Now The Lord said unto Abram
“go now unto a land that I will show thee.
I will make of thee a great nation
and through thee bless each family”
He went forth the land of Canaan
and God said “unto thy seed I give this land”.
So built he an altar unto The Lord
and pitched his tent where it stand
Thus The Lord said unto Abram
“as the dust of the earth will I make thy seed,
that if a man can number the dust
so then shall thy descendants breed”
And The Lord said “that thy seed
shall be a stranger in a land that’s not theirs,
a land to shed tears, sweat and blood
and afflict them four hundred years”
“And that nation whom they serve
will I judge, and they shall come out again”.
God made a covenant with Abram
that their bondage not be in vain
“The river of Egypt to the Euphrates
unto thy seed have I given this land all.
This I promise the nation of Israel
should they hearken unto my call”
God said “thy name shall be Abraham -
a father to many nations have I made thee.
I will make thee exceedingly fruitful
and kings of thy numbered seed will be”
“Between us an everlasting covenant
will you and thy seed follow long after you,
and as a token betwixt you and me
shall ye be circumcised old and new”
And God said unto Abraham “behold
that Sarah, thy wife, shall bear you a son,
and you shall call his name Issac
and he will see my covenant done”
God did tempt and test Abraham
that alas he take his only son for a sacrifice,
and he bound Issac upon an altar
and took his knife that he pay a price
The angel of The Lord called to him
saying “Abraham, Abraham, here am I,
lay not thine hand upon the lad
and fear not that thy son must die”
The angel of The Lord called again
saying “that because you in obedience did,
I will multiply thy seed as the stars
and posses thy gate of all foes amid

I won't be back down
I won't be goaded into a fight
I know what I want
And I always get it
Just watch
It's always meaningful when you are a part of it
Life is boring without me
Meaning
What meaning?
It's only when you make of it
True religion
The one within you
Don't take you to a church
if you don't have it within
I don't have to explain it to you
There's only one I worry
It's the One I can't explain
It's the One I answer to
Don't infringe me
And I won't infringe you
Take me at face value
as I don't play around
Why does everything have to be so hard?
It is not
Take it from me
If it's too hard
it is not for you
Run...
What is freedom if you are not willing to pay a price?
Too much explaining can drive one banana
Don't start now
The one who thinks he can is actually can
Does it make sense?
Haha
Hope not
because that is when you get it
Lol
That will take some time
Just kidding
Want to pull your leg
It's actually long
Don't wanna
Haha
Get your message somewhere else
'cause this chic is going to bed
There's a price to be paid for everything.
Nothing in life is free;
So be sure of a thing and the price to be paid,
Is it worth it? If not let it be.
We pay a price for whatever we do.
Where we go, who we see, what we say.
Even the way we wear our hair,
Is discussed and recounted next day.
Nobody worries 'bout right or wrong,
Or gives credit for circumstance.
Nobody cares if you're misunderstood,
Or about your innocence.
People watch people, for sure this is true.
It's self entertainment they seek;
So they watch other people in hopes they will find,
Some excitement to perk up their week.
So be careful about the places you go.
Speak clearly whenever you speak.
Be careful about the way you dress.
Keep your manner mild and meek.
People bend words and make up tales,
About who they saw when and where.
They care little about who they hurt with their words,
As long as they get to share.
They seek entertainment, popularity,
They seek to be amused.
They don't think about their target,
Or how they're being used.
But nothing in life is free, My Dear,
And they'll pay the piper too.
They'll pay for their words and they'll pay for their deeds,
Just like me and you.
Bela Kun led Hungary and a communist regime
Eight Jewish commissars were part of his team
The Reds couldn’t run an economy, or even a town:
Instead of admitting fault, they only doubled down,
They could have wondered why food vanished from the stores.
but they hung dissenters from lampposts by the scores.
When Ed Teller was brought up in Budapest, it had been great
He loved math: a subject schoolkids like to hate
Then Bela came in, engaged in suppression
Ed's mom said their fellow Jews would pay a price for Kun's oppression.
