The Poetry of Ruth - Pg 9
I Pray for the People of Sudan and Chad
I pray for the women raped and marked
by the cruelties of evil man
who reek with wanton guile
to take this land of Chad and Sudan
I pray for the fathers killed at will
torn from families - their wives and children
by the treachery of greed
of a corrupted seed
I pray for the mothers brutalized and shamed
divided families seeking refuge
from the storms of this ugly world violence
for plots of personal gain
I pray for those stormed by this ravaged plague
of men filled with the darkness of evil's plight
I pray God will banish from the land
this unholy rage by God's Holy Hand -
by His Holy Might
I pray the locust will swarm and sting his eye
I pray the wind will rise up in force
an blind his bloody path
to send him packing to hell's fury of fire
I pray for a miracle of Holy God
to bring down the strongholds that causes this pain,
this anguish, this ungodly shame
I pray God will stop this terrible darkness reign
I pray in Jesus Name
that my prayers be lifted up to God's throne of mercy
and do the impossible by His Mighty Hand
to shatter the devil's plan
and rid his treachery in Chad and Sudan
I pray God, please turn back this tide
of lawless insurgent terroristic genocide
and send help to the needy, open hearts to see
that this melee is despised and displeasing to Thee
I pray God will bind up the broken-hearted,
give rest to the weary souls
and make peace to run like rivers of blessed joys,
instead of spilled blood of the innocent girls and
To give hope and build new lives,
dry up the tears from the widows eyes,
and bring about a new day to unfold,
a new godly nation to take hold
I pray God will give the people a new name
to the glory of the Messiah Jesus reign
For You have given Him authority over all flesh
as in John 17 it is proclaimed
Dear Abba Father I pray
let this be a day of reckoning
for those who do this slaughter
and bring his bones to dust and mortar
Hear the prayer of Your beloved daughter
Bless this land of Chad and Sudan with Your Word so dear
which speaks of Your power to make wars cease
and bring peace to the ends of the earth,
which burns the shield with fire
and break th bow and shatter the spear
I pray the Lord Almighty be with them
The God of Jacob their fortress
and deliver them from this duress
and bring them out to glorify Him
I exalt You among the nations
O great and awesome God
Do the exceeding,
do the abundant I pray from my heart
Amen.

Niggas Be Niggas_
Niggas
Are what they are
Niggas.
Niggas wanna be niggas.
Niggas act like niggas.
Niggas talk like niggas.
That's what they choose to be.
A nigga being a nigga
Brings on his own destiny.
His carriage is his frame.
And his own voice
Speaks his name.
A man will speak to a woman
By saying, "Hello."
A nigga will "holla at ya."
Wanna know where you goin'
Can he get wit'cha,
Or just plain, "Yo."
A nigga lets his eyes
Follow behind your behind like it's a gold mine -
Wantin' to get up in'nere.
Niggas talk nasty
Act nasty
Look nasty -
His eyes a lustful stare.
Niggas put his hand between his leg bone
And grabs at his crotch all day long.
Slinking through the street -
His pants dragging at his feet.
He wears his nigga coat
Like it's pure bred sable
"Fuck I'ma Muthafuck"
is his designer label.
Niggas cuss his motha
An shoots his brotha,
Pmps his sista's name
As if it was his claim to fame.
Niggas gotta be paid
Without givin' up nut'un
"Cause that's the way
Be the "pop dat" culture
Of the "hip hop" glutt'un.
Nigggas' raps and rhymes tell his own story.
Niggas act like buffoons
With antics of baboons and coons
As if it's his crownin' clownin' glory.
Old men be old brokedown niggas.
Young dudes lookin' like hoody niggas.
Young boys being lil' niggas -
Patterning after the bigga niggas.
Niggas gotta be niggas
If that's where he's at.
Niggas be niggas
Like it's a natural fact.
"Yo my nigga," is his phrase.
"Nigga nigga nigga," his radio plays.
Tell a man don't be a nigga,
And he'll shoot you down.
Tell him being a nigga is being a clown,
And the nigga who wants to be a nigga,
Will knock you to the ground.
So let the niggas be niggas
If that's his choice.
Every man chooses with his own voice.
The nigga word used for discriminent disgust
Has been brought to bear endearment and trust.
So what's the fuss!
Niggas gotta be niggas if he must.
If that's what he say he is.
Nigga gotta be a nigga - if the name is his.
A nigga -
Birthed by the curse of the devil accuser.
Living the life of a born-again loser.
"Cause niggas don't care
How he live or die.
He don't care
What he gotta do to get by.
"To be...or not...to be...a nigga"
Is he choice to make.
Niggas being niggas serves his own death plate.
From his own self-hate.
It's his own soul to forsake...and rot.
It's up to him to come awake...
Or not -
To be....a nigga.
(Take it or leave it - the poet speaks!)
