LET'S SEEK AND FIND PEACE AND JUSTICE!

Let's Seek and Find Peace and Justice

When Ig-no-rance is Fostered, Fears kin Rule; and So the CorpoRations Feed us Lies. They've Bought the Media, their Fav'rite Tool, so Greed kin Wear its Fool-the-Folks disGuise. Ashamed o' What-we- Do, we Hide from Light; we Just don't Want our CruelTies exPosed. AuTomaTons conTrolled by Needless Fright, our Minds and Hearts stay All-too-Often CLOSED! A Man once Said, “The Truth shall Make you Free”; he Said we'll KNOW that Truth, he Did inDeed! That Law apPlies ta YOU, as Well as ME! Let's PAY those Words o' Jesus Christ Due HEED! Ta KNOW the Truth, let's Ask, and Seek, and Knock; let's Not conTent ourSelves with Lesser Things! Let's Not deVour Lies from Empire's Crock; let's Find the Peace and Justice Kindness Brings!

Through Love an' Livin' Truth we'll Overcome, and Beauty's Sure ta Help our Project, Too! Since Corp'rit Media Keep their Watchers Dumb, let's Start ta Check our FACTS, and Git a CLUE! LET'S GIT A CLUE, RIGHT NOW, LET'S DO! What DO ya SAY, dear FRIENDS, ta-DAY?! OK? Er Nay? Lord, Help 'em Now, I Pray!

MADNESS OF THE ONE PERCENT

Madness of the One Percent

"We Bomb 'em, Steal their Oil, and Make some Gas, and THEN – the Gas we Made, we Pour on FIRES we've Set! We add some Cash, then GUESS what Comes ta Pass! It All Blows UP! They Haven't Stopped Us Yet!

There Might be Other Ways, we Just don't Know. We Hope they Never Find them, AnyWay! We're Never Gonna Reap the Death we Sow, and Wealthy's How we All are Gonna Stay!"

ASK ME!

Ask Me!

(as though the Lord were speaking)

If You're not Sure just What-ta-Do, please Ask! Your Monkey Mind just Might not Know, not Yet! You Either Oughta Rest, or Do some Task, so Ask fer Wisdom Now – my Help you'll Get!

LOVING THE LEAST OF THESE

Loving the Least of These

Abide in Love, exTend yer Love, to Me: a Guy, a Gal, a Rock, or Plant, or Beast; and Maybe Then, yer Heart will Start ta SEE: my Holy Light's withIn the Very Least! 'Nuff Said!

HEAVEN WAITS

Heaven Waits

The Crazy Monkey Stole, and Maimed, and Killed; he Didn't Know the BuddhaChrist too Much! He Knows his Crimes won't Git his Heart fulFilled – still Heaven Waits fer Him ta Git in Touch.

Why don't ya take one minute some time today ta get in touch with Holy Spirit?

FOR A COMPROMISED CHRISTIAN FRIEND

For a Compromised Christian Friend

Is “Love Your Enemies” just Stupid, Man? Is Doing Good ta Them and Prayin' Dumb? Are We ta Kill as Many As we Can? Is That the Way ta Help God's Kingdom Come?

Was Jesus Just aNother Crazy Nut? Do All the Truths he Spoke no Longer Hold? Ain't Greed and Fears and SelfishNess a Rut? Are We supPosed ta Buy the Lies we're Told?

Let's Think uPon these Things, my Faithful Friend, and Let's not Shuck ourSelves at All taDay! Our Violent Means could Cause our Violent End, and Doubting Folks all Need ta Start ta Pray! I have spoken.

So Let's us Plant some Seeds of Truth and Peace; let's CultiVate a Worldwide Garden Plot! Let's See the Beauty, Joy, and Life inCrease!

I Usedta Git my Kicks by Bein' Crool. I Didn't Care 'bout Love 'n Bein' Kind. I Thought that I was CUTE and Pretty COOL; I Thought I Saw the Truth, but I was Blind! My FaithlessNess, one Day it Made me Sick, and It was Plain that I must Cop, or Die! My Heart an' Mind had Been as Thick as Brick, 'cause All my “RighteousNess” was but a Lie! Ya See, I'd Tried ta Follow All the Rules, ta Be a “Good Boy” – Didn't Know the Lord! But Then I Saw that Praise is Sought by Fools, who Miss the Mark 'cause Jesus they've igNored! The Prince of Peace and Joy is BuddhaChrist; that Love's the Sweetest Love will Ever Be! That Love has Always Longing Hearts sufFiced, and Ev'ry Day that Love sufFices ME!

He Has an EneMy, BeElzeBub, but They are Partners, Also, Folks, it Seems, and If rePeatedLy you Botch and Flub, they’ll Both igNore your Never-Ending Screams.

But If you’re Good, you’ll Live in Bliss aBove, too Bad about the Tortured Down beLow, ‘cause You’ll be Blest by Mercy, Bliss, and Love – exCruciating Pain’s what THEY will Know! You Say that's How it’s Always S’posed ta Be, and hell is not your Destiny to Bear, but You're self-SatisFied, beLieve you Me, self-Righteous, Friend, and You don't Care!
