Vision From A Distance: Carden A. Michael




Version From A Distance is a collection of folklore, short stories, and poetry. It deals with a high level of spiritual awareness, black consciousness, political corruption and social issues.
But above all, the primary objectives are to recognize God as the Supreme Creator of this Magnificent Universe. Once men fail to coincide with their Maker, the survival of their existence will be detrimental.
Therefore, I plea to men to flee from perversion, licentious acts, oppression, fascism, racism and bigotry, if not the evidence of that which I have seen will not depart from the plains of Babylon. Men do change, time and season likewise, but the righteous judgement of Almighty God would not. Matt 24:15, 17, tell you, when you see the abominable and destructive thing which the prophet Daniel foretold standing on holy ground (let the reader take note!) Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: I feel strongly on making this point, because there is a fraction of unscrupulous men in our society , who has never imparted justice to the poor, instead, they sit in high places and afflict the poor. I am here to let them know that their time is limited, and that their cities are under siege.
On highlighting the Black consciousness, I see the need for reconstruction in order to mobilize my people in the right direction. Also to re- educate oneself from mental slavery and to detoxify ones mind from neocolonialism, colonial superiority and Black inferiority. It is ironic to know that our people's minds are locked by an ideology, which suppressed their mental capacity to think and to function independently.
(1) And ideology which teaches that we are less than human being.
(2) Their philosophy which deprived us from our culture and forces us to accept theirs.
(3) Their misconception and propaganda which caused self hatred, low self esteem and psychological effect amongst our people.
However degrading or complicated situation may looked, I urge you to believe in yourself, and to know that you were perfected in the likeness and image of God. There is no need for you to feel belittle, or settle for little. May the love and peace of God be with those who seeks after righteousness.
