I write here against the satanic temple, co created by lucian greaves. Who have been
Allowed to post a video of ( a ritual infant murder ) otherwise called a b o r t i o n on
You-tube i beleive quite recently? I invoke
God Almighty to soften, the hardened heart' to empower those who seek fairness, and wholeness among humanity
In this misguided and wicked time..When
Evil is being promoted as benificial, and good is vilified.' And freedom of all peoples face attempts to be curtailed.'
In Jesus Name i pray.)
Excuse me I’m not going to pay
For actions taken not by me
And for the words I didn’t say
I never pay a slightest fee
You talk of moral obligation
Known as responsibility
Stripped-down generalization
Can work for you, but not for me
As time goes by, established facts
All of a sudden get revised
The context changes, and it lacks
The prior truth, cause it tells lies
Most folks are prone to something new
They take the current truth for gold
Excuse me for the different view
I’m not that young, yet not that old.
Oh what a mockery is the church of England..With its un-holy trinity.' Has
Beens..Or never beens in fact? where
A man, called a king is the head.'
Was andrew the second in command?
With an arch-bishop the third person
No wonder the whole thing is dead..'
A festering mass, of false teachings
Leperous liturgys; and sour coffe
mournings.!
Haven't you heard?
Actions speak louder than words.
So introduce ideas that procreate
change,
then put those ideas into action
which will in turn give birth
to new opportunities.
Make positive choices to create
positive results.
In other words,
don't talk about it be about it.
Haven't you heard?
Actions speak louder than words.
Connection misfired not quite there.
Wanting actions to speak louder than words.
I expected more from you.

Windswept truth whispered
ears listen to what is said
actions prove response
Each thought and action has a consequence,
it's energy sent into the universe
that attracts more of the same.
Wouldn't it be fabulous if everyone generated
positive energy that was loving and
conducive to building a better society?
Have we not had enough of bickering
and toxic fighting amongst ourselves
that lead to chaos, war and endless devastation?
Create the peace you want to see around you
by nurturing thoughts of harmony and acts of kindness
~ and one day the world will become a better place.

perhaps I did splash
a wet dash too much
when I was growing up ~
seems I was selfish
one fish too many
when merely a pup ~
maybe I acted disrespectful
an action too long
when just a forming hiccup ~
appears I misled my part
a missed start too often,
yepper, yea, yes, oh, yup ~
waz sup?
I am grateful for understanding in every human interaction
the difference between what a person says…
and that person’s actions:
If you want to know what someone is thinking
listen closely to their words on which you’re chewing…
but if you want to know what’s in their heart
watch closely to exactly what they’re doing.
May we be blessed to see
how we should use our words like currency.
Spending them wisely
careful about which words we choose to dispatch
Knowing they will lose their value
If our words and actions…do not match.
Would i do that.? Put the Lord God to the test.. Upon reflection I must think yes.? In
Times i have often tested 'others' humans
Sisters; brothers.. Made with attributes of
God, in His likeness, not in perfection, yet'
Sentient and struggling never thinking it
Odd, here i repent O Lord, bind up any wound.' Of my inflicting.. May we find your
Peace through eternity from here.' Nil

Don't play the victim, don't wear the frown
You're the one causing harm, spinning others down
Bullying, harassing, spreading fear and pain
You're the problem, not the one to claim
Don't shift the blame, don't point the finger high
You're the one acting out, passing by
Think before you speak, think before you act
Your words and actions leave a lasting fact
You're bringing tears to eyes, and pain to the heart
Affecting minds and souls, tearing them apart
Your actions have consequences, that's what you must see
Is hurting others worth it? Is it worth your destiny?
Learn a lesson now, before it's too late
Think before you act, don't perpetuate the hate
Be kind, be compassionate, be understanding too
For the hurt you're causing, is it really worth it to you?
What should be an atmosphere of excitement
Becomes something more deadly - more violent
A child's first sound should be heard
Instead silence echoes
Even before life began
A black baby understands
That in order to survive the world outside
Their cries should be kept on the inside
How painfully sad
That before it's existence
It inherited generational silence
Ones whispered through the branches of their ancestry
The unspoken rules that come with the guide of how to survive -
Being black and alive
There are way scarier things then the dark
Like the clothes on your chair, something innocent
Becomes dark and twisted
Once the lights are off
Morphing into shadows
Worse than any nightmare your mind to conjure
If you don't understand this metaphor
I'm talking about the performative actions of the modern day oppressors
How messed up
That we live in a world
That claims that us black people are the 'monsters'
Yet before our children are even born
You've forced
Our sons and daughters
Into a life dictated by silence
