"A Walk With the Lord"

It seems that when the Father pulls me aside
He talks with me stride for stride
Always a walk down a long winding road
The Lord and His Grace bearing the load
Physically weak, old fragile bones
A heavy heart beating, and my feet are as stones
A tall mountain looming, hiding its top
Thighs and back screaming, screaming to stop!
"Child wander on" the Spirit gently whisps,
"Mind not the pain in your heart, in your hips"
"Some walk for glory, and some walk for fame"
'You child, walk, for the experience of pain."
The Teacher within me, wise to the Light
Leading me through this, this fight that I fight
At the top of the mountain, I stop and look down
A crisp smile replacing what once was a frown
Another walk taken with the Lord I call God
Precious, beyond precious this journey I've trod.

Class Warfare?

In a world where the difference between the haves and the have nots has never been more drastic, republican leaders call attempts at higher taxes for the wealthy, class warfare. What the fart blossoms fail to recognize is that class warfare has been active and well, and all the rich turds republicans represent have been winning at it for a very long time now. With each battle they fight and win, their bank accounts and offshore interests grow beyond comprehension, and they sit high atop their worldly pedestals and look down on the lowly, the folks who they wage war on. There is a class war happening no doubt, but it is people who fancy themselves republicans who started it. Their bank accounts may be full, but their words are empty. They have nice cars and nice houses, and stained souls and dirty deeds all the same. Cry at the top of your filthy lungs that higher taxes on the rich are the beginnings of a class war. The poor and disadvantaged have been screaming about it far louder and far longer than you heartless fucks could ever care to know, and the time will come when you shall pay for your ignorance of when this war really began and who started it.

Fuku-fucking-shima anyone?

This is one damn weird world we live in. The tsunami created disaster at Fukushima happened in March. There is little doubt that at least three reactors melted down and lost all cooling apparatus. The Japanese have been spraying water on them to try and bring them under control. It is now almost November and what of the situation at Fukushima? Nothing. No word of it. What the fuck chuck? The age old tactic of keeping the lid on a situation that might make people nervous. What are ya gonna do?... Tell the fucking truth is what you do! If the Russians had handled Chernobyl like the Japanese are handling Fukushima most of Eastern Europe would be uninhabitable for thousands of years. Just like the Japanese, the Russians didn't say shit to the rest of the world about what had happened, but they at least had the brain capacity to know that they had to tomb their monster up or it would gobble up large swaths of land, air, and sea. No one will probably ever know how many Russians gave their lives to seal reactor four at Chernobyl, but even nameless, at least they got the job done. It has become clear that there are few in Japan with the same resolve. Spraying water on them? They waste their best and bravest spraying water hoses onto a nuclear fire, what a terrible strategy it is. What of the media? Where the fuck are they? What the fuck are they concentrating on while atomic fires rage upon the face of the Earth? All I know is that wind currents from Japan reach the United States and no one seems to give a fuck about it. American media is solely entertainment based, and I suppose it's not that entertaining to find out there is Strontium, Cesium, and Iodine raining down all around you. What a pathetic world we live in, and in the end I suppose we deserve what we'll get because of our stupidity. Hell, we don't need no water, let the mother-fucker burn! Woo Hoo, and some radiation for you!

Tea Party Fallacy

The Boston Tea Party occurred because of the concept of fair government. People were tired of paying in to a government that was giving nothing back in return; taxation without representation was what they called it. Those men did not throw that tea into the harbor to destroy or dismantle government, they did so because they wanted a government that actually worked for its citizens. These modern day tea party citizens could give a rat's ass about fair government; they seek to bathe the already super rich with more wealth so they can have powerful friends with powerful accounts. It is obvious as well that they seek to dismantle and destroy as much of the federal government as they can, with glee nonetheless. Our founding fathers made this country by building the healthiest, fairest, and most liberating government the world had ever seen up to that point. Since those early days there have been a many a fringe group come and try to destroy the government that has served them well, but it could be argued that this modern day tea party construct is riddled with more fallacy than all the rest. The Boston Tea Party was a small action for a great many people. The modern day tea party wants great actions for a very few people. These assholes took their name from an event simply for one reason; the Boston Tea Party was definitely done to make real trouble. In that way I guess they are the same because they have certainly caused trouble, but once again, two different kinds. I do not respect in any way people of the tea party, so much so, that I will never capitalize their title, or think of them as a real group. Their words are empty and two-sided just like their title, and to trust them with the business of the American people would be great, terrible folly. Thoughts of them have probably already delivered me to the Judge, but I hope and pray that they cannot deliver us all.

The United States of a House Divided

During the course of American history there have always existed great divides amongst the people who make up this nation. In days past our divides have gotten so rotten and ugly that we went to war with each other over them. That war cost more American lives than every other war we have ever fought, all put together. It is simply horrifying that we have made it through dark divides such as the Civil War, and stand today as divided as we have ever been. We have become the ultimate example of human kind's ability to put worth in things we create and not things that God creates. The 'haves' of this nation have in such excess that even Roman Senators would be envious, and that is just the way we like it. Those in this nation who have are disconnected with the other ninety nine percent, and this divide will be our undoing. It is comfort before compassion. It is choosing the wealth of a man before the health of many men. It is a sense of greatness when the least of us suffer greatly. We stand as a nation divided, and what a fierce journey it will be to climb, scale, and endure the mountainous piles of money we must pass through to become reunited. It is fearsome to think at this point what it will take to open the eyes of those who have been handed the keys to the Kingdom, and yet horde their possessions for a storage room in hell. We have forgotten our grace, and in so doing, set a curse upon ourselves. So it is like Christ said, "those who already have will be given even more, and those who have nothing will lose what left they had." We are a United States in a state of disunion. The middle ground has eluded us, and we have strayed left and right until the middle has become lost to us. So it is that a great nation wonders in the wilderness where a level surface cannot be found. No even ground to speak upon and so we go. Those in this nation who truly know the Father, and whom the Father truly knows; are the only ones capable of meeting in the middle, for they have met in the middle since the beginning of the ages. It can only be prayed that these Children of Light rise to the uneven surface we have created and restore balance to our nation now divided.
