DEDICATED TO BLACK HISTORY

PRAISE THE LORD EVERYBODY.FEBRUARY IS BLACK HISTORY MONTH FOR ALL OF US WHETHER YOU ARE BLACK OR NOT. WE AS A COUNTRY NEED TO KNOW ,WHAT HAS MADE AMERICA GREAT? I CAN TELL YOU THAT RIGHT AWAY, ITS THE DIVERSITIES OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAS MADE THIS VAST MELTING POT GREAT. NOT ONE RACE OF PEOPLE ,BUT EVERYBODY, THE BLACKS, WHITES, BROWNS, REDS, AND YELLOWS, AND ALL THOSE IN BETWEEN COLORS IS WHAT MAKES OUR COUNTRY GREAT, BUT WE NEED TO STOP HAVING POWER STRUGGLES, WE NEED TO TEACH OUR CHILDREN ; THAT THERE ARE NO SUPERIOR OR INFERIOR "RACES', WE ARE ALL CREATED EQUALLY", WE ARE MADE IN THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD, SO WE LOOK LIKE HIM, NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, WHAT COLOR YOU MAYBE. WE ALL LOOK LIKE GOD, IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT , LOOK IN THE BOOK OF GENESIS, SO MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS NO MATTER WHERE YOU COME FROM, WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE, WE ALL LOOK LIKE "JEHOVAH GOD ", THE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE, THE FATHER OF ALL MANKIND, MY GOD, YOUR GOD, IN COLLUSION LET US LOVE ONE ANOTHER, NOT JUST THOSE FOLK WHO YOU CAN IDENTIFY WITH BUT THOSE WHO LOOK AND ACT DIFFERENTIALLY THAN YOU. WE ARE ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS, CAME FROM THE SAME MOTHER AND FATHER. ADAM AND EVE.
IN CONCLUSION, I WANT TO INCLUDE THIS LITTLE POEM, THAT'S ALSO A DIALOGUE WITH GOD. HOPE YOU ENJOY, BE BLESSED, LOVE ALL OF YOU.

LORD, LORD, WHY DID YOU MAKE ME BLACK?

WHY DID YOU WANT SOMEONE THE WORLD WOULD TRY TO HOLD BACK?

• BLACK IS THE COLOR OF DIRTY CLOTHES, THE COLOR OF GRIMY HANDS AND FEET ...
• BLACK IS THE COLOR OF DARKNESS, THE COLOR OF TIRE-BEATEN STREETS.
• WHY DID YOU GIVE ME THICK LIPS, A BROAD NOSE AND KINKY HAIR ???
• WHY DID YOU MAKE SOMEONE WHO RECEIVES THE HATRED STARE ?
• BLACK IS THE COLOR OF THE BRUISED EYE WHEN SOMEONE GETS HURT. BLACK IS THE COLOR OF DARKNESS, THE COLOR OF DIRT.
• HOW COME MY BONE STRUCTURE'S SO THICK, MY HIPS AND CHEEKS ARE HIGH ???
• HOW COME MY EYES ARE BROWN AND NOT THE COLOR OF THE DAYLIGHT SKY ?
• WHY DO PEOPLE THINK I'M USELESS? HOW COME I FEEL SO USED?
• WHY DO PEOPLE SEE MY SKIN AND THINK I SHOULD BE ABUSED ?
• LORD I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND. WHAT IS IT ABOUT MY SKIN?
• WHY IS IT SOME PEOPLE WANT TO HATE ME AND NOT KNOW THE PERSON WITHIN ??
• BLACK IS WHAT PEOPLE ARE "LISTED" WHEN OTHERS WANT TO KEEP THEM AWAY.
• BLACK IS THE COLOR OF SHADOWS CAST. BLACK IS THE END OF THE DAY.
• LORD YOU KNOW MY OWN PEOPLE MISTREAT ME AND I KNOW THIS JUST AI NT RIGHT.
• THEY DON'T LIKE MY HAIR, THEY SAY I'M TOO DARK OR LIGHT.
• LORD DON'T YOU THINK ITS TIME TO MAKE A CHANGE? WHY DON'T YOU RE-DO ME AND CREATION AND MAKE EVERYONE THE SAME ???
• GOD'S REPLY
• WHY DID I MAKE YOU BLACK ? WHY DID I MAKE YOU BLACK ?
• GET OFF YOUR KNEES AND LOOK AROUND. TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE?
• I DIDN'T MAKE YOU IN THE IMAGE OF DARKNESS, I MADE YOU IN THE LIKENESS OF ME. I MADE YOU IN THE COLOR OF COAL FROM WHICH BEAUTIFUL DIAMONDS ARE FORMED. I MADE YOU IN THE COLOR OF OIL, THE BLACK GOLD THAT KEEP PEOPLE WARM. I MADE YOU FROM THE RICH , DARK EARTH THAT CAN GROW THE FOOD YOU NEED.YOUR COLOR IS THE SAME AS THE BLACK STALLION, A MAJESTIC ANIMAL IS HE. I DIDN'T MAKE YOU IN THE IMAGE OF DARKNESS. I MADE YOU IN THE IMAGE OF ME. ALL THE COLORS OF THE HEAVENLY RAINBOW CAN BE FOUND THROUGH OUT EVERY NATION. WHEN ALL THESE COLORS WERE BLENDED, YOU BECAME MY GREATEST CREATION. YOUR HAIR IS LIKE LAMB'S WOOL, SUCH A HUMBLE CREATURE IS HE. I'M THE SHEPHERD WHO WATCHES THEM. I'M THE ONE WHO WILL WATCH OVER YOU. YOU ARE THE COLOR OF THE MIDNIGHT SKY, I PUT STAR'S GLITTER IN YOUR EYES. THERE IS A SMILE HIDDEN BEHIND YOUR PAIN, THAT WHY CHEEKS ARE SO HIGH. YOU ARE THE COLOR OF DARK CLOUDS FORMED WHEN I SEND MY STRONGEST WEATHER. I MADE YOUR LIPS FULL SO WHEN YOU KISS THE ONE YOU LOVE, THEY WILL REMEMBER.YOUR STATUE IS STRONG, YOUR BONE STRUCTURE THICK TO WITHSTAND THE BURDEN OF TIME...THE REFLECTION YOU SEE IN THE MIRROR, THE IMAGE THAT LOOKS BACK IS ....M-I-N-E

BE BLESSED, MINISTER GL. MORRISON
