The New Gadite

There's been new worlds,
new ways, new means
to uncertain and bloody ends,
new beginnings
from chaos to unstable orders,
unto psychotic societies
bent on obtaining new houses,
new cars, new schools, new money.
New Negros
and new times, and Now is the time!
But, I am the new Gadite.
The new Gadite(Gen. 49:19).
Yet, I was here from the beginning,
ever since He guided me
across the Atlantic millenniums ago,
by that cloud by day and that fire by night.
They called my nation Red.
But, I am from the earth,
made of the soil of these here lands,
God calls Another Country- Azareth.
I am the new wine.
Listen to my drumbeat, hear my cry-
the offerings of the sounds of my lips,
swaying to the beat
moving in the spirit as I dance.
All praises to the Spirit.
God is a spirit.
And all who worship God,
must worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:23-24).
I am the new Gadite (Deut. 33:20)
they hallucinating, thinking
they could ever stop me from being a nation.
I am the son, and He is the Father,
and the Earth is my mother.

Shalam,
Zarach
