the only scriptures <br />i want to read, <br />are the life stories <br />of the oppressed and downtrodden. <br /> <br />the only prayers <br />i know to be real, <br />are their unspoken needs, <br />their desire to be free. <br /> <br />the only church <br />that i belong to, <br />their homes, their shelters, <br />their grimy neighborhoods. <br /> <br />the only image of god <br />that i want to see, <br />the humanity in their faces, <br />the injustices falling in their tears. <br /> <br />and equality, <br />the only walk... <br />the path, the destiny, <br />of the human heart!<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/scriptures/
