Heart Where the Heart Is

I have seen it all I have seen them all Kings, Queens to those with no claim at all You all rise, YOU ALL Fall Your fire is my reason.... And then No flame at all... weak and I am invincible I hate you As you do not treat me as your God Hold on....I made you But still I Love and I keep you As that's my only job Still you rob and rape forsake me and still ain't finished You take, you take, you take, When will you replenish Still I am respected not as I once was I guess it's the old law of sods, Every day I keep you but you pray to ten other Gods I used to be worshipped as an overlord I am now raped and manipulated As the Bruised girl left sore by the soldier in war, That my veins have warmly washed as her tears pour I cry more as the years pour Losing more of your self Controlled by them more Them, they have always been Just different times different regimes They pimp me out lemme know whose boss They control my tears and my core temperatures a bit off To ensure that food consumption carries the highest cost Weather control, power at any cost Is to blame for Tsunami's and other mass life loss Mon frère my sister my son my king What I say is true Don't listen to em Believe what you hear as I say this to you It is what it is No care for the dying baby staring at flat **** No life in his limp neck looking like a new-old ashy pez Eyes bulging like he smoke Marley He slowly slipping away to the party As I see those over there to the West Throw away burgers and party Not their fault they care less Its a lack of Awareness means were aware-less Could we be more aware... yes Scared to ask important questions So you are what-less.... Blaming the media means we care less You should be fearless But in this age of instant communication with HD screens Polished more than Mr muscle to get our souls clean We see the adverts right Like the suffering is within reach of my 1080p sight So why is it we still wait for some massacre or someone to starve tonight You guys are not right... I feel like Nothing more to prove, do or say to you, You already.... But still... Look at you... Still not trying to change When you know the facts words of reasoning has no impact, I have had a revelation I am exhausted I am through I do not know what i am to you The phrase would you do that at home rings true Have i not been good to you I am waiting to exhale and when I do I will unleash my fury and say bye to you Kirk Jones

God is love. In spite of all our failings, he still loved us enough to allow his Son to die for us. Those of us who get that, love and worship in return. And, we love each other.
