Words In Action


 

ONE.

 

We are all the same,

Made by the same Creator.

 

WHOLE.

 

Crafted.

Alike in His Image.

 

TOGETHER.

 

Precious.

Knit in my mother's womb.

 

PAID

 

Bought,

At the expense of one.

 

OPTION

 

Pain.

Life or Death

 

LOVE

 

Sacrifice.

Given to everyone.

 

HOPE

 

Foothold.

Glimpse to the future.

 

These are the stepping stones,

to understanding our world.

To some, we are foreign

Enemies

Hethans

Demons

Slaves to the Devil.

However created,

In their eyes

Not equal.

All bought

With the same

Blood,

But separated

From God's love.

Hated,

Talked about,

And bullied.

Preached to.

Discriminated against.

Why?

Because we believe

In parallel line

Different

From the black and white ones

Today.

Freedom

The expression of one's self

Liberty

Proud to be who you are

Happiness

The golden ticket

Forged

Unalienable rights

We were born

With them.

Democracy

America's foundation

The right,

To be heard.

Interpreted.

The Law.

The Bible.

Opinions

Entitled

Everyone has one

Judgement

Passed without facts

But lasts a lifetime

Moral

What's right.

What's wrong.

Prejudice

Because we're not normal

Not average.

Acceptance

The real issue.

The Flaw

Intelligent interpretation of

Right and wrong.

Solution

Live in peace

All have fallen short.

The spec still flickers,

In your eye.

Sin

Born into it

The reason

He paid it all.

Came

For the weak

For the broken,

Not the holy

Not the chosen.

ALL

What we gave

UNITED

What we became.

FINAL

God's eternal righteous justice

BORN

Into Death

DIE

Into Life

 

COMPLETE.
