Psalm of Brooks#-
Find me my Lord, in broken spirit and conflicting thoughts Peace and Truth elude your son, they’re objects to be bought.
Your Mercy and Compassion are a refuge, a haven for the guilty Though my sins are mine to bear, no longer am I filthy.
Is the Devil playinq with my mind “God won’t answer your prayers, so keep fighting by yourself!” or is that my conscience there,
telling me you have a plan, a purpose for God-fearing me, knowing all along I’d put you first, that my service is key?
I lamented feeling abandoned by my family and friends
but when it all finally settles, it will be just you in the end.
Forgive me dear Lord for not completely surrendering
my offense is no sin, it’s self-doubt, not in the plan I1m entering.
You hardened the hearts of those clothed in judicial power
In the pattern of Moses for deliverance, only you know the hour.
Enslaved and in bondage, justice long should have seen me free
To enable .the lowest to overcome the greatest – government authority.
A kingdom in which the Accuser takes much pride
With Spirit, in you and the Word I wholeheartedly abide.
My testimony speaks of many Truths the unjust can’t deny You saved my life, kept me able-bodied – facts, no lie.
Your Grace and Love stretch to the ends of the Earth
my salvation was sealed the moment of your Son’s birth.
Not out of harm’s way, enemies plot, I’m still in the field it’s no secret to you I sin, I envy Abraham’s shield.
Allow me to publicly announce I believe in Christ’s resurrection my faith compels me to declare the Good News of perfection.
The Holiest of sacrifices, Innocent Blood, atoned for all our sins but what I was spared for is to make sure we’re making amends.
Divine intervention, 10/17/05, a miracle, filled me with the Spirit in gratitude and God’s Glory to all walks of life who hear it.
Restorative justice is a path God created us to walk
for He desires mercy and obedience, not sacrifice or talk.
And where better else to start than the confines of prison where corrupt judges are found and basic rights go missing?
George Floyd was martyred, giving evidence to the world
that its a system of oppression installed…swine and pearls?
If the wages of sin is death and Colorado tried to assassinate me Does that make taxpayers murderers who must pay the penalty?
The sin of murder is formed in the heart and ignorance…well, its no excuse. The plot and attempt deserves penance.•.or hell.
Let me be the first to tell you, integrity is an affair of the heart when prison officials lynched me, the Attorney General got smart.
On CNN he declared himself a champion of police accountability all the while conniving with judges to sanction racial hostility,
by tampering with criminal justice records and destroying video evidence Make sense of this in the wake of George Floyd – no precedence.
Indeed you’ll find the Devil patrolling even the highest offices By the Grace of You my Lord, I avoided an untimely death and sarcophagus.
King Solomon’s blessing of discernment is bestowed upon my heart Trust when I proclaim Justice Gorsuch was involved from the start.
He recruited LCF Warden Angel Medina to bury a competent witness unbeknownst to me, he was primed for appointment and I relentless.
Vengeance is mine, says You, Almighty Lord
E.D. Clements was a casualty that can’t be ignored,
Tooth for tooth, eye for eye, life for life – executive schemes, Principles of Truth revealed, see Exodus 21 :14.
The risks judges took to enslave me were ripe for scandal harvesting the fruits of labor was a matter Neil loathed to handle.
Listen when I tell you that life is lived in a world of needs I preach undeniable truths so temper all that “obviously.”
As I build my case, take inventory of your learned views while I repackage some axioms to serve a better you and you.
There is an ambient quality to restorative justice in form especially if you’re of an order that certifies you re-born.
Where de, we encounter “restorative h1stice” in our democratic society? Parents, schools, churches? See that this topic is taken too lightly?
Take for instance accidentally bumping into a stranger in public The one mostly at fault usually apologizes to the offended subject
That’s the practice of restorative justice in its simplest form. I concede that this example is a priori such that its the norm,
but basic units of interpersonal relationships like this exist, infinitely among the “social fabric” of communities that are missed,
as opportunities to promote respect for humanity and decency.
By no means do I define the principle, rather I frame its potency
If the offender fails to make amends, the victim is affected A fight could result or malice harbored – in apology peace is protected.
Resentment, if you will, could be re-directed at unaware people Consequences could be innocuous or benign but also dire – lethal.
I’m no expert, but I’ll presume mass shootings, God forbid, have some element of a misplaced sense of injustice short-lived.
Less extreme cases I imagine would benefit from mass appeal
Only a rudimentary example but certainly informs this need is real.
No offense could be deemed negligible in the grand scheme of harm My casualty, be it friendship or life, can be mitigated and cause for alarm.
Professor Howard Zehr, bless his heart, found it made sense that the restorative justice program I authored and meant,
should be successful at pioneering a non-profit organization
one exclusively manned by incarcerated citizens, in participation
of their own free-will, guided by a conscience of Christianity. So only as “prison reform” is a thing, this project is a reality.
Addressing problems (present company excluded, all my baggage), by posing them as needs and inviting the idle mind of habit
to openly and freely share ideas, debate solutions in assemblies, with the prospect of visions coming to fruition methodically,
is an activity that should not yield any objections or denials.
It would be the crown jewel of any administrative head to rank and file.
But that’s the problem, the glory would have to be God’s – alone
With prison staff meddling up the wazoo, its hard to get in the zone.
Besides its human nature to want to achieve professional success but the hallmark of S.T.A.M.P. is government control in arrest.
Of course the question then becomes, can we be trusted?
If you believe in God have faith – any other source is busted.
All this is still a vision until Colorado decides to withdraw false narratives, passions and prejudices, institutional of slavery installed.
As God called on his people to make personal contributions in service of His will, I pray that favorable conclusions
be drawn in and for me to work this place up Dear Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
I implore You to awaken the Spirit of confidence and hope, in any believer to consider S.T.A.M.P. in weight and scope,
such that their scales and standards of measure
may see that I have no personal objectives or pleasure
I have obeyed Your commandments my Lord
the Spirit must be equal part shield and sword
open their hearts and give them peace of mind that I ask, seek, knock and very soon will find
the donation of a computer with vital programs assigned to me as contemporaries have in hand.
Quell their malice, subdue arbitrary adherence to rules, pretext, hypocrisy, and favoritism are the craft of fools.
In a flash, like lightning, Your works triumph without delay, Our understanding slow, like thunder, reflects Your way.
Many bear witness to You granting this solemn prayer
The testimony You’ve given me is a sign of your tender care.
Who can deny your Majesty, Vitality, and Awesome Wisdom? Hear me world, prepare yourself for the Kingdom to come,
Jehovah is alive and real, The Word is Truth
Be still Brothers and Sisters, we are living proof!
Praise God and don’t forget the way in, Obedience, faith, and love – Amen.
