A Poem and a Rant

RACHEL HASN'T TITLED IT YET
Check it, I was sin infected, but God's resurrectin me,
Satan's tryin his best with me, temptin and testin me,
He trys to mess with me, by addin chicks to mix me up like a recipe,
But even so, God just wants the best of me,
God's freein me from seein' girls shakin their backside,
Their booty is a ragin' temptation to backslide,
That's right, you heard it, I said I ain't perfect,
It took me a while but finally I've learned it,
God's grace, I used to think I took first place and earned it,
People also gave me grace, but I never returned it,
But God ain't concerned with so much that I mess up,
He'd rather me get on with life, but first just fess up,
I used to stress stuff I see that now don't really matter,
It would piss me off, and little things just made me madder,
But now I wanna wrestle God for my blessing like Jacob,
And shake up this world, and get them to wake up,
But first i need to lay my life down and take up my cross,
Take up God's armor, and tell the snake to get lost.

This is something I wrote about a month ago... as you could, um, tell from the date. I don't like the last 2 lines... so you'll prolly see me fix it sometime down the road.. when? who knows.

I am so very curious about the moment in time when someone asked you "How are you doing?" or "How have you been doing?" and you say "Fine." that it became a bad thing, and inherently means something is wrong. Because I didn't get the memo, but it seems many other people did in fact get some sort of a memo. The memo they received must have been a hoax, because things being "fine" DOES NOT mean that things are wrong. Sorry people have lied to you in the past, but have I lied to you... no, I have not.


Greed: n. An excessive desire to acquire or possess more than what one needs or deserves, especially with respect to material wealth.

Greed is bad... don't get greedy... it usually doesn't pay off.


I'm a brand new man in a foreign land, I'm a man who's feelin' that fire,
And it's all so clear when I'm standing here, In the peak of my desire.
