"The important thing is to stop lying to yourself. A man who lies to
himself and believes his own lies, becomes unable to recognize truth, either
in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself as
well as for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love
and, in order to divert himself, having no love in him he yields to his
impulses, indulges in the lowest forms of pleasure, and behaves in the end
like an animal, in satisfying his vices. And yet it comes from lying---lying
to others and to yourself." -Dostoevsky (Brothers Karamozov)

"We have elevated adolescence to a central value of our culture, and
we are driven by the restless longing to escape boredom. Consider the irony
of it all. At a time when we do see increasing access to the pleasures and
provisions of the system, and with an ever-increasing array of products,
goods and services to benefit from, we see people not more satisfied but
less." -Stuart McAllister

(Can Just Kiss Our Tissue Mass)
We grew up with Howdy-Doody
In deep Doody now we're stuck.
First we dumped Good Lord Jehovah...
Then "hooked up" with Lady Luck.
We were fed at Disney's Table
Our Bread of Life was Peter Pan....
Satan slipped us all a Mickey,
Here in Never-Never Land.
What's your pleasure?.... That's the treasure
Everyone here's looking for.
Talk of "Truth" is not conducive...
To The Elite
esprit de corps!
Thrill's the thing we're chasing after;
We've got gadgets,
We've got fun!
Now we're passing out clean needles...
We've got "tradition" on the run!
We've got fantasies galore now......,
Here in Goofy NeverLand.
We've got minds stuck in the gutter...
And our heads stuck in the sand.
We've got condoms by the gross, Sir...
We've got porn in every room.
We've got tatoos....
Body-piercing,
And down the line?........
Man, we've got doom.
We've got constant stimulation;
We've got Viagra 'just in case'...
We've got Cialis as a back-up,
If we can't keep up the pace.
We've got plastic....Give us credit!
We're charging headlong in The Void.
We've got babies but no fathers...
Sex-offenders....Unemployed.
We've got schools where God's not welcome...
And abortion on demand.....
We've got Flesh Intoxicated...
We've got The Flames of Hell to fan.
We've got classrooms for Ebonics,
We've got textbooks on Sex-Ed...
We've got books about "Two Mommies",
And some on "Channeling the Dead".
We've got "Winter Solstice Pagaents";
We've got "Earth Day" liturgies.
We've got Secular Agendas....
We're got such Rich Diversities!
We've got Yoga now in gym class;
We've got good "white wiccan" tales!
...If you mention "those" Commandments,
We've got a spot for you in jail.
We've got Gothics stalking hallways,
Vile graffiti on the walls,
Drive-by shootings after recess.....
And perversions at The Mall.
We've got "science" teachers teaching ,
That some goo turned into Man.
We've got cops and judges warning:
We've got a
real mess on our hands!
*********
We've got psychics out the
yin-yang,
And Psycho-Babble Therapies....
We've got kabbalist
Madonnas,
And Pop-Star Scientologies!
We've got Drive-thru-Liposuction,
We've got Tummy-Tucks-To-Please...
We've got starving "fashion" models
To camouflage our gluttonies.
*******
We've
got clean Abort-O-Clinics
....(Tiny souls tossed in the bin)....
Fifty-million now and counting.
(We've got no concept of Sin.)
We've no patience for intol'rance!
We've got no time for Bible-sass!
(All those backward Bible-Thumpers
Can just kiss our tissue mass!)
********
We've got a Village but no family;
We've got Big Brother but no Dads...
We got bamboozled by The Serpent;
By Liberalism .....
....We got
had!
*******
We've got churches who've got preachers
Who tip-toe around The Cross.
We've got whole denominations
Who forgot that God's The Boss!
We've got bleating hearts in darkness,
Denying harsh reality;
We've got "The Lost Black Sheep Agenda",
......But no heart for Romans Three.
We know somewhere that it's written,
That like sheep we've gone astray*....
That there's
no one good or righteous,
So that mis'ry marks our way.**
Lord, we've got this need for Truth now....
And deep down we know it well.
And we know without Your Mercy,
We've got a Snowball's Chance in Hell...
Lord,
but now, ....There's Revelation!***
And
True Righteousness we see!
Good Shepherd!......Lord, have mercy!
The Way of Peace!....
There's Calvary!

"A spinning coin cannot spin forever, nor can our minds remain
undecided forever, since not to decide is itself a decision, and as the coin
will come down only heads or tails, so we also have only two options, not
three or more. Either we conform our desires to the truth, or we conform the
truth to our desires." --Os Guinness

* "We all, like sheep have gone
astray.
Each of us has turned to his own
way;
And the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all."
(Isaiah 53: 7)
** "As it is written:
there is no one righteous, not even
one;
there is no one who understands,
no one who seeks God.
All have turned away,
they have together become
worthless.......
Their feet are swift to shed blood;
ruin and misery mark their ways,
and the way of peace they do not know.....
(Romans 3: 10...15...)
*** "But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been
made known..." (Romans 3: 21...)
