Do not Learn the ways of the Gentiles

"Do not Learn the ways of the Gentiles."

Yirmeyahu 10:2 says, Do not learn the ways
of the gentiles but we have done this anyway.
We have emulated our gentile oppressors
and we're becoming more like them everyday.
Our integration into their society when Yah
segregated His own He kept us set apart.
Now we are more like gentiles than Hebrews
and for our own there's no Love in our hearts.
Our people have not only taken on their ways
but their spirits we're violent and hateful too.
Our young are murdering each other when we
look at each other it's like we've just seen poo.
We even hate the poor and are quick to put
each other down with words that hurt.
Although Yah formed our ancestors from it
we don't have to treat each other like dirt.
We're so separated now as a people and trust
for our own has gone out of the window.
We have become our own worst nightmare
and in our lives as a people the Drama shows.
Those who feel they have made it turn their
backs on each other like they are better also.
Meekness and humility when they claim to
be christians they do not know.
Yah told His people to do not learn the ways
of the gentiles yet our own look up to them.
We follow them in error to our destruction
when we were warned repeatedly by Him.
The end of the reign of satan and the gentiles
is coming but a new beginning for the Elect.
Those who will reign with Yah as Kings and
Priests those who He in the beginning did select.
Like in the wilderness many will not live they've
followed the gentiles to their own destruction.
Black folks who reject being Hebrews will be
lost and suffer Yah's wrath for their corruption.
Our people have learned the ways of the gentiles
and pretty soon they won't be our people anymore.
Like the gentiles they better enjoy their Heaven
now because they'll suffer as never before.
