CRUELTY AIN'T KARMA-FREE

You got a clever notion, man? Think twice! That fun you think is harmless, might not be! The one who hurts his victim pays a price – ‘cause cruelty isn’t ever karma-free!”

So, first, ya ask for help ta overcome your fears, ta help prevent a lot o’ pains and tears! ~The cure for being scared is being brave; the Holy One can help ya out with that! If you’ll repent and cop ta Christ, he’ll Save; he can, because he’s simply Where It’s At! The Lord is Beauty, Truth, and Love divine; He’s Life, the everlasting Rainbow Way. And He could be your friend, much like He ‘s mine, so why not cop ta Buddha (Christ) today? Right here and now!”

ANGRY ONES ARE NOT ALONE

 “A stubborn, angry, vicious person hurts; he hurts himself as well as others too. The evil acts, the hateful words he blurts, they’re cries for help, sonme love, some peace, some clue. With love the rocks will open, I believe; the Christ within them Shall one day be known. That grace is what the sufferer Must receive, if he’s ta realize he’s not alone….”

LET'S WOO THE WORLD TO CHRIST!

Now, why do something cruel, anyway? I guess some get a kick from being mean. The consequences rarely do they weigh, the karma often goes quite unforeseen. To love your foes works wonders, oftentimes, and folks discover love within their hearts. Be very kind to those who do the crimes, and you may find a revolution starts! If love’s ta overcome, we gotta love; let’s love ourselves and all our neighbors, too. That’s how we’ll See the world we’re Dreaming of. We’ve got a world of humans here, ta woo! So, Let’s Do it!”

 “When ‘news’ is like an intravenous drip, and all the lies are drugs which kill the mind, ya wonder when will people get more hip, and rediscover truth, and be more kind. But truth and kindness I must practice first, just like the old “let peace begin with me”. And though the corporations do their worst, let’s you and I keep Saying what we see!”

SOCK IT TO US, LORD!

When corporate extremists take control (and that’s what’s gonna come in 18 days) now, that’s a government without a soul! Bet not a one o’ them officials prays.

A spark of Heaven dwells in every heart, and it’s our job ta fan those sparks ta flame – yes, friends, we all have got ta do our part, and we’d be smart ta call on Jesus’ name! Now, Lord, we know you’ll help us overcome, but still we’re gonna need your help a Lot! We’re up against some foes who’re mean and dumb, so, Sock it To Us Now, with all Ya Got! Please and Thank You! Amen!"
