I gave you a gift.
A gem or jewel if you like to cherish.

You took it.
But only a few tried to protect it.

Some became some loyal disciples.

I gave you a present.
That only required a few rules to conform too.

Some did and some refused.

We know God faced this resistance in Genesis too.

I God had regrets creating you.

Except, out of respect I saw the best in you.

This gift I gave follow all I asked of him.

Show mercy and kinds when from the cross he stated to me.

Father, they know not what they do?

Now you aware of the gift I gave you.

According to some women men are the dirt of the earth.
Yes, according to some.
Which isn't true.

Many good men stay around when they could have left her just to not let their child down.
So kids be thankful.

Attitudes, arguments and personal conflicts make some guys want to pack.
But out of the strength of character, they hadn't packed.

As you grow up and analyze both.
Decide for yourself which should have left long ago.

Too many planets in this world for us to be the selected one with people.
Somewhere others must exist like citizens of a variety of countries.

Somewhere there must be others.

If
If I was a sinner.
People will judge me.
If I was a saint.
People would judge me.

If I was Jesus people would judge him will praise.
We aware that many states negative about him day to day.
But in the end WE ALL SHOULD be thankful for the price he paid.

Respect must be given to Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong for the inspiration of this poem title.
You create your heaven or hell upon this earth.

And there's no safe place.
Even if ministers under this notice it's the church.
Obviously, we have seen trouble within.

Even if they singing there's no closer friend than Jesus.

Chuck Berry-Buddy Holly.
Little Richard-Jerry Lee, Lewis.
Elvis Presley-Jackie Wilson.
Sam Cooke-Pat Boone.

In the eyes of God are we all that different?

Heritage or culture makeup makes us the way we are.
Thinking a certain mentality that affects us all.

Except, in the eyes of God are we all that different?

We operate on things that fit a certain up raising.
And spread it around like its a known truth.

Andrew Sisters-the Supremes
Aerosmith-the Ohio Players
President Clinton-President Obama

In the eyes of God aren't we the same.
Billy Graham-Martin Luther King Jr.
There was a message in their teaching.

Just remember this, in the eyes of  GOD are we all that different.

The legacy of Branch Rickey stands in his strength to wield his power for change.
Even when others cry foul and complain about not trying to change.
And the subject always seems the to be surrounded by the strength of a powerful black man.

We by now know many never wanted Jackie Robinson within the league of baseball.
We know most of the players and of course the owner.
****!
Seem we see this now when you challenge the "rule" for standing on your rights.

Presently, we see the weakness of owners of the same racial makeup.
Trying to dictates rules and regulation after black males fight for justice against police brutality.
Which the NFL protest was mainly about.

Not the anthem, and not the flag.
Not once have they stated they were unpatriotic.
That was this one guy behind the microphone talking to a majority of his own.

We have seen when others rock the status quo.
The power that becomes weak.
We saw it with Muhammad Ali and the raising of the fist during the OLYMPICS of the sixties.

Just notice the shaking of the power that is when elected leaders cry foul.
But avoid racial injustice.

Then we aware they never could survive segregation if it was turned around.
