Holy Bible Batman! Chick-fil-A Done Fried up a Whole Mess of Something.

August 2, 2012 by Wade

What’s that some people say, “Rules are meant to be broken?” Uh oh, unless you’re talking about the bible, and then, watch out, the Christian police will make sure you at least follow some of them, but, of course, only the ones that they stick to, at least when someone is watching. And that illustrates the problem with holding the bible up as a rulebook; there isn’t a single person on this earth now or ever, except for at least one, who actually kept all the rules; I take that back, even Jesus broke the rules, but then again, he understood that God isn’t a stickler for the rules but more about love and forgiveness.

the unleashed

July 30, 2012 by Wade

I am barbaric but fester even in brilliant minds.
I am the root of all that is deemed evil.
I don’t belong in this techno-world,
and, yet… I not only live
I thrive.
As your population explodes
I feast on your youth.
Education only disguises my numbers,
for once the books are discarded
I strangle all clear conceptions.

I whisper in the ear of the arrogant
and send good men off to war.
I stifle the fetus’ heart with learned hands
and drag black men to their death.
I clog your government
and tip the scales of justice.
I slaughter the lamb
and molest mother earth.

I swim in the ink of this fool’s pen
as he blames only me for society’s problems.
I will consume the world
for I am unleashed.

God is Evil?

July 27, 2012 by Wade

…and your grandfather said, ‘Suffer little children to come unto Me’: and what did He mean by that? how, if He meant that little children should need to be suffered to approach Him, what sort of earth had He created; that if they had to suffer in order to approach Him, what sort of heaven did He have?
Absalom, Absalom
William Faulkner

For me, sometimes, when I think about God, I often wonder about evil in the world and how God relates to that evil, and with recent events, such as the shootings in Colorado, I couldn’t help but think how this happens in a world overseen by a God; I’ve read blogs and even heard conversations where people hold back from believing in God because trusting in a loving God that “allows” such horrific acts of violence just seems illogical, and I bet, maybe, that many people contemplate evil and God, so I’m probably not alone in this situation. Is God evil? Or at the very least, is God apathetic to evil deeds? Continue Reading »

God is Love

July 19, 2012 by Wade

What does it mean when someone says, “God is love?” You hear and see that all the time. God is love. God is love. God is love… I get that. God is good; he loves us, but is that really what the point is? Is it that God loves us? Or is it that since God loves us, we should love others? I know in church and out among Christians, especially on Facebook, you get bombarded all the time with the fact that God loves you. Everything is all right. Send down the rain because God loves you, so he won’t give you more than you can handle. If you view that phrase as God loves you, that act really seems more inward, more about what God is giving to you, which is kind of selfish, in a way, but I know what it feels like to want to be loved, so I understand embracing that view point, and it is a valid point, but just not where I’m going right at this moment.

i just want you to know who i am

July 19, 2012 by Wade

alone in the car
alone in a cubical
alone under the highway underpass
kids screaming
can’t sleep
keep my head down
i wonder how mom is doing
pants are too tight
hair too short
i can’t believe i’m pregnant
i can’t believe i lost it
i can’t believe she’s finally here
missing the one i gave up
the days creep along
day’s almost over
shall i end it all
would anyone even care
i’m getting married
i want a divorce
i just wish someone was around
worthless
broken
homeless
depressed
what’s her name
should i take a chance
should i get high
should i take a nap
i’m here all around you
every second of every day
just acknowledge me
just accept my faults
just love me
because
i want you to know who i am
i need you to know who i am
i just want you…
i just want you…
to know who i am
