Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began."

This song made me think about something.
Necrophilia.
The pathological preoccupation with death.
As I think about things in our culture today...
I wonder...
Can a whole community of people be necrophiliacs?
I think I can see the future...
Maybe because I see the present...
Check it out. Yo, yo..
Death, mayhem, murder, chaos, simple destruction. Oblivion is upon us. Null and void, just like some suction Vacuum. Nothingness. Emptiness. Futility. Frustration. Das Nichtige. Despair. Inability.
The far side of sanity left a long way back. It's like we... Swimming in a desert, staring at the sun...and high on crack... Co-caine, dancing with the maggots and flies. Pro-fane, chancing every moment of our lives.
Rolling dice, throwing craps, more like Russian roulette. Drinking... ...lit Molotov cocktails. Hey, boy, we do it to death. (yeah) Death! That's our favorite topic. Zombies. Yo, we creatures of night. Skulls and crossbones everywhere, but no Jack Sparrow in sight.
Pirated emptiness. Witlessness. And despair "On Demand" Big Brother. E-lim-i-date. "Idol", then it's Makin' the Band? The Horsemen ride. Death's leading. Sorry...time ain't on our side. Hurry to the mall, get your last high, like formaldehyde.
Necrophilia. 
Damn.
Come quickly, Lord Jesus.

And it's always good to laugh at oneself.
Something from the past... Yo. So, straight old school. Late 80s/Early 90s gangsta rap. Me and the homies somewhat raised ourselves off this. Ice Cube and the Geto Boys were kinda like surrogate dads for all of us. Ice Cube's favorite statement from back then was "Life ain't nuthin' but bi#$ches and money!"Notorious B.I.G. followed up in '94 by telling us "Money, hoes, and clothes: all a ni$$a knows!"And we believed them. Ignorance propogating itself. Despair feeding itself. But DAYAM, the beats wuz hot as hell! Ice Cube "Jackin for Beats"www.youtube.com/watch?v=36OwSXbrUeI&mode=related&search=(Heavy Profanity in this next one. Watch yaself!  ) Geto Boys "My Mind Playing Tricks On Me"www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnRS-3AyGUsThink of these from a SOCIETAL perspective. Think about the SOCIAL factors from whence such obvious self-loathing came from. Wow. Thank GOD for maturity and spiritual transformation!!! Still...the beats were TIGHT!

Heheh thanks! It took 2 days to write that, thank-you-very-much!
Hey D, just saw the one you wrote on wisdom...
dude, sweet! Believe it or not, earlier today I was getting a little bit of poetry inspiration.
We'll see what happens. I'll try working on it later tonight or tomorrow.
It's about how we are in no position to judge who is "saved" or not. A person's addictions has nearly no bearing upon them spiritually. This inspiration came from talking with a friend who has been trying (for at least the past 5 years) to be free of her 14-year addiction and the streets.
You'll see what I mean when I post the poem. Hopefully it'll do justice.

Ok, here's what I came up with last night. Still needs improvements, so I might edit a few minor things down the road if I think about it.
So here ya go...
So you thinking that you know me
With your eyes you see me foaming
And I’m high but don’t know why
I get dragged back into the buy.
Need some kind of sedition
Cuz the aches grind all ambition
To be free... free from the buzz
Free from the night... free from the flight
Yeah, that’s my plight... into the light
They say that I’m a boozer and a loser and a user
Yeah, they have their own passion for a mansion with some fashion
They think I’m something useless ‘till I win this battle – ruthless!
“You’ll do your time for your crime you little piece of grime.”
‘Till I start to believe it
That’s how they all perceive it
And I’m high but don’t know why
I get dragged back into the buy.
Need some kind of sedition
Cuz the aches grind all ambition
To be free... free from the buzz
Free from the night... free from the flight
Yeah, that’s my plight... into the light
But I’ve seen the dark, cried in the depth, climbed from the gates of hell
Been in the cold, my blankets sold, lived in the empty shell.
Still look to God for salvation and I tell my kin of a new nation
Where there is hope and there is peace
We pray to God for some relief
There's so few of us of this belief, so few of us know Jesus
Still in the pit stuck in this shit but it’s my faith that he will save us
And I’m high but don’t know why
I get dragged back into the buy.
Need some kind of sedition
Cuz the aches grind all ambition
To be free... free from the buzz
Free from the night... free from the flight
Yeah, that’s my plight... into the light
They say my addiction is some indication
Of my heart’s condition going in the direction
to the dead, yeah that’s my dread
Am I really doomed? That’s what has loomed
in my mind – but it’s only what THEY’VE assumed
and I need to be free... free from the buzz
Free from the night... free from the flight
Yeah, that’s my plight... into the light

dude... this is crazy!
There's a movie opening up tonight in limited areas (only 2 theaters here).
This guy who grew up a few houses down from the house I grew up in wrote, directed, and acted in his own film called Self-Medicated that's won TONS of international awards... the friend of mine said she knew him. She told me of the movie. Hopefully the movie will come to MN soon.
Check this out... based on a true story right from my neighborhood.

