EARLY
MORNING PRAYER
“Do
you pray always, Mary?”
Yes,
Lord, always, working
Hard
lest I faint. If I faint, what
Will
the end of my children be?
What
will the end be of the testimony
My
Ancestors left behind for me
To
live out, to prove true, to elongate
And
to propagate among the airy minds
Of
those I love, who love me, and those
Who
don’t even know me, and let it sink
Down
to the fleshy hearts. Offering love, one
To
another. Praying for peace in every soul,
Like
links in a chain, from one soul to the
Next,
being that all souls are connected
To
Your heart unless they fall away; forgive
Them,
O, Father, I pray. You rejected us,
Father,
so that you could ensoul, graph,
Include
those without, within the Plan you
Had
from the beginning. Had you left us in
Mire
of our own creation, we would not be,
We
would be no more a people in a godless
World,
carrying knowledge of life and death
Within
us and around us, hovering above our
Head,
which some can’t see, no being aware,
Awake.
Sometimes, it doesn’t feel very fair
That
You require us to pray for those
Who
don’t pray, who won’t pray for us,
Who
pray against us, who forsook and
Forsake
us in this system. You gave us
The
power to be ourselves and in that, heal
One
another if we will. We also abuse power
To
our utter hurt. But those are who our
Ancestors
prayed for. Today, we must pray
For
our ancestors, for us, and them. When
We
have defeated every enemy within,
Awareness
of that will break every yoke,
All
chains, and rectify past, present, and
Future
drug-induced failures that cripple
Your
people, as our ancestors fought
Against
before us.
Yes,
Lord, I’m praying, for then, now, and
forever.
And when all of this is done, we will
know
as we are also known. Thank You, and
Thank
You again and amen.
