
