I Celebrate Education

I celebrate education
and dwell in inspiration
and envy for those
and their exaltation
to live in the higher
understanding and elevated
knowledge of knowledge
would be to walk among
Kings and Queens, and
princes and princesses, and
gods and goddesses as Id
hovers over the cattle in
their 20 hours of TV
a week and dronish
minds that can’t see the
world through scholarly eyes
and collegiate pomp and
confidence. Far are they
from the emotional arrogance
that accompanies stupidity
and ignorance, far are the
enlightened from steered
and easily manipulated uneducated,
folks to their own
detriment relegate higher
learning to the contrite.



Legacy of Love

God doesn’t need me to defend his
stand point on these matters. No, no –
non violence Jesus style is right
there in the bible for anybody to
read any time they want. It’s not hard, it
is all in the first 7 chapters of the first
gospel. Moreover, it’s almost as if
it is TOO easy to do. HIS words
are spelled out in English for the
modern person in our culture. God
has given us this resource for some time
and it has no reason for me to defend it.
But for some reason, people refuse
to indulge their own Creator, the
giver of their own breath, in a little
thing called Love. How can we love
someone, regardless of their whatever
they may think, which is exactly what
God does (I mean when was the last time
you looked in the mirror?) then how
can we look for potential enemies, seek
them out and kill them? It is hard to
do both. Wars, riots, bombings, suicide
bombers and grenade pullers, racial
hatred, religious persecutions and
“honor” killings are all exactly what
Hatred loves. Perhaps it will just take
a few mouthy people who understand
our place in this vast galactic post
of ours to open up and share. I think
that if I am to leave a legacy, it would
be a legacy of love, much like (in some
small way) God.



Man O Will

Man O man, so much to say.
Man O God, wants to preach all day.
Man O Will, will if he has his way!




That's enough for today. Peace!
