(above is a still shot from his poem, “Coming out of the Closet“)
For those of you who may or may not know, I am a fan of poetry and spoken word. Karness Turner is a Christian spoken word artist and poet of whom I have liked ever since I heard his poem “Does Anybody Know That You’re a Christian?” which he performed a few years ago at a spoken word event called the Lyricist Lounge. I love how his poetry always has a message that not only causes conviction but also brings about introspection. Look him up on YouTube, you’ll be happy you did.
*For the record: (as quoted from the poet) The poem, “Coming out of the Closet” is NOT advocating a homosexual lifestyle nor is it [my way of] coming out of the closet. It is saying that Christians have taken the place of homosexuals in society and are not as free to express the principles of their faith outside of the walls of church without ridicule or backlash.
