Forum Three: FIND
I Am that I Am by Carden Alphonso Michael

I Am that I Am,

the beginning and the ending,

Alpha and Omega.

I Am that I Am,

he who loveth righteousness

and hateth evil, Jehovah, God.

 

I am the prince of peace

who sends signs and wonders upon the heathens,

and smite mighty kings.

Jehovah.

I Am that I Am,

not of the dead,

but of the living.

 

I Am the great I Am

waiting to judge Adolph Hitler,

Mussolini and

"Christian", thieving Christopher Columbus

for all the atrocities that they committed against

people of color.

I Am that I Am.

 

I Am the way the truth and the life

but will come upon the wicked like a thief in the night

to cut their bands asunder.

I Am that I Am.

 

I Am that I Am,

waiting to Judge the false prophets for their lies, hypocrisy,

and deceiving my people.

I Am the great I Am.

 

I Am that I Am

executing fire and brim stone

upon those who promise Black people

forty acres of land and a mule

for their labor, blood, sweat and tears

under the sun.

I Am the great I Am,

Jehovah, God.
