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!)
