Precious Gift

by Wilfred Fisher - Pisces

This world is a suction for violence.
We hate, discriminate and even segregate.
Many on this earth have a strong aversion or ill will to love.
they detest or as we say, Hate all that is so unknown.
You will not get the real truth unless you knock, then the door will open.
Open your heart and allow them to enter as this world has welcomed us all.
to know someone is to see their inner soul not their outer reflection.
Learn from those before us and lead with the wisdom attained.
Do no pre-judge or even pro-judge after you believe to know.
Accept people as they are because we are not above any and/or all.
Come together and manifest by demonstrating and giving evidence of your loving ways.
We love by supporting, sharing and showing affection to our fellow mankind.
Take the time to patiently know your neighbor.
Listen to their words as you each educate each other.
Feel the warmth and care of their loving embrace.
Call them your brother, sister, a descendant of love.
Through communication, we begin to understand.
Understanding creates a piece of mind within us.
Let's give praise to who we are and learn to accept our inner soul.
We are all unique but that allows us to self-express.
As individual, we can accomplish a lot but together we can account for so much more.
Unity as a whole, we as people have over come.
A war brought by uncertainty and fear of the unknown.
To be black is definitely a beautiful gift.
Allow the world to know our inner souls, as they become free to love.
Don't allow them to head in the wrong direction.
We are their maps that will lead them to our loving land.
They will begin to understand us, as their fears will over flow.
let's not allow them to drown, as we become selfish as a whole.
Our pigmentation they fear even though, they taint their complexion.
We say, they are wrong for judging us.
By judging them, we become caught up in the same state of mind.
Let's rise and show our true side within.
We will embrace and forgive as taught by the cherisher of all worlds.
We each symbolize a most precious gift on this earth.
We are definitely worth all because God has placed us here.
