The word

In the beginning was the word

And the word gave love

Walking with the poor

Sheltering the mass with hope

Till

These few altered the path

Creating these words

That grew legs that moved

Even a mouth that spoke

That learned to weave lies

Spreading the illusion that

Sparked from these few words

That traveled from East to West

Covering North to South

Bringing forth these shadow

That trapped the children of life

Running with these few words

That had now grown wings

And traveled through air

Creating these humans

That now formed slavery

From this feeling of power that rose

In the words that came

In the form of “Jesus is white”

From these words they drew this image

In the form of this white male

They branded “JESUS”

Giving volume to the mendacity

Of these words that came with this image

Developing this genesis

That stood in the rise

Of this false truth

Building these endless

Self made prisons

All in the name

Of searching for this inner peace

Within this image

Responsible for the manifestation

Of these humans that defied

The laws of nature

Branding themselves

The superior race

Shadowing the truth

That came before this image
