revolution

where is the faith
the ancients
clung to
the passion
the great man
gave his life for-
where is the life
men of old
died for
defied authorities for
denied complacency for
where is the truth
men of old
left everything for
lived differently-
radically-
for
oh sleeping generation
living not
a shadow beyond
the things
dreams and nightmares
are made of...
When will
this
generation
rise
and
seek
life
we will
die for
defy authorities for
deny complacency for
truth
we will
leave everything for
live differently-
radically-
for
The dawn of
this beautiful revolution
is breaking into
this sleeping generation
lulled by dreams and
held by nightmares-
rise
and
seek with
all
your
heart
for the truth
who wakes men with
faith,
passion,
and life
...and He will be
found by you.
it is
the dawning of
a beautiful
revolution

  3. ...now I wonder...why would a girl that could open her heart and write like this...do anything other than write full time and be an ambassador for the one she writes about in some far remote land where latte and stock-market enslaved Americans would never dare step foot...where her actions would compliment her words?

  4. BJ-
    Thanks!

    Richard-
    Good to hear from you. Thank-you for the congrats! I will be in touch.

    challenging questions anonymous #3. The answer is that I am here in America for a reason and purpose greater than lattes and stocks. Sometimes I think it would be easier to go back to Africa than stay where I now am.
    But I am here working and thinking and questioning and writing because for now this is where and what I am supposed to be.
    Peace-
    Britt

  5. I'm sure you are where you are presently supposed to be. I'm just blown away by your writings...I've never read anything like them. My prayers for you are that your present working, thinking, questioning, and writing continuously point you toward the future your heart screams for within the refection of your magnificant writings. The future that was designed to fit a heart as big as yours. A unique soul with a unique path whether in America or Africa or wherever it may be. I encourage you to write more. May Christ bless you.
