Rooted in the Promise
Rooted on the corner
of concrete soil
where hardly anything grows.
Nourished by the dark,
watered from below.
Forever bending and swaying
not by the seasons of time
but by the elements of life.
Entangled and Uprooted
by a strong force of whim.
Only to be blown back—
to the corner of concrete
soil where hardly anything grows.
The Maker is the planter,
restoration is the plan.
Futile are no dreams—believe.
His promise is of land.

Not like today,
they agreed to say.
But what was so great?
If it’s led to today,

Thank You so very much for placing the truth in people's faces. Too ofetn we want to "soft sell" a subject, and then justify the reasoning behind the actions. Although truth can be unsettling and painful for a period, the pain should be a motivator to inspect and reflect, and ultimately addres the issue to create change.
In my humble opinion, i think it is high time that we stop accepting the negative things that are affecting our children, families, and communities. we need to charge head-on to deal with these issues that are smothering and killing our children, demoralizing women, qand encouraging destructive behavior. I've heard many a well intentioned spokesperson say that these children are crying out and rebelling because of an infringement upon their so-called culture. What kind of culture would incite self-demoralization? what kind of culture would encourage violence, and glorify irresponsible behavior? If this is what we now define as cultural, then we certainly need to re-evalute our definition of culture. Stop the madness now or pay the consequence later
