eat me you ancient lust-for-life

and i'll drive you to death with the renegades of jealousy

i've decided not to die unhappy

with envy or greed or copy-catting the hood

no 'fronting no lusting no strivin' to be lord

it's a screaming race to in-sanity

remaining sane in this malarial plot

of destruction and doubt

of lost footings while trudging toward renewal

standing beside the disinherited
the long-forgot and the written-off

to be there with them

with ones self joyful beyond the promised flout

ready to walk straight-backed on the plain with the mighty

the weak-minded and the scurrilous

those angry at death when all turns to dust

to be there ready and already rejoicing

when the parousia springs brightly

and the Lord will be Host

*...the deliberations within our soul to intercourse with the world must be the first and primary border crossing.  You simply cannot get anywhere  without passing through that terrain.  That movement is inevitable for life to proceed, and is often spiritual.  When God speaks to us, he moves us. But I suspect that you also may have experienced the terror of being stuck, and of not being able to move, even when you deeply desire to press on.  So this movement is neither automatic nor certain.

-Theodore L. Prescott

*So even when we have the ability to move from interior perception to artistic form, what we make bears only a  passing resemblance to what we perceived within.  Disappointment has been the downfall of many young artists, and some older ones too.

-Theodore L. Prescott

When Ure Hero Falls

                                                                4 My Hero (My Mother)

when your hero falls from grace

all fairy tales R uncovered

myths exposed and pain magnified

the greatest pain discovered

u taught me 2 be strong

but I'm confused 2 c u so weak

u said never 2 give up

and it hurts 2 c u welcome defeat

when ure Hero falls so do the stars

and so does the perception of tomorrow

without my Hero there is only

me alone 2 deal with my sorrow.

your Heart ceases 2 work

and your soul is not happy at all

what R u expected 2 do

when ure only Hero falls

-Tupak Shakur
