In His Image I was Made

Poem #13

It is not up for debate

As I continue to pontificate

Against all forms of hate

That causes many to hurl

As they throw up my words

But just in case you haven’t

Heard

I am not kneeling down and

Praying to that White

Porcelain God or the

One with the blonde hair

And blue eyes

Are the images that I despise

And further perpetrates the lie

Of the things they are selling

That I refuse to buy and is why

I refuse to subscribe to their lies

Because if I am made in the image

Of he, than it stands to reason

That the God that assembled me

Should resemble me

Now religious scholars holler out

Treason

As my rhetoric is the reason they

Want to kill me

As they outline my crimes

Saying my words go against

The church-Heresy

They also say my words

Are a sin against God- Blasphemy

And that my

Acceptance and Repudiation

Of these images they portray-Apostasy

As my Apostasy exposes their Hypocrisy

So logically it makes sense why

They want and need for me to die

Why?

Because I expose this lie and

Other lies

When I continuously speak out

About the atrocities and the

Misinformation that the

World is facing

There is no escaping me

As I am

Tracing the truth all

The way through history and

Before Christ- B.C.

And After Death- A.D.

Jesus wasn't white, but Jesus was not black either..... He was Hebrew, which means he much more closely resembled an Middle Easterner.
As they are actually apart of the same family tree.

"Because if I am made in the image of he, than it stands to reason that the God that assembled me
should resemble me."

This is such a great line. God made ALL men in his image, but what so many people miss about that verse is that it is also about the soul. It is not as literal as people think.
This is a really great piece!
