The mantle stopped with Martin Luther King.
Not another great leader for justice till this day has emerged.
Many talk a good talk but simply afraid to take that walk.

Sitting on the sideline claiming this and that.
Also similar to various megachurches that afraid to step up and be seen.

Their only intention is believing in riches.
With fat cats ministers living in an expensive mansion.
Driving expensive cars.

Robbing the poor to get even wealthier.

Still afraid to take on the injustices in society.

Strange but true that many don't reach out unless it's for attention.
We all very aware God knows our best intention.
And those in the world using others as a tool.

****, everyone wants the title Bishop.
When many denounce the term minister.
But that's what the WORD truly about?

Getting the messages of the scriptures preached out.

Wrong can never be right.
When leaders of the flock keep leading many astray.
The mantle has yet to be accepted.

Then MLK Jr. death still is a hard one.
