To My Sister From Afar

TO MY SISTER FROM AFAR:

ALTHOUGH WE LIVE IN SEPARATE HOMES, CITIES, AND BACKGROUNDS, 

OUR PAIN, SWEAT, TEARS, AND BLOOD BRINGS US ON COMMON GROUND.

WE MIGHT NOT KNOW EACH OTHER RIGHT NOW, BUT THE PAIN THAT YOU'RE GOINGH THROUGH HAS A FAMILIAR SOUND.

OH, SISTER. MY SISTER.

WHY DO YOU CRY?? 

IS IT FROM THE SCARS ON YOUR LEGS OR THE BRUISE ON YOUR EY??

OH, SISTER. MY SISTER.

WHY DO YOU WEEP??

HAS YOUR HUSBAND LEFT THE HOME AND YOUR SON IN THE STREETS??

OH, SISTER. MY SISTER.

WHY ARE YOU MAD?? 

HAVE THEY GAINED YOUR TRUST AND ROBBED YOU OF WHAT YOU HAD??

OH, SISTER. MY SISTER.

WHY ARE YOU SCORNED??

DID THEY SLANDER YOU NAME AND IS YOUR INTEGRITY TORN??

TO MY SISTER FROM AFAR: 

KNOW THAT BABYLON IS FALLEN, IS FALLEN.

OPEN YOUR EYES, SEPARATE FROM THE BONDAGE, AND HEED YAH'S CALLING.

HE WANTS YOU TO SEPARATE FROM THE LIES AND THE BONDAGE THAT KEEPS YOU.

GUARANTEED TO FIND ME WHEN OUR FATHER LEADS YOU.

LET IT BE KNOWN TO YOU THAT YOU'RE NOT ALONE.

WHAT I'M HERE TO TELL YOU IS THAT HE'S CALLING US BACK HOME.

SAYING COME OUT OF HER, MY SISTER, AND COME OUT OF HER LIES.

COME OUT OF HER RULES, HER RITUALS, AND LEAVE IT BEHIND.

COME OUT OF BABYLON, MY SISTER, AND COME HOME TO THE TRUTH. 

YOUR SISTERS ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE WAITING FOR YOU.

COME OUT OF THE BABYLONIAN MENTAL PROGRAMMING.

LET ME GATHER YOU TO YOUR REAL FAMILY.
