Unmasked Love

It's there, in all of us.
Love.
We were created because of it.
We were created for it.
Why, then, do so many
choose
to let it loose in little ways?
God lavishes it on His creation.
We, too, should unleash it upon
others
in our lives.
Unmask the deepness of love's emotion.
Let it shine through,
for it will make a world of difference.
It may even be the only light
in a person's dark world.
Don't hide your love for God
or the love you have for others.
Unmask it and let it
Pour
out on
God's People.

Based on Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad (from perspective of a native)

They call me a savage,

They call me free.

But they put me in bondage,

shackled to their dreams.

They don’t understand

that I’m not inhumane,

I’m just different,

but still the same.

We are both of His image.

But what is image

when it comes to seeing?

For nobody perceives the same

reality.

And how can we say whose

reality is right?

Why is the white man

superior to us?

If we live primitively,

but we are happier,

don’t we live a greater life?

Yet enslave us they must

to accrue a vast wealth

but when they return to dust,

what of their lives can we tell?

Their money will sit there,

tempting new whites to

attempt to “retrieve” their share

Will this cycle ever end?

Though we are the ones in chains

I firmly believe that it is the

white man enslaved.
