Last
few days words have eluded me, but I’m gonna give it a try now
I
want to talk about Jax and the Creative Director and the beauty that still exists
in our world
Leonard
wasn’t messing around when he wrote and sang “That’s how the light gets in”
We
cannot break beneath the pressure exerted by a greedy, gluttonous crowd that
only takes for themselves and gives nothing to anyone else
Neo
liberals and conservatives alike need to stop speaking in tongues and pretending
their glad-handing actually amounts to anything more than more red tape because
people don’t forget and people is what our world needs to always be about
I
flipped a switch when I was fourteen and accepted the sacrifice that comes when
you answer the calling and stop pandering to the death merchants and virus
peddlers around every corner
Christ
didn’t call himself God not even when he was backed into a corner and a crown
of thorns was placed atop his unwashed head
I
understand you’re feeling feeble and are fed up with all the word salad being
served up like manna from a very dispirited Heaven, but without faith we’ll
stay bound and gagged for an eternity of hellfire furnace kisses
A
crisis of conscience is just that a crisis, but if you grab a shovel you’re sure
to dig yourself out before you’re paralyzed by a low self-esteem and the apathy
that’s forever nipping at our heels
I
believe we’ve lost sight of what a perfect offering is, but that doesn’t have to
be the case if we hang on just a little longer as the doves of peace return
home and shelter us in their grace
Last
few days I felt as if words had turned their backs on me when actually it was
the other way around and all I needed to do was sit down in front of the keys
and rediscover that rhythm in my fingertips and endless streams of undiluted
consciousness
Jax
and the Creative Director get it because they never give up no matter how tough
it gets because when it comes right down to it we’re all beasts of burden that
need to take a holiday and start believing in ourselves again.
