PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Where do I begin….how do I explain to a young child the deathly wages carried by sin when once the talk is over they flip on the television where they’re re-introduced to this life that many have become accustomed to…it’s almost like the world has gone crazy…preachers lying, people dying, and well-known political figures having outside babies…church folks acting shady, street folks trippin’ daily…how can the mind of a child wrap around the understanding of how we act…when the worth of a woman is determined by how quickly she lays on her back and not only that she’s then ridiculed and left alone to bear the pain of raising children on her own…constantly being labeled by society, talked about drastically as though she were nothing when she’s actually human like you and me, so where do we find the basis of this I am better than you mentality; in a world so corrupt it seems as if homosexuality is the new commonality, churches being built to support this reality and lifestyle…let me break it down through the eyes of a five year old child “You say I have mommy #1 and mommy #2…you say to call her daddy but how can I do that mommy when she looks just like you”…to me this child sounds confused; so what will be the outcome of his life growing up with this misconception of what he was taught is right…another lost soul trying to stand strongly on a shaky foundation not sure on which side to take hold and 21 years down the road he finally meets his daddy when he hops in the car with another man whose not a cabbie…when he looks at the young man he sees himself and loses all willpower because the only thing he was expecting was a little fun on the down low for the next hour…talk about a night gone sour; but on the other side of things you have a straight man who runs his household by the strike of his hand and is convinced that it’s okay because as a child that’s the only way he saw his mother and father communicate and it’s sad to say that this behavior will continue to replicate because we are burdened with the weight of so many uppity Christians who are afraid to associate themselves with the world…who will be left to teach our boys and girls? Where will they learn about creation and son-ship? Where will they learn the difference between abuse and a healthy relationship? Who’s going to tell them who to turn to when faced with hardship? I’m trying not to get emotional but it’s so hard to be sociable with beings who feel they are better than average people; but then I question, what is average; what is the definition of normalcy when we allow our walk as Christians to be led by hypocrisy? When you really look at it how do we expect to leave a legacy on this earth of ours when the only thing our young brothers are behind is a set of steel bars; I know some may feel that I have taken it too far but we’re not living in the day of the ancient…you see, God has become impatient as we sit complacent not interacting with the person whose adjacent to us; it is impossible to look up when on others you look down…how is it that you manage to smile and frown; It is left up to you and me to take more responsibility and better pave the way for our children to succeed…so now is the time to get uncomfortable, un-relaxed, and unsettled....right now is when we need to check back into reality.
