NIGHT: l been reading the Bible
more'n usual here-lately, and whilst
| was settin down eatin my feesh
and drinking my beer and listening
to some of Aine Haggar's Chillun
talking bout what some Of us
leaders done said up yonder, and

Eye" my mind started to running

back to what | read what the
Prophet Isaiah said He was
talking way back yonder, and lack

there, and up yonder whose talking
and acting jess lack them that was
out in the front of the folks was
doing what cause the Prophet lsa-
iah to say what he said, and what

place, and all You-all dat amt read

yourself befo them that's calling
them self leaders but who in doing
nothing but filling-up Aine Hag-
CARS Chillun with hatred get you

the path til you can git back on

think for while when you read
here what was thinking bout and
what the Prophet Isaiah said, what
was this: O MY PEOPLE THEY
WHICH LEAD THEE CAUSE
THEE TO ERR AND DESTROY
THE WAY OF THY PATHS.
