In 2009...Who Cares?

As we wade through all the debris and all the filth of the new year..reflect. As we try to scour clean the many lies, broken promises and half-truths that shall pervade our essence in the coming days and weeks..think.

Who cares?

No one. Really. Seriously. No one.

You are not special. Get over it.

But J.R., I am who I am. So?

You are nothing. Yes, you are..are nothing. The world spun a course through galaxies before you stole oxygen from trees. The tributaries of the Euphrates and Tigris joined hands before your soul twinkled under moonlight.

But I am who I am....

Yes and I am who I am...

No one cares if you author a whole generation of New Year's resolutions. No one cares how you intend to "change your life" this year.

You do the same charade every year. The world has seen this show before.

Who cares if you "erase" some friends...You might be too late..they may have already removed you from their existence. And who are you that you think these "ex-friends" even care? Silly humans....

Who cares if you plan to make a million dollars or get a relationship or dedicate your temple to the gym? No one. No one cares when black souls are lost senselessly in urbans jungle...

No one cares that some children eat from garbage cans. No one cares that innocent men sit alone in metal cells, contemplating life.

No one cares about life. No one even heeds death.

So why do we care that you intend to change in the New Year???

Gifts are Given...

Of course it felt like Monday. The chaos that normally ensues when you hit the jobsite was obvious today. Things were not going well. Things were late…jobs were not being done properly, but I pressed on as the minutes turned into hours. The stress of the morning was oppressive. The stress of the afternoon was even more stifling. But count it all joy. Normally the end of the week is smooth sailing. But normal is a cruel friend that only seems to show up when you don’t need him. I had to take a moment to just breathe and relax. In that moment God gave me a reminder – this job, this life, your assets are His gifts. God has allowed me to be in this position during this season and He is controlling this job. He gave it to me and in His wisdom He can take it away. It’s easy to stress or become frustrated over things that you think you control. But when you realize that you are where you are not because of your intelligence or hardwork or strength or resolve, then the picture becomes...

Ready for War...

The battle rages, from zero to infinite ages The blood drips, tasteless, and without fragrance The stench is foul, so flagrant, as I gaze in amazement The days when stars were a’blazing and Geico’s cavemen Saints blend in, defensive to sin, so they’re offensive to men Soul food’s not made in the kitchen my friend Visit with Him then ask for deliverance then Strap on the armor….you’re on a mission to win Dissent will come then as the demons are gathered And spring from the stronghold…but none of that matters I’ll take the Spirit and leave them all tattered Smashed into fine matter and leave their bones scattered Tell them stay off my lawn, equipped with Bibles and brawn Praising God with old songs and daring hellhounds to come Lucifer threw down his gauntlet, I’m dressed exclusive in blessings Satan made it to the playoffs…but heaven wins the series in seven Always testing, never resting, my God equipped me for stress And gave me resolve to keep living until He lessens my breath I’m imp...

Unknown to Many...

Cold breezes blow boldly, low feelings of losses No passion, no action, serene scenery glosses Tossed by swirling emotions, lonesome in this life Pretend strife is not visible like a bridegroom & no wife Because the standard is this, a man stands beside the Pit Can’t deny the riff as words of love die on my lips Tried & I tripped, fell over, but never in love’s shadow Tragic, no warm magic surrounded & I lost the battle Dazzled in my own light, not seeing the radiance of One So I traveled alone, not knowing I was only a torch to the Sun Deplored to run and falter, halted but I refrained to see Sought the other half of my soul, but she never came to me Remaining free, but true freedom lies in long hair locks That shimmer with womanhood and who holds a box In her bosom, for me and our union shall never part She will walk beside me and cherish my heart. As the silence from the keyboard dies miserably, Heather Headley croons “In My Mind” as though her soul had dined with ...
