  The Beginning
  I am a poet.
I love the concept of war, in it being the strategy.......like chess.
I am also a cynic, which makes me knowledgeable and intelligent.

Taking what I am as a format, there will be three segments each week to this homepage.

#1 The Poem

I will submit a poem out of my writings each week for the poetic side of the good people who visit me.

#2 The Issue

One issue will be dwelled upon each week, which will be an issue that affects all of us, and that we all have opinions on.

#3 The List

-Forgiven List
A list in which certain people will be exonerated of their
 
  Stargazer
  Marching through a familiar scene
with passing thoughts of a life that
should be and a life that isn�t.

Reminders of a past and thoughts
that haunt the very essence of
a certain destination always dreamed
of.

Staring at nature as she unfolds and
looking for the answers that elude
a very sensible mind.

Not a failure, more of a tragedy
of unfortunate winding roads
that lead us in the wrong direction.

Yet there is more than there ever will be
and what is good for the soul
cannot be tragic and cannot be denied.

A life that wants more than just its
essence, and a mind that creates
this potent destination, invulnerable
to failure descends fast and buries
misfortune.

Impossibility is not a true entity,
only a novelty that we protect to
define failure.

Never is it impossible to leap
from a mountain and fly with
the falcons as they soar
towards the southern rivers.

Never is it a wish to grasp the
sun in its blazing fury and light
your way home.

Taking those diamonds that we call
stars into the palm of your hand
and making a celestial candle
as a cauldron to unmask the
fire of a heart.

Gazing into the eyes of a galaxy to
never wonder if you will be there,
just knowing that you will.
 
  The Conflict #1: Marilyn Manson
  This week's topic is Marilyn Manson. Alot has been said, alot has been heard, and alot has been fabricated. When reviewing a topic such as this, you must delve into the true content of the subject without being close minded and too conservative. You must ask, "Why is this man what he is, and why does he express himself in such a way?" I can answer this question with ease.
Alot is fabricated about Manson. Rumors spread that he covets satanism, and sacrifices live animals on stage. Kids are committing suicide due to his abominable music, and he is sending out a radical aversion against organized religion. Now lets talk about what is true and what isn't.
#1 The Propaganda, Music, Concerts
It is not true that Marilyn Manson sacrifices live animals on stage, nor does he covet satanism. He speaks out against Christianity, but for a certain reason which will be shown in the next segment. His music and the way he chooses to dress and appear is his business and right in public under the 1st Amendment, as well as what he speaks.
#2 Suicide over Music
This subject is the worst fucking argument of all, and frankly, it makes me sick. This nation is at its worst when parents of children have to blame music, among other things, on their children's suicide. GET A FUCKING LIFE!!!
Music does not cause suicide. If a child commits suicide, it is because that child has very bad problems which certainly do not root from music, but come from various places, such as the parents themselves.
To the Parents: DO NOT BLAME MUSIC FOR THE DEATH OF YOUR CHILD, YOU NEED TO DO SOME SOUL SEARCHING YOURSELF, AND BE A BETTER PARENT!!!!!
#3 Outbreak on Christianity
From what I've seen and heard, Marilyn Manson has a very strong point in his argument. He says that Christianity has turned into more of a marketing structure; or even a certain wing of facism. Lets not fool ourselves, not saying that it actually is, but we as prideful, greedy, power-hungry americans have turned it into this.
Jimmy Swaggart, Benny Hinn, and Ed Young have all shown each part of this. First you have Jimmy Swaggart, who is caught with not one, but TWO fucking prostitutes. Second, you have Benny Hinn who is a total fucking fake, and just makes a joke out of Christianity. And third, the worst by the way, you have Ed Yound. Yep, good ol' Ed who has turned it into pure facism.
I know this because I myself, among others who agree, worked in his congregation down in Houston called Second Baptist Church.
--The man walked around with bodyguards, as if a man of God would need to. What are you afraid of Ed? It wouldn't be the homosexual race you have put on the judgement stand and denounced time and time again. This is for the homosexuals, who I sincerely believe are natural humans and created by God also------------YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT WILL FUCK YOU IN THE ASS ED,,,,,,,TEN FOLD!!!!!
--Lower class employees like me couldn't even drink out of the same coffee cart as staff and members as if they held a higher standing. My supervisors walked around as if they were kings, and somehow divinely crowned by God.
--Oh, and lets not forget that a person of different race really cannot move up there. Not one man, other than cocasion, holds a high position in the church, but there sure are many in the lower ranks who are more motivated and hard working.
Basically it comes down to money. This is a mega-church in which on average of 250,000 dollars is put in the offering plate each week by the weekly attendance of 13,000 members. A ministry cannot run this way. Instead it turns into a facist business that tries to control the minds of bystandards and judge those who do not conform into hell and beyond.
I believe in the God of Christianity very much so, and indeed I would, at least like to meet my pastor and shake his hand from time to time without being threatened, fired, or restrained.
IF YOURE A TRUE MAN OF GOD, ED, THEN LOSE THE BODYGUARDS, AND IF YOU GET SHOT THEN WE SHALL SEE IF YOU'RE HARSH JUDGEMENTS GO UNINHIBITED.
