My loyalty lies with You, Jesus Not a stretch of land / Not a flag (spangled, striped, or blank) After nails, a whip, a cross and th…
Every now and then, I’ll come across an artwork on RedBubble that ruffles quite a few feathers because it has religious/ anti-American/ general political undertones. And, unsurprisingly, I’ll scroll down to see about a billion comments, usually by the same 5 people, who all keep arguing with each other, with nothing to show for it in the end. Because somewhere in between all that arguing, they seem to get less concerned with what they were arguing about, and more occupied with trying to get people to believe they’re 100 percent right about their point in the discussion. It’s amusing (and a little sad) to watch, but it became a little disturbing when I found out some of these people were Christians. While I don’t disagree that, throughout many parts of the world, there’s an all out assault on the message of Jesus Christ, I think a lot of believers get too caught up, and defend Jesus with such ferocity that they forget who He is. You don’t really need to defend God, guys – it’s the other way around! This poem/ writing was birthed out of that thought, and also the disturbing fact that so many people intertwine their faith and politics so tightly, that they try to destroy any notion that they might be wrong about anything. It’s enough to make anyone miss Jesus, and the time when people really understood his words (IF there was ever such a time, that is – even when he was on earth, nobody seemed to really understand the meaning behind his message)
why don’t we learn from past!

While all the worlds security has been focused on ‘The War On Terror” , they haven’t noticed all the shifty deals etc. that have wipped out everyones wealth. How much has the politicians and bankers wealth gone down and where has all that money really gone ??

I wrote this “commentary” piece some 7 years ago … and we’re still doing it! / And “they’re” still slaughtering each other as I type and speak … its “normal” I’ve been told, its “human” my colleagues say, its necessary, apparently! Well that may be so, but it don’t make it right!
treasures are as desolate rented spaces…that quiet scream will not scream
an out loud thought of wanting…but what…no two persons see a situation or share an experience the same way…definitions are composites of perceptions and beliefs they change…humans believe what they want to believe rational and irrational and humankind wants to believe…but what?
I was set free in the mist of the 9:00pm Newsbreak / The delicious aroma of my meal still lingered

Super powers arent reserved for comic book heroes / They exist today but people choose not to see
Something i wrote, my view on super powers and super nations of the world, trying not to see it negatively but how can i not when most of everything portrayed on nightly news is, the media over dramatizes alot but it still leaves a mark! Some bits dont rhyme, its a progressive trip of intrepid feelings and rustic thought
