I PRAY

Our Father
Who art in Heaven
Hallowed by thy Name

I pray
You have mercy on us

I pray
You look down on this earth
and save this world for what it's really worth

Father

Teach us to love You
Teach us to love ourselves
Teach us to love our fellowman

Help us to overcome the challenges of temptation
Give the poor an opportunity, the tools, and resources
for a better education 

Father

I pray
During these trying times, You let Satan flee from us all
Give us the strength to keep going, so that we can stand tall

For we know with evil, lies mass confusion and devastation
Bless us with the free gift of Salvation

I pray
You watch over all the children throughout this world and
let them be the leaders You would have them to be

Father

Give us parents the ability and wisdom to raise, and to love
our children

I pray
You be a Healer to all the sick

A Provider to all the poor

A Defender to the unjust

A Protector against all evil

A Savior to those, who aren't saved

Father, I pray

For true love

For true happiness

For true peace

For You are not a God of strife
But a God, who is the way, the truth, and the life

I pray
You be with those, who strayed away from You

For the way back home, please, help them to find 

I pray
For true fellowship amongst all Mankind

All of this, I pray and ask
in the Holy and Precious Name of Jesus the Christ our
Lord and Savior

Amen, Amen!, and Amen!!

Is The World An Ugly Place?

Some say

The World is an ugly place!

I believe the World is beautiful and we are blessed to be in it

I believe man brings the world to a total disgrace!

What's The Difference Between A Racist And A Terrorist?


Over the years, many Americans have talked about the horrific acts
commited by a terrorist

Terrorism has been going on for centuries! Not just for years, but for centuries!

However, many Americans didn’t take the seriousness of it, until September 11, 2001

We’ve seen what a terrorist can do
But, throughout the history of this Country, we’ve also seen what a racist can do

My question:
What’s the difference between a racist and a terrorist?

Well, let’s break it down:
A racist is someone, who discriminates, due to Race and the color of skin

A terrorist discriminates because you are not of their religion, or of their kin

A racist is someone, who is full of hate
They commit murder, unhumane acts and riots, in which they create

A terrorist belongs to a group of people, who hates for political causes
They, too, commit murder, unhumane acts and riots
They claim it’s not an act of hate, but for the will and love of Allah
I find that, to be, so odd
Love is not murder, or committing suicide to kill thousands of innocent people
Nor, is it the will of God
So, if it’s not love, then, it has to be hate

A racist will smile in your face, shake your hand, turn around and stab you in the back

A terrorist will smile in your face, live in your community, shake your hand, and sneak you with a bomb attack

A racist will, also, use a bomb
In 1963, four young African-American girls were killed, when their church, the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Alabama was bombed, due to Racism

Most racist people belong to a group, like the Ku Klux Klan, the Skin heads, and other White Supremacy groups

Most terrorists belong to a group, like Al Qaeda, Al-Jihad, and other known terrorist groups

A racist is someone, who is biased
They commit unjust acts to the poor, especially to people of color

You even have it in Corporate America
If an African-American and a Caucasian-American are performing the same duties, and the African-American is doing a much better job and working harder, the Caucasian-American will still receive a higher pay raise and a higher bonus than the African-American
That alone is an act of bias

When an unarmed black man is shot in the back and killed by the police, not only is it an outright murder, but an act of bias!
Now, others may say it’s not
Never in my lifetime have I heard of an unarmed white man getting shot in the back and killed by the police, especially, not by a black, Asian, or Latino cop

Now, a terrorist is someone, who is biased
They commit unjust acts of violence to innocent people, who have absolutely nothing to do with their cause, or their problem!

