Trigger I will show you something I don’t care if the world can see Here I am on bended knee, praying ... That you and your race will know Your place, your place below, Yes, even six feet deep This is torture, Touching you, Listening to your whining, nigger I guess I should have Done like the others, Like all the others And just pulled the trigger Triggered by the horror On the TV screen Blacks and white unite Slowly, very slowly, Whites are learning Some of the countless troubles Blacks have, too long, seen A father fears to walk his pet alone A patrol car might dog his avenue A husband fueling his wife’s car Those car seats in the back? Why should they belong to you? A man watching uncaged birds In the sunlit park Gets screamed at and threatened Well, his skin was dark A child walking home with candy A man reading a book, A woman looking out her window This was all it took To become a suspect Before a barrage of bullets ensue By those paid To serve and protect Uncharged, acquitted, not guilty Verdicts from the courts Is it because black lives do not matter? Their blood senselessly splattered Is still red like rage, or a face being choked A black man walks into a bar And lived to tell about it This is not a joke

Psalm 20 May the Lord reply when you are distressed May the name of the Lord protect you May He send you help and grant you support ... May your heart’s desires be given you May you shout for joy and lift up His voice For His victorious power May you steadfastly trust in Him And rise up in this dark hour See more

See How the Story Ends Sometimes we need to look ahead To see how the story ends When a new heaven and a new earth,... God’s holy city, descends Coming down from heaven, Prepared as a beautiful bride God has declared from His throne, Here, with you, I will reside You will be My people And I will wipe every tear; There will be no more death, grief or pain; The broken ways will disappear Our Righteous King has revealed Everything will be made new We must cling to this hope For He is Faithful and True He will give water of life to the thirsty, God’s overcoming children Promises the Alpha and Omega The Beginning and the End - Revelation 21:1-7

Proverbs 3 Don’t forget what I have taught Keep my commands in your heart For they will add much to your life ... And peace God will impart Hold fast to love and faithfulness Inscribe them on your heart Then you will be esteemed by God; Trust Him with all your heart On your own understanding, do not rely Submit to God; He will correctly guide Honour the Lord with all that you possess With abundance and joy, He will surely bless Do not spurn God’s loving discipline For He rebukes those He delights in Rich is the one, who amasses wisdom; Pleasant is her peaceful kingdom She is a tree of life to those who gain her How wise must be the Lord Creator, Who placed the silver stars in view And divided waters: oceans and drops of dew Preserve sound judgment and discretion Do not let wisdom and understanding flee For they will be like a talisman You will walk secure and steadily When you lie down, you will not fear Your sleep will be free from cares For the Lord will be protecting you From unexpected snares Do not withhold good where it’s due When you have the ability Do not delay your giving When you see someone in need Do not plot against your neighbour Or accuse people without cause Do not envy the violent Or choose their path, full of flaws The Lord hates perversity But He counsels the upright God’s curse is on the wicked But He blesses the upright God mocks the proud and shows favour To the humble and oppressed While fools inherit only shame, The wise are honoured are blessed
