Neo-Slavery II

I Am the Lord God

ISamuelyeaonAmallahOpia.

So now I am going talk.

During the past eighteen years of continual writing in a self imposed prison of reading. writing and meditative thought.

My social activities is limited to casual conversations with neighbors and Andy a man of generation who I count as a friend.

I have written in earlier submissions that I don’t exist which sounds absurb because its obvious that I have length, depth and breath ergo I am.

But I have never embarked or deviated from a path seemingly I was born toat times I wanted thing that moved tantalizingly  close but just a tad beyond my reachm time after time.

 I have since  learned to recognize those episodes  and not frustrate myself chasing after things that would ultimately prove to be unattainable.

I sit content and write and wait for those doors that are for me to go through, to open themselves to me.

I have never had what one might consider to be an exciting life, lack of exciting funds but the kibosh on that  nonetheless there were moments of exhilarating fun mirth abruptly taken over with thoughts that simply needed to be written down. This, I reconciled was my great pleasure.

I have never been married although I have had shall I say ‘friendships.’ two of which gifted me with a son and the other a daughter.

Reading this might give the impression that I am alone venting and I suppose in a way I am both but I am good looking, and  being by myself is a matter of choice.

 and I see this rendering as more summation  of the past 52 years of my life.

In spite of how this may read and as  a writer, I would hope interesting but to record, and here I am going to contradict myself, that I am one of you.

Now don’t any of you go and get all beside yourself thinking we share anything alkie but this.

Here Im talking strickly to the American Israelite, whose forefather arrived on these shores in slave ships, sold in to bondage then deprived of all human consideration with the enforcement of unjust law imposed by a people not our own; here, only here are we are all alike

The pain and suffering over 200 an 44 years of bondage that only officially ended in 1863 with the signing of the Declaration iof independence is something the African of the garden, Israel, alone endured. No need to thank me, I was glad to do it.

Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:

And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying,

Whom shall I send,

and who will go for us?

Then said I,

Here am I;

send me.

And he said,

Go, and tell this people,

Hear ye indeed,

but understand not;

and see ye indeed,

but perceive not.

      Make the heart of this people fat,

and make their ears heavy,

and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears,

and understand with their heart, and convert,

and be healed.

Then said I,

Lord,

how long?

And he answered,

Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant,

and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,

      And the Lord have removed men far away,

and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.

      But yet in it shall be a tenth,

and it shall return,

and shall be eaten:

as a teil tree,

and as an oak,

whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves:

so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.

***

all of the Garden is the most majestic gift to all who serve God.

The sacrifices of all the saints, that time brought into focus Laws nesccity

***

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life,

and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

***

And the woman said unto the serpent,

We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden,

God hath said,

Ye shall not eat of it,

neither shall ye touch it,

lest ye die.

And the serpent said unto the workman,

Ye shall not surely die:

For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened,

and ye shall be as gods, knowing - good

and evil.

***

His lord said unto him,

Well done,

thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things,

I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
