I Should Have Been White by Sheria Robinson

I should have been white.

Bright,

Like that light

that rose in the East and

trampled down on that beast

of Revelation 13:7

 

An Angel,

Sent down from heaven.

Him and eleven

plus one more,

Standing at tribulations door

 ready for war.

 

An Army,

Clothed in fine linen.

There from the beginning.

Swords drawn, but feet planted deep within it.

 

A Mark,

A designation of being part of a nation

Of kings and queens

And above all these things,

 

A Servant,

Blessed with His increase

Peace and

Belief.

Upholding His message

And notes of relief.

 

Selah

 

I should have been white.
