From Here To Eternity

By Mr King

Christ Vice back from a living hell...
Just about the time America fell.

Call me a survivor of chronic fatigue syndrome and manic depression.
Here now I hope to make in you an impression...
Wear this for life...
Carve this message into your mind using these words sharp like a knife!

Compulsive, obsessive, manic-depressive...
Lost my strength, motivation, and nearly all my will to live...
Felt helpless and like my dreams were all I had left to give.

Came back from the realm of insanity with no room for vanity...
And no time for naivete.

I'm an original "ye of little faith"...
Does this apparent oasis of victory right in front of me slip through my fingers like illusionary sands?

No!
It couldn't be...
Not when these words of truth, love, and peace speak through my hands!

And not if I can help it...
For within me lives the incredible super-manic, altered-ego maniacal man...
Mr. King AKA Christ Vice.

Was my schizophrenic insanity a part of God's Plan?
Sure, I'm a self-obsessed psychological phenomenon...
But so are Old Dirty Bastard, Marilyn Manson, and Method Man.

It's a fine line today in between insanity, stupidity, and genius...
And sometimes I walk that line like a blind man on drugs...

Still the Lord works in mysterious ways...
And I haven't stopped wanting to teach the world like the harmonies of Bone T.H.U.G.S.

I'm not a player, nor a hater...
Just a spiritual knowledge integrator, and an ignorance Terminator who didn't vote for Schwarzenegger...

Enjoy some now...
Save some for later.

My mind strikes erratically like lightning...
Sometimes it may seem bizarre or frightening.

But don't be a pretender...
Just surrender and have an open mind like I do...
When God moves me from the old to the new.

Honestly...
I know this poetry may appear to many as clinical insanity...
But I'm naturally bringing forth 360 degree knowledge and wisdom spontaneously...

God's Genius Plan ultimately arriving at all things is primary.
All else to me is secondary.

And the way I get from here to eternity is in between my God and me...

    I really love the in-your-face style of this poem. I think it would be awesome to hear this recited, so raw. Was a cool read, keep it up man.