Most Jews were not commies, but truth to tell
for a disproportionate number, Marxism cast a spell.
Its not really fair to blame Jews for Bela Kun
But you can't expect fairness from everyone
The Jewish Middle class resented Commie rule
They knew flirting with Marx was the romance of a fool.
Leon Trotsky led the Red Army to victory, more's the pity
His original name was Bronstein, his story makes me ill.
Years before he was killed by agents in Mexico City
A Rabbi told him "Trotskys make revolutions but Bronsteins pay the bill."
Ed became father of the Hydrogen bomb, a power immense
He also supported Reagan's effort at missile defense
He believed strength was the best way to stop war
Not religious, but conservative, common sense to the core.
When radicals play with fire, millions pay.
My dad knew Ed Teller; this history isn’t far away:
Even my grandfathers grew up before Russia turned Red.
Reds promise freedom but create an ant heap instead.
Jews should learn more than most where all this leads
They get clobbered first by Messianic creeds.
ONE HIT OF ME AND YOUR FOREVER CHASING THAT
SOLD YOUR SOUL FOR A FEELING, NOW YOU WANNA BUY IT BACK
HERE'S A LONG STORY SHORT BOUT A DRUG NAMED CRACK
SEE THAT SOUL YOU SOLD WASN'T YOURS TO SELL
GOOD THING FOR YOU GOD ALWAYS PREVAILS
BUT YOU WONT GET OFF THAT EASY, YOU MUST STILL PAY A PRICE.
IT DON'T COST MONEY BUT YOU HAVE TO GIVE YOUR LIFE
ITS DOUBLE WHAT YOU SOLD
AND YOU MUST REAP WHAT YOU SOWED
PAY YOUR DEBT TO SOCIETY AND SETTLE ALL YOUR DRAMA
AIN'T NO DODGING THIS SOME CALL HER KARMA.
NOW HIT YOUR KNEES, TIME TO REPENT
PRAYERS GO UP BLESSINGS GET SENT.
REPLACE THE THOUGHT WITH LOVE, THAT'S MENTAL EQUIVALENT
FINALLY YOUR FREE AND AIN'T NO COMING BACK
REMEMBER GOD IS THE STRONGEST AND AFTER HIM IS CRACK
Pay for your sins in life to live
At checkout (death)
Remember to pay the full bill
You won't be admitted further until you do so
Don't you think?
So I believe...
Remember:
Everything must be paid for
Every ounce of life has to be answered for
Every gram of everything is counted
Every deed is listed
There is a price for everything
If you paid in life, Is it free in the hereafter?
There is a hierarchy
If you believe
Since you were born
Did you or did you not pay your mother
For carrying you? Caring for you
Did you lie, deceive or cheat anyone since birth
Did you sin,
If you believe in a higher power
Did your actions hurt anyone
Can you justify them
If you can't or they go against anyone
You will have to pay a price
Is there forgiveness?
Will there be forgiveness from them that you hurt
Then wont there be a price for their wounds
Can anyone afford to be so generous to forgive you
Generosity is a big move,
When everyone works out everything is counted
When they may need it themselves
Every penny is counted
If you can't pay
Nothing is free
Welcome to hell
Where you will be slave for everyone
Where you will abide
And wonder why?
Some consolation for the wounded
Derived from love and hate ,
From people who think their righteous in this world
Who condemn you in a flash of an eye
And there actions speak louder than words
So pay your debts before your end.
Don't leave them till the end.
Here's hoping you get yours as I'll get mine.
Say in the light you received 80 pennies to get through life
How where they spent?
In this game of life
Did you gain or did you lose them all
Are you in debt?
Guess where you are going
Most cherished answers
Love
Care
Generosity
Health
What is your bill total
And don't award yourself some more
The game of life is filled with greed,
People that are eager to fill a need
Money takes first place,
While what is most important becomes erased
Family’s pay a price
Just to have something nice,
You can’t take it when you die
None of this will matter in the sky.