A racist will hang and leave you dangling from the highest tree, while a terrorist blow you up
into bits of pieces

The only difference I see between a racist and a terrorist, is that a terrorist will commit suicide, in order to carry out his/her mission to destroy or murder thousands of people, or a government landmark

A racist usually don’t commit suicide to carry out his/her mission

I know we’ve come a long ways with Racism over the years
However, due to the maliciousness of Racism, many of my people have died and shed so many tears
And, the government still owes us 40 acres and a mule, which are in arrears

Racism is still very much alive today, which is like a dangerous organism within our Country

In order to stop the War on Terrorism, let’s first stop the War on Racism!!

Again, I ask; What’s the difference between a racist and a terrorist?

World Love: The Human Race

The World is universal and it is the earth, in which we as human beings dwell upon

For God is the Creator of all mankind, including this world, where Christ, Jesus is the Son of God and the Prince of all Peace 

It doesn’t matter whether you are Jewish, Black, Arabic, White, Latino, and so on

It doesn’t even matter where you live or where you come from

God loves us all, regardless of Race, Color, Creed, or Religion     

Ignorance comes from lack of knowledge, or when someone chooses to ignore the truth about someone or some thing

It is part of the reason we have Racism here in America, lack of love for our fellowman, and it’s part of the reason we have Terrorism 

Terrorism is a political warfare that is going on throughout the world, but Terrorism doesn’t exist with just one Race of people

Terrorism exists in any Race of people, who have hatred in their hearts towards themselves and towards their fellowman

With that hatred, you are always going through warfare within your mind

Eventually, you destroy yourself or the people you hate so much

There are people within all Races, who have this kind of hatred in their hearts, which is also an act of Racism and Terrorism 

We have seen Terrorism exploited time after time

It was exploited, during slavery, in which 100 million and more black slaves were tortured, raped, and murdered

It was exploited, during the holocaust, in which six million Jews were killed

It was exploited, during the Civil Rights Movement

When the Native Americans were slaughtered and their land
 we call America was taken away from them

The killing of Armenians, during World War 1

The beating of the late Rodney King in 1991

In the Motherland of South Africa

The bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993

The bombing of a Federal building in Oklahoma in 1995

When a black man was dragged to his death in Texas in 1998

When a black man was shot 41 times in New York City in 1999

When our Country was attacked on Tuesday, September 11th, 2001

When two police officers were gunned down and killed on December of 2014 in New York City

The shooting death of the late Walter Scott in North Charleston, South Carolina in April of 2015

When nine African-Americans were gunned down and killed in a church in Charleston, South Carolina in 2015

In Paris, France in 2015

In San Bernardino, California during a Christmas holiday party in December of 2015

When 58 people were killed in Las Vegas on October 1, 2017 by a gun man named Stephen Paddock

When 11 people were killed at The Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 2018
 
The death of George Floyd in Minneapolis at the hands of police officers on May 25, 2020 

It is still being exploited in the Holy Lands, here in America, and in certain parts of Africa today! 

Not only does Terrorism still exists, Racism is still a big, big part of our Society 

What we needed yesterday and still need today, more than ever is World Love! 

We need it, in order to save our souls and to desperately save our humanity! 

World love is when man can learn to live together as one.  We may not have the same

color of skin, speak the same language, have the same color of eyes, the same hair texture, the same body structure, or share the same religion

There are three things we all share in this world

One, we are all born from the soil of the earth

Two, we all die returning to the soil of the earth

And, three, we all belong to one Race, and, that is the Human Race! 

World love is when man can have compassion for his fellowman.  No one should be

homeless, and no one should die of thirst and hunger in this world!  There’s enough

education, wealth, food, water, and land for everyone! 

World love is when man can learn to love one another, and accept one another for who, they are! 

No one can help what color or Race they are! 

If you were born white with blond hair and blue eyes, then, that’s what God intended you to be! 

If you were born black with nappy hair, big nose and big lips, then, that’s what God intended you to be! 

If you were born Asian with slanted eyes, then, that’s what God intended for you to be! 

