There was a time That men
wrote the bible
Before it was translated
14,000 different times
Into what we now know
As the King James
Maybe they didn’t
think anything about it
Maybe it was just letters
And there were slave owning men
Who
Heard amazing grace
From their fields
And wrote it down
To sing in their churches
They also
Wrote the laws
Wrote the movement
“All men are created equal”
But it took one man
William Wilberforce
To really believe it
And reform it
And
We prayed
in the tongues
of gods and men
And somehow
we forgot our women
And we forgot how to love
And we have the scars to prove it….
But can we rest now?
Can we breathe?
Can we walk
Together
Equal
Can we rest?
Maybe no one ever told you
But
You don’t have to be perfect
To be here
You are you
And you are important
And you have something worth staying for
