M is for Manifesto

You'll noticed I missed L. You will also be happy to note that I will be back on track tomorrow! The 'rents are departing and though I am sad, it will be nice to have my routine back. Except that my dryer is broken. Always something, right? 

I will get to the M in a moment (you can skip ahead if you'd like) but for good measure, my L post was going to be "London".

I have never wanted to visit the UK really. As the child of a man raised in the south during the 50s and 60s, I've been all too aware of racial tensions and it is a scary thought to face such things so far from home. Now, I highly doubt that London, for example, has a race problem. They might. But I like to explore, often beyond the acceptable limit for tourists, and who knows where (or with whom) I might end up. I'll bet most of my friends and readers have NEVER thought about what it might be like to be a minority in a foreign land. Well, now you know what (some) of us black folks have to think about. (Some don't even give it two thoughts. My anxiety makes me weirder than most.)

ANYWAY. That wasn't what the London post was about lol! Sorry. The London post was actually about me wanting to go to London. I do! I haven't particularly wanted to visit any part of Europe, save for Italy and Spain (see the above paragraph). BUT I have started developing an interest in the area. Mainly because of my new bag which was shipped to me from Farnborough. Which I am obsessed with. And is being delivered today!

Also, I realized I love watching documentaries about London's history and I actually kind of want to see the city. Or live there. Long enough to pick up the accent. Actually, that's what this is about.. the accent. Lord, help me. 


Now for the M! I have shared this song with you before, but some readers are new and need to be exposed to this simple but FANTASTIC song. It makes me want to go out and run like they do at the end of the video. Sing along!! (I did lol)

We believe in the One True God 

We believe in Father, Spirit, Son 

We believe that good has won 

And all of the people of God sang along

amen

amen yeah

We are free, He died and lives again

We will be a people free from sin 

We'll be free, a kingdom with no end 

And all of the people of God sang along 

amen

amen yeah

amen

amen yeah

Our father who art in heaven

Hallowed be thy name

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done

On Earth as it is in heaven 

Give us our daily bread 

And forgive us our trespasses 

As we forgive those 

Who have trespassed against us

And lead us not into temptation 

But deliver us from evil 

For thine is the kingdom, 

Power and the glory forever

We're singin'

amen

amen yeah

amen

amen yeah, yeah
