Complicit

Im sorry to say that I was part of all the bullsh*t. I shoud have been more careful of the thoughts that I let ruminate in my mind. I left the front and the barn doors open and everything just filtered in unfiltered. The world was trying to get me to believe something and somewhere, something inside of me knew I was getting the wrong message and I was just not quite processing it right. I let think they were winning and all the time I was sinning hoping to make a way when there didnt appear to be a way at all. 

I was small in comparions to the huge machinery running beside and through my thoughts. They wanted to me to believe that being Black was being Black and didnt even define it for me. They made up a bunch of words that made them feel better while all the while trying to get me to understand that this was a good thing. 

We are capable of so much more and they keep pushing back trying to make us believe something that we should not. We are Be-ings of God and we must not ever forget it.
