The right to live is denied….one of the seven wonders/
Cause I wonder how “Uncle Sam”….allows death upon his brother/
The Good Samaritan seems superficial….only to be left under/
Clouds of jealousy……but these clouds disperse thunder/
Whom questions existence….and the realities of these conditions/
Its those who immerse resistance…..and understand King’s mission/
A truth to be witnessed……conveyed through hip-hop sessions/
Denied a piece of the pie…..only to settle for soup kitchens/
With too many questions….and a majority who don’t listen/
Seeds of greed without Union…yields a poverty that stricken/
We’re a people who sees God…….with the heart of a lion/
No politics needed…......cause God determines who enters Zion
So let it be known….of a reality that’s unseen/
Along the rural areas of Tennessee and Mississippi/
And beyond those borders…..this is a global catastrophe/
If you don't understand...read Jeremiah Chapter 22 verse three/

Hi Poverty Initiative travelers - this is Ken Scott, father of Aaron Scott and pastor of the Church of the Good Shepherd UMC in the Albany NY area.
It is a very hopeful thing to think what amzing people of God you are becoming through this trip.
On this Dr King Sunday in our worship, the choir and congregation will be exclusively singing 7-8 spirituals. (O Freedom, Freedom is Coming, The Gospel Plow, etc..) It will be our small effort to tap into the power of black christian liberation spirituality /theology.
Only a taste of what you are recieving however. Our prayers are with you, and I may even draw from some of these blogging insights as I prepare for the preaching moment. Thanks a lot!
of course, we go out singing we shall overcome. more peace and blessings to you all.
hi aaron. i love you. dad
