Guns and Roses
A Poem written on the day an activist was assassinated
Keep your Guns and your bullets
Assassin
I have no use for you
I stare in the mirror daily and My only desire is to look like Christ in my reflection
Im not even close
to be honest
all I see is me in my hate and frustration
and my anger
pull it out of me Oh God and fill me with love
cause hate never has changed the world only Love
Booker T Washington said " I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him."
he knew
he knew
he knew
that Gods path to freedom is truly to Love your Enemies
I feel a damp chill in the fall air as I walk
I stab my hands in my coat pockets as I think looking this way and that way but mostly in
and I don't like what I see
let whatever isn't Love inside of me die like these leaves are dying as the trees and the ground prepare to give up the ghost to be reborn by the spring
let the last breaths of my old life
silently pass
May I wake up tomorrow and be just a little more Loving Like Jesus was

This is beautiful and I love everything about it. Every life counts, whether we like that person or not. Everyone claims they want peace, and then celebrate when someone is assassinated or harmed. No one deserves to die like that. Not a single person. Great piece.
