FAITH WITHOUT WORK IS DEAD
Faith without works is dead
Just taking up space in your head
Yes, you can repeat what the good book said
And imagine that your soul has been fed
But until the practice of hypocrisy has been shed
faith without works is just dead

What We Believe
Brothers and Sisters
Cynicism and fear have no place here
They only serve the oppressor's plan
Suppressing the the voice of the common man/woman
Creating chaos and doubt to weigh on us down
Placing blinders on us so we don't look around
And once the independent spirit we touted
no longer exists
Our, so called, "exceptionalism" gives way to narcissism and selfishness
Beloved, can't you see
We're only as good as what we believe
Now, I'm not suggesting we become "hopefully naive"
But that we strive to live our whole life long
Faithful, courageous, willing and strong
T.C
May We Open Our Eyes
Creator
may we open our eyes
regardless of religious beliefs or political sides
May we view the trials, tribulations and many tests
as opportunities to accomplish achievements with honor and selflessness
May we supplement faith with virtue, virtue with knowledge
May we build on this foundation and be sure that it's solid
For the commandment that's greater than all the world's wealth
Is to simply love our neighbor as we love ourself
T. C
I'm less concerned about Left and Right
and more about right and wrong
So to the question, whether we'll ever again get along
I say,
If the truth will set you free,
good deeds make you strong
And to truly get the peace on earth
we sing about in that feel good song
We must be honest about what's right
and what we damn well know is wrong
T.C
No weapon formed against us shall prosper
God bless the Frontline workers
from clerks to doctors
Nurses, fire, police, emergency techs
And my people of good conscience
let us not forget
Life is happening as we speak
Bitter, indifferent, and sometimes, sweet
But through it all may we have the wisdom
to remain
Steadfast, courageous, empathetic, humane
As well as, selfless and decent to the core
Because, there's good in this world
and it's worth fighting for

REALITY CHECK (The spirit of the fable)
While Rome burns from famine and disease
An offbeat Nero dances at rallies, and privately seethes
But this ain't about him, nazi's, proud boys or sheeple
2020 is about us, "We the People"
Who set out to form a more perfect union
But consume symbols of hate
like they're holy communion
Reality check Check one, check two
The fire is raging and the state is being consumed
distracted and dismantle by pettiness and lies
Beloved it's time we open our eyes
our hearts, our minds
And honestly assessed how we're living
Or at least live up to the spirit of the fable of our
Thanksgiving
T.C
Life is filled with ups and downs, heartbreak and tears
But you were born with a resilient spirit, so beloved, have no fear
And if you believe in what your people fought for, bled, died, and got
Then you won't let them steal your inheritance No way, not on your watch
Take Your Power Back. Take Your Power Back.
Take Your Power Back. Take Your Power Back.
Even when you're discouraged, because chaos seems to rule
Persistence shifts heavenly favor So don't allow yourself to be fooled
For you are a descendant of a powerful people, who have and shall overcome
The oppressor has no control over your life, unless you give him some
Take Your Power Back. Take Your Power Back.
Take Your Power Back. Take Your Power Back.
Remember, love conquers hate, but only when good people don't dismiss
the power we all possess to change the world Courage warriors raise your fist And
Take Your Power Back. Take Your Power Back.
Take Your Power Back. Take Your Power Back.
