I can't even fathom...


For a moment...Take away a #uniform and #badge ... Even take away skin #color .  (In no way denying the large #racist elephant in the room but stay with me please... I do have a point.)

#Imagine being gunned down #walking #away from a bad situation; Imagine retreating, and returning to your car with your children in it to drive off, and just because you didn't listen to the person wanting to engage with you, they shoot you 7-8 times at point blank range.

Can you imagine #Hot searing bullets enter your #fleshly #temple with the intent of the aggressor to kill you? Just Imagine you... #or intent to kill your brother...or intent to kill your sister...or intranet your kill mother...or intent kill your father?

We even #teach as a society, ourselves and our children,  when someone is #toxic walk away ... WHAT HAPPENED HERE? The Bible even says before a quarrel "take your leave."

Those in authority, set the tone and example. Is this really ok with someone on my timeline or in my life? Can anyone even try to remotely #defend or justify this?? Can you even imagine?

I can't even fathom.

Walking away does not Justify attempted homicide with or without a badge.

Only #GodsKingdom will heal this world.

Regal


 The rain outside kept me in.

Last week it was the heat.

Long poised strides 

in my element.

Refusing distraction 

from irrelevance. 


Where is my Fire?

Rejecting embellishment

waiving stability

&

emotional intelligence

shaving

non-functional

ornamental adornments...

another's desire.

take these back...

&

Where's my Crown?

Gold leaves

trims the reef.

Crown of Hearts

and Peace

Blue

 Middle Ocean 

Deep

the Still

the Calm

the Crashing Waves

at Dusk

the Quiet Clash

Clap & Splash

at Dawn

supplies my applause.


When you look at the stars

do they scream at you too?


Is whats said in reality

said in Dreams too?


15th floor

had the best view...

I wonder even now..

How is that true?

If only you knew.


Life's intent 

wasn't to confuse.

Still danger hangs,

dangles and swings,

clinging to things that 

your'e fully aware

you cant use.


It's not news

yet  & still 

you 

may be tempted 

to choose.

Neither is that new.

Neither is it just you.

I say keep those 

&

Where is my Robe?

Bare and undressed

Scarred and upset.

The halls are large and

un-swept.

The grass is high and unkempt.


It's 4 am I've not slept.

Indulging in unrest

Is it ok to be good

even without being your best?

Cant breathe out your nose

  with a knee on your neck.

Is it ok to speak

without showing respect?

no smoke no mirrors 

still I reflect...


Where's my Court?

I speak in closed circles 

to my Red Arrow Warriors and Chiefs.

Discuss and prescribe

where the walls are weak.

Reading songs, 

letters, 

proverbs

& prophecies

64 books

research and repeat.
