If I pass you in the street,

will you see our Father’s mark 

on me?

If I have failed in this,

I’ve failed both you and me.

But worse, I have  failed Him

Please…

Let my brotherhood be born

in my every step,

for all His sons to see.

If I fall short of this,

do circumcise my heart again

that every breath I breathe

bear witness to my joy,

being first and last

a faithful son of Yah.

Forgive me, my brother,

 I pray we pass again.
