Lost in Translation was the beginning ... We built towers with our tongues— Not to reach heaven… but to divide it. We argued over syllables, Debated over dialect, Split churches over commas While the message bled out on the floor. We translated words… But never transformed hearts. It was never about Greek or Hebrew, Never about how clean you could quote it— Because even demons know scripture. It was & always been about living it. Love your enemy Not just the one who looks like you, Votes like you, Prays like you… But the one who broke you. Forgive Not seven times, But until your pride runs out of breath And your ego dies on the altar. Feed the hungry Feed the world Not for a post, Not for applause, But because somewhere along the way You realized… that could’ve been you. We shout “truth!” But whisper compassion. We preach “grace!” But practice judgment. And somehow we think heaven applauds that? No— We didn’t misunderstand the language… We avoided the responsibility. Because it’s easier to debate translation Than to crucify your flesh. Easier to quote the light Than to be the light. We turned the message into noise... A thousand voices, A million interpretations, But one truth still standing strong Love God. Love people. Love your sisters & brothers Simple. Offensive. Demanding everything. And still… we complicated it. So don’t tell me the world is broken Because we don’t understand the words... The world is broken Because we refuse to become them. So here’s the question Not what did The Living Testament say.. But why don’t we live like He meant it? ~"B"

Theme: Cultural Codes Some things don’t need explanation—they’re understood. Passed down through tone, tradition, habit, and history. The way we speak, move, gather, celebrate, and survive often carries meaning deeper than words. Today we explore the unspoken language of culture and the codes that shaped us. ⸻ Prompt 1 – Things Only We Understand Write a poem about a cultural experience that needs no explanation. A moment, phrase, habit, or tradition that would make perfect sense to those who share your background. ⸻ Prompt 2 – Raised on More Than Love Write a poem about what your upbringing gave you beyond affection. The lessons, expectations, survival skills, or values that still shape how you move today. ⸻ Prompt 3 – My Roots Speak Louder Than My ZIP Code Write a poem about how your heritage shows up in who you are, no matter where you are. Explore how culture travels with you.
