It is time…

May 13, 2011

Shone Bagley, Sr.

Shone Bagley, Sr.

Times are hard… but to those who live deep into darkness of their sorrows of poverty there is no difference. They walk the walk of survival and to them they will survive another day even though too many times are hard.

Times like these we are to care for each other. However, the truth is, the majority care only to be placed in an order of strength and wealth (to have). It is at the hands of those who “have” only to pet those with just enough so their guilt is eased just enough to stand the pain of what they see from those eyes who “have not.”

My people I know it hurts to look back to those who remind you of those who stabbed you, raped you and spit on you. I know it hurts for those whose parents kept you from being stabbed, raped and spit on. However, as hard as it is, we have to be stronger and carry on for those who are going through. We have to help not with money, but the cross of sacrificial life. Dr. King stated, “In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”

We’ve all sat at a funeral of a friend or loved one; and we all heard the voice of a preacher. The tears come, sometimes because of the silence. The silence from the pain, hurt and pain from life. At one hand, silence is because of death, and sometimes silence is because no one is opening their hands to hold or to defend; and they turn their eyes away as God turned His hands and His face from those who are silent.

Malcolm X, Dr. Martin Luther King, and all those who open their hands to hold and defend… did they die in vain just so you can look away? Did Jesus die just for you? Did Allah send His Prophet just for you to sit at the top and look down? Did Jesus die, did all the disciples, did all the Prophets, did all die just for Lucifer, the Satan, the dragon, the serpent, our ENEMY to win?

We all are brothers and sisters in God, and through the promise of Abraham. But we ALL are acting like Cain!!!

I pray that God have mercy on all of our souls…

Exodus 32:30-33 ( KJV ) 30And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin. 31And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold. 32Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin—; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. 33And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.

My brothers and sisters we must come together. If you are looking for someone to lead you, let it be me! Let all who want to carry the cross…let all those who want to do Allah’s will, let us all come together and get ready for this battle.

Who is willing?
