Permanent Damage

"Permanent Damage."

There's a new look where the natural hair is being
worn by the Sisters from short cuts, afros, and locks too.
They are sporting the look that's natural to themselves
and my Sisters this look is becoming to all of you.
More are cutting out the perm that can cause them
permanent damage over time to their hair.
What many are putting in and on their follicles
truly amounts to nothing but chemical warfare.
You see the perms came when in our low self esteem we
wanted our hair male and female to look like an Edomite.
We were told that theirs was the good hair and ours was
nappy but what we’ve been told just wasn't right.
We were tricked into being ashamed of our looks in essence
being ashamed of the Most High for we look like Him.
Because we were ignorant of who's and who we are
our people wanted to look like them.
Even now it is a disgrace to see our people with blonde
hair taking on the looks of shatan's very own.
This is real white washing because those who go that
way are mentally and spiritually gone.
The story of Jacob and Esau proves that color matters
when the Scriptures showed you the difference in the two.
Yet Yah Loved the darker of the Brothers Jacob and
hated the lighter one Esau as Scriptures state true.
The Edomite male is a human representative of shatan
much admired and Loved by Hebrews who are blind.
Yet the Yisraelite man who is the representative of Yah
is hated by his own and treated so unkind.
Proof positive that this is shatan's reign where his own
are over those right now who are of the Most High.
But we got next as a Brother stated and we will rule
with our Father in truth and Love I won't deny.
When Scriptures describe Yah His hair is like ours and
He's not ashamed or never attempted to change His look.
We need to realize that we are Royalty we were made in
His image and likeness not just spiritual people of the book.
I'm glad to see our Sisters who are natural as are the Brothers
who are wearing the different styles also.
I will be glad when the truth about who we are is spread and
pride takes hold and the Love of Yah we will know.

Shalom,