When I see it, I'll write about it here.

"Say It"
I feel Your breath on me, You're whispering in silence My desire for You, so intense, no pretense, and no violence but I take it deep by force. Of course. Yo, I stay the course. I am the vessel, Lady Spirit, you are my Source.
Eros and agape, passion unquenchable Your fire burns me, consumes me, taxin' my all my principle of pleasure and wet glory, it's better than bomb sex Union everlasting, go from simple to complex
God, why don't you tell me what you want me to do..do for you...
Say it. Say it. Say it.
God, why don't you tell me what you want from me...Lord, won't you...
Say it. Say it. Say it.
I'm waiting on You, Spirit...but I'm showing impatience Inpatient! I'm going crazy, losing all of my sapience Your Love is like life support, hot and sticky in my veins. Warm like hot butter, Your Words sweet like candy canes.
I am truly nothing without You inside of me. Nothingness made real...but made the newest "Bride to Be" Ready to give You satisfaction like a faithful concubine. Enjoying the taste and scent of You, just like a glass of wine.
God, why don't you tell me what you want me to do..do for you...
Say it. Say it. Say it.
God, why don't you tell me what you want from me...Lord, won't you...
Say it. Say it. Say it.
To my Beloved. I incline my ears to Your Word. Just say it...

Rodney King.
Los Angeles Riots of 1992.
Video of Rodney King's beating by the police.
Warning: High Profanity. But necessary for historical perspective. Ice Cube (1992) We Had To Tear This *#^(#(# Uphttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGR7HonAUZI&feature=relatedAmerica, America... I understand why I was trained to believe that White people were the enemy. I remember when it sunk in. When I really believed the lie. I remember seeing this verdict...Rodney King...1992...hearing the "not guilty" I was a freshman at college. Just got out of high school. I was in the t.v. lounge with a bunch of other Black people who were actually crying and everything... At THAT VERY MOMENT, my doubts that White America was "behind enemy lines" for me...were absolutely removed. There was no justice that a Black person could expect in America. The promises of the Founding Documents were null and void to me. And so, the hegemony of "white culture" became my ultimate enemy. The ultimate "devil." After that, I listened to this song at least 5 times a day. No lie. Imagine how much hatred I had for Whites at school...all the time! And I vowed to succeed in life...just to prove to the evil whites that they could not destroy me with their LIES. Ambition based on sin, hatred, and egoism. I thank the Lord Jesus for my freedom... But America has sown some bad a$$ seeds. What do we expect is going to happen? Yeah.

God and truth are sooooo hidden in the pop culture. This song reminds me sooo much of the Psalms.
Profane lyrics.
It Ain't Over-by Djay
[Djay] Look this is my life, and it's a battle within I gotta survive, even if I'm sinnin to win And if I show no remorse I reap the devil's reward He said he'd, give me riches but I'm lookin for more When I was young, witnessed my dad, standin for right Black pride in him even though he passin for white Took years from my life, now I'm missin the man Moms on some other shit and now I'm missin the plan And so I'm... stuck in this fuck-a-marole All the lessons to a young teen baby was cold Then my pimpin-ass Uncle put me up on the game It really ain't no love it's 'bout this, paper mayne Put me in a position, got me out on a mission Collectin from the hoes turned on to my pimpin A nigga from Memphis dealin with life as a struggle This is the gift I was given so I just live by my hustle
[Chorus 2X: Djay] + (singer, ad libbing at times) (Keep hustlin) It ain't over for me, no it ain't over for me (Keep, flowin) I'ma step my game up and get what's comin to me
[Djay] Now I'm just gettin by, and it's FUCKIN with me See others doin big thangs they was nothin to me I'm seein what I used to be, and it's lookin legit Got my hands on some music, started FUCKIN with it Put it down hard, then I started bumpin to this I let some others get a dose and they was NUTTIN to this Let me check my connections cause we go back in the day Say they was lookin for 'dro, heard I was hustlin hay Got me connin my niggaz, spittin game to my hoes This my opportunity I feel like anything goes I was never 'sposed to see the new millenium mayne And I refuse to let my dad die in vain So I give it my all, you feel my struggle and pain If you ain't feelin what I'm spittin trick you late to the game But the closest ones to me know I'm holdin it down You gon' feel me one day, we gon' be heard in the town
[Chorus] - 2.5X, singer ad libs to fade