Yet so much damage is caused by the dollar
It does not take being a well known scholar
To see the effects of what it brings
Look around at everyone and everything
People have killed themselves over stocks
While there are so many children that don’t even have socks.
Money is good to have, but not when it makes you go mad
Many have sold their souls just to obtain the most
Inside it's their "god" and has become their personal ghost,
Their wants grow into unfruitful trees,
Little streams become ravenous seas.
When you put it all into perspective,
When you know the true meaning of life,
It’s not about what materials you have,
It is about if you lived in peace, or in strife,
Did you get to enjoy your children, husband or wife?

I am the gentlest and kindest guy
anyone has ever met,
lose my trust and you'll lose everything...
missing out on a lot;
I hate cheaters and liars
who fake their feelings
and end up in tears begging, hoping
that their mistake won't be goodbye!
Was it worth lying,
afraid of losing one?
Holding on to guys,
sharing their hearts:
you were a terrible thief getting caught
when words got mixed up
and you call his name instead of mine...
ah, you could have avoided crying!
Lose my trust and you'll lose everything,
before skies were blue, now they are grey;
before you had what you desired and didn't realize
that making the wrong turn made you pay a price!
Lose my trust and you'll lose everything,
even my affection and sympathy!
You weren't chosen by luck
and picked a lovely daisy to pluck;
it all came from me, from my generosity...
I got struck by a heavy rock
and bleeding I understood my plan stupidity:
sometimes wisdom comes late to hurt and shock!
Lose my trust and you'll everything,
you'll lose the essence of joy and hold nothing!
I can be the sweetest and kindest man,
if I get angry, step aside and get away from me;
you haven't shown to be too trustworthy,
your play has ended, the curtain is down!
Purposefully put together
Piled up piece by piece
Donning my suit of armor
Thought it provided peace
Polished exterior portrayed
That I had it all figured out
Buttoned up from head to toe
Yeah that’s what I’m about
Pay a price to put on a show
As the projecting takes a toll
Time to lay down my shield
To start tuning into my soul
Looking inward can reveal
Kinks in the armor are alright
Using them to our advantage
Since they let in the light
Illuminating what was hidden
Revealing spots that were blind
Done with depicting an image
Choosing to live life by design
Seeing through clear eyes now
Guiding me to let down my guard
Defenses have been dismantled
My heart no longer behind bars
In the sixties, a mere chemical fooled Timothy Leary
He became a missionary, to the jaded, the weary
He thought he had the answer to the question:
how to get the key to the doors of perception.
We could become one with a conscious field
That only trickles in; you could make the walls yield
More than that, LSD could make us aware
That love was the underlying fact out there.
Could we "fathom hell or soar angelic"
just by taking a psychedelic?
Could we enter "the endless flame that contains"
sense, sleep, glory and God's hundred names?
Ken Kesey was an attendant on a psychiatric floor.
The delusions of patients were hard to ignore.
Then he took LSD, and the patients seemed sane -
He thought he was decoding their meaning, their pain,
So he wrote a novel while high on LSD:
Sadistic nurse Ratchet versus inmate Murphy
The insane were the rebels, society the straitjacket
Was madness just a capitalist racket?
Some say insanity reacts to an insane planet
Just a sane response to the rulers that ran it.
But then the mad were let loose on our streets.
If you ignore harsh reality, then history repeats.
LSD we now know, alters electrical activity in the brain
Those who think they've found the cosmos, are hoping in vain.
Like any drug, when you take it, you are rolling the dice
It may not be so bad, or you may pay a price.
Brain areas communicate, Synesthetic senses cross
It makes paranoids worse, not worth the dice toss.
To be free you have to be in charge, and be whole
Without reason, you are no longer in charge of your soul.
Civil rights lawyers didn't realize that brain affects mind.
If you ignore basic facts, you are not being kind.
The homeless mentally ill have no walls, but aren't free.
There's little romance in losing touch with reality.
