Edge of the Earth

Edge of the Earth by Ashanda McCants

I'm standing at the edge of the earth
It hurts cause even though I was formed from the dirt
Chaos is covering the world and its stage
We're all being played, like an animal that's caged
Like a fiddle, I'm a little perturbed by the situation
My mind is tailspinning like I got a reservation
At a clinic, trying to find an explanation
Tired of the news telling lies on every station
Tired of the mask beyond the ones covering faces
Tired of the lies that leave us all in devastation
We're all in this together but can't touch one another
So I'm dropping these words to my sisters and my brothers
We don't know when we're going, we don't know what will be
The final curtain is prepared and the devil has to flee
Paranoia on here for ya is causing mass confusion
Everybody chasing something but the truth still eludes them
The truth still confuse them, blind leading the blind
Both ended up in ditches where the Pharoah made em grind
More bricks without straw, more straw without hay
Our soles are tired from the toiling but we're learning how to pray
And we're living for today because tomorrow and soon after
Isn't promised unto us so we try to live with laughter
We try to hug our children, try to feed them well
But the television wants to lead them all to hell
And I'm tired of the lies, and I'm tired of being tired
Cause all I see is war when the fire is on the line
And its getting to the point where I'm fighting for my faith
But I can't say that I am weak because this mask is on my face
And its' time to be a leader, before the Father weeds the lawn
And removes all of the cowards who are pretending to be strong
And before I keep on going I'll just say it is the truth
I don't want to be an Orpah, I would rather to be a Ruth
I would rather have the famine, I would rather work and toil
If it means my soul is faithful that I know I'll have a Boaz
And the husbandman is Jesus, Hebrew known as Yahusha
He will step into the dry land, He's prepared for Yasharal
Gathering His people from every part of the earth
I am standing on the edge but I know its for the work
I know that He'll insert Himself into this perferct storm
So my sisters and my brothers, He needs us to hold on
He needs you to be strong and trust in Him to move
When all is said and done everyone will know the truth
Receipts will be pulled and Egypt's gonna lose
So we're standing on the edge but the army is confused
And the sea is parting, we'll crossover dryshod
To the place that He will take us, so we can worship God

Why South Africa is still so segregated
Why South Africa is still so segregated cyberchickHawwah 27 Views • 3 years ago

How centuries of division built one of the most unequal countries on earth.

For decades, South Africa was under apartheid: a series of laws that divided people by race. Then, in the 1990s, those laws were dismantled. But many of the barriers they created continue to divide South Africans by skin color - which in turn determines their quality of life, access to jobs, and wealth. Racial division was built into the fabric of cities throughout South Africa, and it still hasn't been uprooted.

That's partly because, while apartheid was the culmination of South Africa's racial divisions, it wasn't the beginning of them. That story starts closer to the 1800s, when the British built a network of railroads that transformed the region's economy into one that excluded most Black people -- and then made that exclusion the law.
