Humanity

Humanity constantly is a let down

Why do we cause so many frowns?

Why is this world upside down?

Why is everyone insufferable?

Where’s the love? 

Where’s the compassion?

Where’s the ambition to change ourselves for the better?

In order to change, one can not remain the same

People go through the motions daily

I can’t seem to find authenticity anywhere

Where’s the “I got you and you got me” type of agape love.

We come from God but are nothing like him

He’s the only being that is true.

His love and his mercy transcends everything that we do.

But why don’t we act like him?

Why aren’t friends really friends?

Why isn’t family really family?

Why do we all try to fit in?

Why can’t we forgive each others sin?

Why do people get under our skin?

Why are mass shootings a thing?

Why can someone rain down death because they hate the way I’m made?

Is Black flesh that repulsing?

Why are people begging for food on the street?

Why is that mother of two homeless, when her country is wealthy?

Why is everyone judgmental and unkind?

Does anybody even truly love me and my mind?

Why do we suffer?

Why does the pain never subside?

Why does a heart take forever to heal?

How long will it take for mines to be fine?

Are these friendships even real?

Why is everything so readily accessible?

Social media has taken us by storm.

This generation is too burnt out to ask for more.

Does anybody know the reasons why?

The clouds seemingly hide the rainbows in the sky.

Why is it easier to cry, then letting someone know they hurt you despite their dense reason why?

Take me to a place far away from some of these people.

Far from these beliefs

Far from this pain

And far away from these mean-spirited, one dimensional souls that continue to be in reign.

Human beings deem success as the highest pinnacle

Shouldn't respect be there?

Or what about love?

Have we even said our prayers?

Have we taken what God made and destroyed it?

Is our yoke of bondage,

Just another point of annoyance?

Or are we feeding a life that’s rooted in turmoil?

That causes pain

That causes death

That costs us our children’s blood at our own doorstep.

Will we ever reach the top?

Not in credit but in re-dedication,

To the powers that lie within.

Will we let God heal the land before we try and do it ourselves?

Can we give up control?

Can we just let go?

Can we be keepers of one another’s souls?

I sure do hope so, my friend.

I hope we find peace, refuge, and comfort in the end.
