I've pondered the plight of the black man from the capture and removal of father figures in slavery ...YOU WILL CARRY THE CROSS... to the mistreatment not even given to the women today ...YOU WILL CARRY THE CROSS ...from the job denied to the home adorned with flaming lawn ornaments...from killing themselves with drugs to killing each other because of them...YOU WILL CARRY THE CROSS...from the 50 acres and a mule you know we didn't get to the turf that is tagged YOU'RE IT ...YOU WILL CARRY THE CROSS...from the pages of the bible and the assignment of Simon of Cyrene to the journey you travel today ....YOU WILL CARRY ..THE CROSS... Hold your head high what an honor and a privilage when the final page is turned <><
