Amazing Grace

By Mr King

Ahhhhhh...
A fanatical man...
Completing this mission as best I can!

Like Vincent Van Gogh, cutting off an ear to spite himself...
I rain hell down upon Earth and Her People from the anger inside of myself!

But I don't use guns or real weaponry to fight my battles out violently...
I use only written truth heat seeking missiles launched only from pen to paper...
Metaphorically!

I use only red herrings and lyrical bolts of lightning...
Some people may overreact to what I say sometimes...
But is it really frightening?

I exist to point out the negative...
But also in an effort to reconcile more people to the positive.

Through these words I live...
And I through this creative format, knowledge I give!

Christ Vice is not the anti-Christ...
I'm actually quite righteous.
But I still have some vices.

I'm not a perfect man.
But still I do as much for the education and enlightenment of humanity as I can.

So for that...
I'm closer to being a saint than most.
I do this all through the Power of the Holy Ghost.

I fight against evil and lesser ways artistically...
And against that which is destroying our society and country through my poetry.

I'm not here merely to rule the world metaphorically with an iron rod...
I'm also here to help reconcile more confused sinners with God.

I'm not here to condemn everybody...
And even when I send these modern American entertainers, musicians, and evil spirited artists to hell...
It is only in my poetry.

I'm here to help set man free...
But more intelligently free...
And with some more social responsibility.

I point out the potential space which each of us have to do more for the cause of the human race...
I point out the fact that we can each live with a little more love, intelligence, style, and grace.

I show also that we can all be a little more like Jesus.

Why do we put him up on a pedestal so much...
And separate our ways so much from his?

We can each be like Jesus Christ a little more...
And we can give back to our planet and our fellow man for the foolish things we've done before.

For in these first days of the twenty-first century...
Complete destruction and then re-creation is the lesser of ways than is intelligent change and transformation.

But will we choose the higher path?

Or experience the harsh consequences and the painful aftermath...
...of life in a spiritual and material wasteland?
...of life without love nor respect for our fellow man?
...of life in a devastated environment?
...of life with a two-faced lying government?
...of life in the midst of so much impending death?

Why must we run faster and faster like lemmings towards the edge of the cliff?

When with enough knowledge, wisdom, intelligence, and understanding...
We can learn, grow, and make a shift!

  • A former member wrote: which, when all things boil down, we're left right where we started. We don't listen, we don't learn. We don't pay attention, we don't learn.... but that's where individuals with an advantage come in and help the process in the right direction

  • A former member wrote: as you've probably begun to notice, I rant and rave like a friggin' old nag, lol. much love, Reverand C.V.
