Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever
Do not be carried away with all kinds of teaching
It is good to have our hearts strengthen by grace
Not by food, which do not benefit those who live by them
Jesus suffered outside the gate
To consecrate people by His own blood
Let us go then outside the camp
Bearing the reproach that He bore
Do not neglect to do good and share what you have
God is pleased of sacrifices of that kind
Obey your leaders and defer to them
For they keep watch over you
May the God of peace who brought up the Eternal covenant
Jesus Christ to whom the glory forever and ever

"For we know that all the rest of creation,
(all) have been groaning with the pains of childbirth
up to the present time." World dissipation.
Nature has experienced a hell on earth.
Since the fall of mankind, accurs'd is the ground
thorns and thistles it has delivered and dearth.
Eve's arrogance, disobeying God's profound
mandate not to eat of the forbidden tree.
The scheming of Satan had left her spellbound.
Adam ignored his responsibility,
learning quickly as he acquired the challenge
that "good and evil" meant loss of liberty.
Planet Earth became mankind's lifelong college
abused by a ravenous thirst for knowledge.

The first stanza is largely a quote from Romans 8:22. (NIV)
I also used information found in Genesis chapter 3, throughout.

Earthly terror comes to me deep within my mind lies malaise.
All things are tolerated, no constitution have we left.
Judges whisper slow regret; disobedience mushrooms.

BITTER FRUIT OF DISOBEDIENCE---
I've tasted the bitter fruit;
And I don't like it;
As I meander I think what's the use;
I won't tricked also by the sweet fruits;
I will place my feelings in my pocket;
My sins and shame not forgotten;
So I no more eat those sweet pastries and forbidden fruits;
I now heed and be thankful for God guidance, His truths;
I'm on a sound diet of obedience;
Living off manna bread;
Trying to live my life doing what The Good Book says;

I realized
That life’s chaotic ingredients
Was manifested
By my own disobedience
Through my misguided Journey
Of acrimony
Scuttling on my belly like a snake I crawled
The enemy recruited me into his army
He didn’t love me, he only wanted to harm me
Through the trenches
Trying to get back to Jesus
Like a baby, I bawled
Satisfying self was the devil device
I fell for his trickery and attended to his lies
I was confused by this aggravation
Couldn’t understand my situation
Through this misconception
I sought out the light
Disobedience
A disastrous ingredient
You cannot serve God and Mammon
Sin is a prolonged grievance
It’s tiresome and it’s tedious
Psalms 108:13 “I WIN!”

The eyes of the world shall soon fall on britain
Pants of politicians and military men must be shitting
That's what happens when you spend 300+ years
Stealing from the rest of the world, selling imaginary fears
The most expensive advertising campaign will soon commence
Better evict the 99% from their tents
To turn london into a warzone
The entire duration the olym-pricks are thrown
£11 Billion could be much better spent
Feeding the homeless and paying their rent
british taxpayers, who foot the bill
So much corporate corruption, it makes me ill
These games, they generate so much money
Will the everyday british public benefit? Don't be funny!!!
The evil corporations who keep that cash
Could be better used to give VAT a slash
Or that temporary measure of income tax?
A thousand ways to cheat us for the fat cats
The harmful and deceitful greed that ruins this world
as the 1% raise their finger, on which they want us to twirl!!

Walking across a well-lit stage
I command my sequined graduation cap
stay perched up there!
I instruct my feet,
Don’t stumble!
Gripping my Bachelor’s Degree
I recall the gruff,
Bronx-accented voice of my dad
dead now
Forty years ago I received
his high school graduation directive
“daughters ‘ain’t fer college,
‘git a husband, ‘git children.”
Today my father stands on the edge
of a Heavenly cloud,
hands on hips,
grinning at me
I done it anyway dad.
What you ‘tink ‘bout ‘dat?

To never letting voting be enough,
And not abuse the priv’lege of convenience;
To stop excess and live within yourself,
Denying all your loved luxuriance;
To not await for change that must become
In revolution-based expedience;
To hearken for the age that is to come,
To live in Civil Disobedience.

A foible is the result of a flaw
in those disobeying the Law;
our ancestors defied God,
not honoring their Lord...
and they lost all the richness they saw.

The world is in a hurry no one ever wants to wait, no discussions pushin buttons too much
piled upon one plate. The who what where when why and how, are all related to the fear
that's here and now. It does'nt take very long to see the changes going on, there's a reason
for each season from the time that we are born. Life seems to get recycled the rotation
goes around, best believe you will receive from the king who wears the crown.

The lady,
came out,
and turned about,
she was on a shout,
kid heard it loud,
he shivered,
in anticipation,
stood fixed for a moment,
then shook head as if shrugging it down all,
and went about playing the ball.
