Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied

Leviathan Slayer
Oh Leviathan!
As the angel whispers I
notice you walloping through
my Father's garden.
Trampling over the pearls that
have been misplaced on our mother's bosom.
Left for future generations to come and
realize the agony of an infant's freedom.
Why have you chosen to persecute
the sons and daughters of Elohim?
Striping us of our identity again and again?
Forcing us to build wonders untold,
then telling us that we're unworthy.
Oh Leviathan!
Babylonian Towers,
Egyptian Pyramids,
Roman Coliseums,
American White Houses..
Your derivation causes our blindness
so why do you denounce our existence?
Treat us as if the same sun doesn't shine on all?
As if my exhale isn't recycled through your inhale.
As if it hasn't all belonged to the winds since
'In the beginning.'
I denounce your deathly form Leviathan!
Truth and compassion are perfected everyday in the sunrise.
Eternal life rests in the son's sacrifice.
Our brother, the leviathan slayer.

Benevolence
Diamonds and girls,
is that the ultimate pleasure?
Lions and burrows,
is that a just way to measure?
Dollar v. dollar,
is that endurance of weather?
Or is the key to believe,
stand strong,
and band together?
Obvious answer, no will.
That's the outcome of stayin' real.
We fight to be the king of the hill,
while the view from the mountaintop..
It's so blessedly surreal.
Yet still,
I prolong my walk in the valleys,
in the sea with sharks all around me,
memories they whisper so loudly,
Tellin' secrets like I ain't know about me.
As the world turns,
the phrase I prefer to use.
Hardly got word from back East
that a G just flashed on the news.
Now a good man must pay his dues,
for ignoring too many clues.
We're all soldiers,
we're all lovers.
The way we choose to express it,
a mystery to most.
That G is a friend,
that G is a brother.
It's worth an extra thought to stop,
and pray for another.
Don't only prescribe,
we need to prevent.
To keep our inner-child,
Our benevolence.

A Stone Refused
The stone that the builder refused
is the same stone that the dove circles,
the storm threatens,
and the angel tempts.
When struck by a staff
the stone judged not,
but instead transcended his stoneness
and provided living water for those who thirst;
Just as he said he would.
This stone has now become the corner stone
sustaining the foundation;
The flower of all life,
spiraling into eternity.
The builder refused this stone,
but the creator perfected it.

The City Up On the Hill
Blood spills into the streets
as stars pummel the red carpet.
The desires seem sweet
then your stuck, it's a tar pit.
Who can flee
break free
from the jaws of insanity?
Vanity of vanities,
'Tis all but vanities.
Irrationality
leads to life lived shallowly,
so just let your passion be
don't settle for commonality.
Why buy it, when you can build IT?
If crafted by love, IT's a perfect fit.
When all else fails be per-sis-tent,
just keep on swingin'
you'll get a hit.
Lauryn said rebel,
her miseducation taught me well,
trapped in my own mind's jail,
burning in my own mind's hell.
Yet hope is near,
We can all break the spell,
Brothers and sisters you mine as well.
Rebel, Rebel. Rebel!

You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

An Angel in Hell for Heaven's Sake
Subconscious wars
embedded in my genetics
where the cosmic battle commences.
Manic highs
so I can peek into heaven,
depressive lows
remind me I'm in hell.
Where do we go from here?
They think I'm crazy ma,
"You'll be alright baby"
She comforts,
"Just make sure you take your medicine"...
Where do I go from here?
Burgers and swine,
Pills and bottles,
Clubs and bars,
Prisons and wards,
Mobs and gangs,
Sprees and abortions!
A suicidal culture,
Where did this come from?
We have the right,
To life,
Liberty,
And the pursuit of happiness,
The exposed breast.
But turn from that nipple
And notice the fruit,
That lies in the garden.
Surely an imminent death.
Suicidal Tendencies,
A product of my environment.

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?
