The Prettiest Face

A Prettiest Face
I saw in my life, slapped a
Man for saying that
Women shouldn't have suffrage.
He took her to court and won.

My honest opinion is
That people had decorum
In the past and would forgive.
I think of a Hippy saying 
It: this must have transpired
A hundred thousand times now.
Though, I don't think this would be.
A new world with new bounds.
So nobody has love.
Does anyone know how to forgive now?

The Wild Flowers

The rich man, with a beautiful face
Poses for a perfume commercial.
He says, "You get what you deserve."
I do not see this, anywhere, being true.
I see men like him, with no good,
Swimming in gold and whores.
I see men who have made less mistakes,
Though more taboo, destitute.
I've seen men, who did no wrong,
Still lost in a see of the world's forgetfulness.

I look at the flowers, they come up over the year
In their times. In little clusters they bloom.
Just like people, the more beautiful ones appear
For a short time, so distinct, but surrounding them
Are weeds. And the weeds thrive all year long.
But, the flowers are distinct in their times.
And they spring up, and they die... until winter
When there is only the Rose Hip and the Holly Berry.
He puts his finger to his mouth, and says "Be quiet."
Yet, I know it is not true, for people are suffering.
Yes, indeed, people are suffering.
And I see the autumn come, and the last Mallow and Chicory bloom.

And the rich men are like Barberries, invasive
With a rich, red, yet bland fruit.
And they sprout in the last months of fall,
And there they grow, not where they ought to be.
Yet, understand, the perfume of the Rose, or the Trumpets
Of the Currants, or the Daisies, or the Bluebells,
Or the Hyacinths, cannot be matched.
The oak of the forest, and the musk of the cedars
Are beautiful among all others.
Yet, the rich grow in wealth, and the poor feed their decadence.
And the writer is called a "Fool".
So what if he is? Was not Wordsworth a supporter of Liberty?
And then converted to a more conservative view?
No... for you cannot have the poets.
All must do their busy work...
Destroy art, history, literature, math, science...
All so the rich can eat, and the poor can feed them.
The peoples spring up in their generations...
And this generation there are the Chicories
With their bitter roots, though vitamin rich,
And they make a Coffee, and have a delicate flower.
They close during the hottest parts of the day,
And they open during the rain and are bright in the morning.

Pauline Doctrine is Christ’s Doctrine

The Priesthood changed, so of necessity so must the Law. Every dispensation, there's New Laws. Like in the time period between the restoration of Babylon and Jesus' ministry, they were granted permission to eat the fat and drink the sweet. But the moral law remains consistent. Not just about Sex and Masterbation, but about all of it. [...] And Jesus did say, "Do not sew onto an Old Garment New Patches" and "Do not pour new wine into old bottles." He meant not to mix the testaments.

[The forsaking of the Ceremonial Law,] it's part of God's way. Every dispensation, there's a new religious economy. In that particular season of the Old Covenant, it was a different priesthood in Levi. We have a priesthood in Christ.

[The Religion...] would have spread just as easy, being like Judaism. Probably better, as Islam does the same thing, and spread hundreds of miles in two decades. In fact, I'd argue people like those kinds of rituals because it seems like you're making progress. What's harder is to just be a good person, because of conscience's sake. It's very easy to think because you don't eat Pork or Shellfish, you rest on Saturdays, and you get circumcised you're better off. That's more in line with human understanding.

Trust me, I was there when I was young. It's very easy to spread a religion like that. All the doctrine is for the body, and none of it for the Spirit. Christ is saying something specific. That we need Him to be righteous, and cannot be on our own. We need to be grafted into Him, as a vine, and we being branches, will produce fruit. Or we won't, and thus we'll be sheared off and thrown into the fire. That's all the religion says. Is by faith we're saved, and not of works.

[But to contend with a mocker,] Islam reached Spain and Portugal, [therefore it would have still converted Europeans if Christianity retained the Dietary and Sabbath Laws]. It wasn't just for advertising. It was just a new priesthood, so they received a new law. Even Jesus said it. "Do not sew new patches onto old garments." and "Do not pour new wine into old bottles." The Law hadn't passed away, the new Priesthood was in Melchizedek, another priesthood beside Levi. This was before the Law was given, during the time of Abraham, when Abraham was still an Amorite. As the Law said, "Through Abraham's seed, all the nations will be blessed." So the Law was not annulled. It was fulfilled in Christ.
Every morning I wake, suicidal.
I thrall to get up out of my soft bed.
For no sleep can give me my hopeful rest.
I think I owe a great debt to my goals
As I watch those my age live, rich and blessed.
To my art I had given heart and soul
And I wished for a small sum from my test
And though what I wrote were the very best
I am poor, yet heaven's shores I shall go.
Where is my income from my great wisdom?
And am I truly kind, or am I wise?
Did I only write what were great white lies?
Live I do, seeing the youth marching on;
One day, like them, fortune I'll gain and fly.

Fascism Now

Let's put it this way. Fascism is good for an economy. It's just it makes war, and suppresses freedom, and it destroys those who disagree.

Like, let's put it into perspective. ICE is arresting and severely mishandling immigrants, and going after American Citizens. The Supreme Court passed a law that cops can come into homes unwarranted for "Safety Checks" and to document legal status. The Legal System under Trump is trying to undermine the 14th Amendment, to give them a clear path to strip citizenship. All criticism of ICE and its practices are being scrubbed from the internet. We took Venezuela for its oil, and started drilling our own, just so we could attack Iran, and when the Strait of Hormuz was blocked, it forced the other countries to buy from us, and we had control of Venezuela, so had the mega load. There's just as much censorship under Trump as there was under Biden, it's just going the other way. Trump is suing Journalists for speaking the truth, which no president in history has ever done. He's using the office to make himself billions.

Please Don’t Stop School

As a little child, I sat under my Sunday School table,
And I made faces at Ellen and Gary.
Yet, Mrs. Schaefer was teaching, and I was listening.
In the first grade, I was writing my alphabet, 
And learning phonemes and suffixes and prefixes;
I'd learn more in Middle School.
I took my algebra, had my history,
Had my science.
I'd put my head down, and listen.
I didn't do my work.
Turned in assignments late.
Didn't study for tests.
Got high Bs on most of them, because I listened.
Failed half my classes because I wouldn't do homework assignments. 
But, as a grown adult, it is about all I had in life, to give me any hope.
If you took that away, even, I'd have none.
