Be Not Offended...Poem Be Not Offended...
Offended by Our Name;
Yahweh, remains the same.
Jesus kept off your scripts;
Call Him up with your lips.
Offended by Our Image;
To Yahweh, I pay Homage.
Within child, you see Father;
Genocide, please don't bother.
Offended by Our Love;
We are gentle as Dove.
Crafty minds shall Repent.
We are wise as Serpent.
Offended by Our Speech;
You thirst blood like the leech.
Words of Life repel death;
Salt of Earth, grinds like meth.
Offended by Our Touch;
Healing hands deliver much.
Traveling men transfer;
Genders bound, No bender.
Offended by Our Scent;
Heaven's Aroma sent
to chase away bad blood
created before Flood.
Offended by Our Walk;
Eyes spy on Us like hawk.
Christ's Cross heavy to bear.
All sins judged and laid bare.
Offended by This Truth;
Be child-like as the youth.
Innocence-Not hatred.
These words I keep sacred.
