Hope Gap...A movie I highly recommend for many reasons

 

Two Voices

Two Voices

Hateful words flying through the air

Like missiles and poisonous gas

They don't listen

Being so intent on trying to come up with

The next argument to prove how "woke" they are.

And let the people say.....I'm tired of this crap!!!

Anger's voice is too loud to talk over

We need a peacemaker like Ghandi, like Martin Luther King, like Jesus

The Bible says: Make no friendship with an angry man

Why?

Because an angry man is a walled city that can't be scaled

Bang your head on his wall, he won't hear you

He only hears the screams of his anger

Anger, non-righteous, is a demon that is only afraid of love

Righteous anger is good but even that must be laid aside

Before the sun goes down.

There comes a time

When weapons need to be laid down

And replaced by handshakes and hugs

And let the people say...I'm tired of war!

You can't rewrite history

You can only write the next chapter of the story

Let the poets and the lovers and the godly write that chapter

Take the thousand dollar pens out of the hands of the one per centers

It is they who wrote the previous chapters of hate and war

And made the innocent masses pay for their crimes.

And let the people say....Ain't that the truth!!!!

We know what's going on here,

We who have ears to hear

And eyes to see

We know who it is that loves war and hates peace

We know who it is that conquers by division

We know what drives men to madness 

And children to nightmares

We know.........................

And we know that the ancient law of "eye for an eye"

Only led to a world full of blind men

"Tooth for a tooth" led to teethless people made even more angry

By their inability to gnash their teeth

The only people who will attain peace in this world

Are those, like Chief Joseph, who say "I will fight no more again forever."

For fighting leads to fighting and killing of the body

Leads to killing of the soul.

And let the people say...... Somebody done growed a brain up in here!!!

All blood is red (unless you're a Martian)

And all men bleed the same color

Why?

Because we are of one race, one species, one family

Sly Stone said it well in "Family Affair" when he sang....

"One child grows up to be somebody that just loves to learn

And another child grows up to be somebody you'd just love to burn

Mom loves the both of them. You see it's in the blood.........

What am I saying?

 We are all one family, one blood

But depending on whose voice you listen to and follow.....

You will either be a good or evil member of that family

You will love your fellow man or burn in  the fire of your own anger

It's your choice to make

 Hate begets hate, love begets love

The Creator will still love you

 But He probably won't like you very much.

Why? 

Because you don't listen to the voice of Reason

But are swayed by the voice of Vengeance

There are only two voices in this world

One wants you to live in peace and love as you were made to love

And the other one knows...................

His time is short.

And let the people say.....Amen and Amen!

(now give me a High Five 

and a hug around the neck, Somebody!)

Family Affair By The Family Stone

Questions Inspired By Lost Love and Bobby Womack

Questions Inspired By Lost Love

And Bobby Womack

Where do we go from here

Now that our love has gone?

How do our feet dance their slow dance

Now that they're walking alone?

When do we get to smile again?

Our smiles disappeared when we frowned

How do we stay above water

Now that the passion has drowned?

Why did our love die in vain

After living so sweetly in dreams?

Why did the promise get broken so quickly

When we found nothing was what it seems?

How do you mend what is broken?

Can the broken rise up and be healed?

How does a soul resume dreaming?

When you find only nightmares are real?

I don't know, my love, where you are tonight

And all these things, my heart needs to know

I'm lost and I'm going right out of my mind

Because it's the only place I know to go.

My Second Favorite Song Raptor................

A thousand full moons pound in my heart

Wanting to be....wild with you.............

If I Had To Choose One Favorite Song.....this would probably have to be it

Make A Smile For Me 

by Bill Withers

I grew up listening to this song over and over

and still do. Put it on loop and let the words

and music carry you away. Peace