In other words, be proud of who you are!!  Be proud of your Culture!  Be proud of your Heritage! You are not a mistake to be here!!  How do I know?!  Because God made you, like He made me!  I’m proud of my beautiful dark brown skin!  I’m proud of my big nose and big lips!  I’m proud of my heritage! And, most of all, I’m proud to be a Christian!!  For God does not make any mistakes!!  Man make mistakes!!  But, God never ever make mistakes!!

Love is not killing thousands of people for a political or religious cause because I do not believe that’s what true Islam is all about! 

Love is not a so-called leader telling you that a spaceship will take you into heaven, if you drink poison to commit suicide because that’s not what true Christianity is all about! 

God didn’t build this world for one group of people or for one particular religion

He built this world for all mankind, and whether you’re Islamic or Christian, black or white!

We serve only one God and His greatest commandment is Love 

In I John 4:16, the scriptures states, “And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.  God is Love.  Whoever lives in love, lives in God, and God in them.”

That’s what love is, God!  God is love!  And, when we realize that fact! 

We can, then, have love for ourselves and for each other! 

We can have compassion for our fellowman without being greedy!  We are just too damn greedy today! 

We can, then,  learn to live with one another without fighting over land

We can all serve the one and only Almighty God! 

To win the war on Terrorism in this Country and abroad, we must destroy, annihilate the ignorance of Racism!!

There’s one WORLD, one RACE, one LOVE, and one GOD

May He have mercy on us all!!

The Essential Heroes of COVID-20

When the reality of our world changed, 
it seemed like one big illusion

As the Pandemic of COVID-19 started to affect people 
in such a horrific way, I realized it wasn't at all a delusion

I began to frown
as we witnessed the closing of businesses, schools, parks,
my favorite restaurants, gyms, bars, sports, and even 
Hollywood were forced to shutdown

Without a doubt!
We took essential supplies for granted, like water,
rubbing alcohol, tissue, paper towel, masks, and
other essential needs, which were practically sold out!

At no ones fault
The world came to a complete halt

People had to stay in their homes

More than ever, we began to appreciate our Teachers!
Especially, when parents had to fulfill that role for their
children, which I'm sure it nearly drove them crazy
It wasn't a time for any of us to be lazy

However, when the world hibernated, not everyone could 
stay home

If everyone in this great Country of ours actually stayed home,
our financial institutions would have completely collapsed!
EVERYONE would have been broke

Not only would everyone be out of cash
Our Country would be full of filthy trash

People would have looted for food, water, gas, & other things

Our Country would have been burned down to the ground

Many deaths were reported and still being reported today
However, more and more people would have died all around

That's why I thank God Almighty for ALL the Essential Heroes!
Without them, our Country would be a big fat ZERO!

I thank all the Essentials, who have to go in and keep our
financial institutions running, especially the banks

I thank all the Essentials, who delivers our mail and packages

I thank all the Essentials, who are the Custodians that keep
the buildings clean for other Essential Employees to work comfortably

I thank all the Essentials, who work at the supermarkets, gas stations,
restaurants, the local community stores, and laundromats

I, especially, want to thank ALL the Essentials, who are the First
Responders: The EMT workers, The Police, Firefighters, Sanitation
Workers, Doctors, Nurses, Nurses Aids, and all other Employees
who work in hospitals and nursing homes all around this Nation
For they are truly the Front Liners in this Pandemic War to save Humanity
Without them, we wouldn't be able to hold our breathe
Just like the Front Liners, we, too, would be surrounded by so much death!

Again, I thank God for ALL the Essential Workers

In a time where the world is full of anxiety
You are the REAL Heroes of our Society
There should ALWAYS be a Memorial for you ALL
Especially those, who have fallen

Instead of being the Essential Heroes of COVID-19, which stands 
for Corona Virus Disease for 2019

In my heart and in my eyes, you are the Essential Heroes of COVID-20
which stands for Christ Offers Victorious Impeccable Domination for 2020

We salute The Essential Heroes of COVID-20

God bless you and your families!!
