Toussaint L'Ouverture replied, "I accept everything which is favorable for the people and for the army; and, for myself, I wish to live in retirement."

FireyAura on May 20I love this page! It is really beautiful! I love you little speech about being a Christian, did you write this? If so, do you mind if I copy this down because it is so true and wonderfully written?

A u r i e l l e on April 27Read this
When I say I'm christian, or you get the vibe that I am.
Don't write me off as "holier than thou", a goody two shoes or innocent please
Don't look at me as a religious, conceited, stuck up hypocrite
I'm still that same ol' D, just improvin from the wretch I used to be see?
When I say I'm christian I'm not shoutin that I'm clean livin
I'm still a simple sinner with a past now fogiven.
And since I've been born again, with a new life worth livin
I've been driven by my ultimate goal to make it into heaven.
I'm not a hypocrite but yeah I do some hypocritical things
just like a woman who's not of royalty is still considered a queen
what I mean is that, like David I lust, like Samson I fornicate
like a thief sometimes I steal, and sometimes I lie
I'm just keepin it real yo', and sometimes I cuss both verbally and in my mind
so...
It ain't like I don't pray, repent and ask for forgiveness
and not a day goes by, most of the time, that I don't speak to God.
I talk the talk, and try my best to keep walkin the walk
but sometimes I stagger and fall cause the flesh gets the best of me
especially during the weak points of my celibacy
so I find myself writing intimate poetry
to relieve myself of sexual heat but aye, that's just me
that's my release therapy... and let me clear up one last thing
When I say I'm christian, I'm not sayin I speak in tongue
and that I shout and go crazy wit the holyghost
I don't randomly take out a bible and start ackin like an exorcist
whenever I'm in the midst of a bunch of unholy folks
I mean if you drink you drink, if you smoke you smoke, if you cuss you cuss, if
you use it or sell it, hey do what you do
I'ma keep doin me, I just hope you're straight when Jesus comes back for his
people
and LAST but not LEAST, when I say I'm christian
Rest assured I'm still human, cause the only thing that makes me different
is the light that I have that always seems to shine.
I'm just a regular guy tryna find
what it is that God made me to do in life,
I'm just a simple sinner... if I was perfect... why would I BE a christian, why
would I need God?
I'd be too good for it and since I'm NOT, THAT my friend is WHY... I'm a
christian

poetryality : I Love Your Avatar on February 29Toussaint L'Ouverture! A warrior against slavery. LOVE IT! I once portrayed a teenage girl who had a crush on L'Ouverture from books she read in the library. One of the characters lines, as she stood to her feet and held up an imaginary sword; " by overtrown me you have killed only the trunk of the tree of liberty of the black people, it will grow back by the roots cause they are deep and numerous." That was L'Ouverture.
I love You ♥
