A Brother’s Soul-Stirring Poetry

picresized_1226030352_mike.jpg

Who Will Care

Who will care for the child

That has no family

Who will care for the child

Born in poverty

Who will care for the child that

Is insecure

Who will care for the child

Abused behind closed doors

Who will care for the child born with HIV

Who will care for the child that lives

In you and me

 

Black Man

Beloved of the Father

Longing to be free

Abiding in Gods love

Courage and dignity

Knowledge of His great people made by Gods hands

Majestic is this man

Ancestors are Pharaohs and Queens

Natural as can be

God’s gift to humanity

Poet and Minister Mike Santiago is a graduate of Omega Bible Seminary and has a Bachelor’s Degree in Biblical Studies.  Mike has published three books:  Inspired By God, The Spoken Words Of My Soul, and Reflections Of A Black Man.  Mike says he wants his poetry to speak to the heart and soul of the reader by bringing a message of hope, faith and love in the midst of pain, struggle and racism in America.  Mike’s poetry is also inspired by the men he mentors in the prison where he is a correctional officer.  You can read more of Mike’s work at www.poeticvibes.com.

    Mike I am elated to see how God has been using and elevating your gift of poetry. But eyes have not seen nor ears heard what God has planned for your future. Continue to allow the Lord to use you.

    Your sister in Christ,

    Viola
