Ode to my Past

"Ode To My Past"

Try to understand the things I say, try to understand the things I do

Don’t turn away from me when I am trying to explain, as I have spent half my life

Thinking about what went wrong and how it went so bad as I know you wouldn’t disagree

That time has not been kind to you and me

You never saw me standing there, in the rain, in the dark and in the clouds

You never heard me talking to you, even my whispers were said out loud

Maybe it was the way I acted, maybe it was the way I felt but never did I stop loving you

Never did I stop notice that I was truly missing you

It feels like nobody cares, the loneliness has brought nothing but sorrow

Unhappiness when I was young, unhappiness today and expecting the same tomorrow

Because the way we were raised, the discipline, the harsh and tough love allowed us to survive

But the life I made was not filled with smiles and happy times, it was a boring kind of life

Like my mother, like my father, I felt that I was out there all alone

Nobody cared, nobody asked how are you and nobody held my hand as if they were scared

So people everywhere think they are better than I, they think they have it all together

When in fact, they haven’t spent the same amount of time, outside in the stormy weather

I thought you like the way we were, but you were better than me as you could see

You thought I didn’t give a damn, you thought it was all fun and glee

Try to understand what I was, where I have been and what I have become

Caused that was the way we were raised, and I can’t go back

I miss the laughter, I don’t miss the pain and as I stand here in the rain

I know you don’t know me well enough to judge me, I know that we are not the same

Perhaps you are something better than I am, perhaps you found your way to see the light

Because the sun has never found me, it did not shine on me and give me light

Last but not least, I see life as it is, even when young, I saw the darkness falling slowly

It’s not because I didn’t give a damn, its not because I didn’t care

But we were raised that way, we had no fun in life and we took it on the run

Cause we were raised and nobody cared, and never got to see the sun

Now I am the Radical - Equality and Justice

NOW I AM BEING RADICAL - Here is my controversial post of the day -

I will never suggest that we need to start discriminating against people whose faith is different from ours. That is, as long as their faith does not require or suggest violence towards me or others. In such a case, I simply stand for the right to defend myself from any or all religion in questions. No religion should preach or advocate violence.

Today, under the current social and political climate of our country, in the name of justice and equality, many in our general public, our current government officials and the media, allow a distinct religious group to discriminate against the faith of Christians and other Non-Muslims without consequences, outcries or retribution. This is justified by their silence on the matter and their refusal to acknowledge their terrorist acts and voracity or appetite for death either through mass shootings, decapitations, fire, acid, etc.

Their religious views or theological / ideologies are much more extreme than those we practice as Christians and I will be the first to admit that there are so-called Christians committing crimes that are contrary to our words in the Bible. Examples are the human rights, sins that cover a continuum of human misbehaviors including rape, incest etc. and the sanctity of marriage.

However, many have tolerated these deviances without committing acts of violence. But, we are condemned for wanting to protect ourselves from the increasing potential of future terror attacks by those who have taken their own religion to extremes and radicalized punishment of the principles of faith with death.

As the Muslim population increases in the United States, so too will the number of radical, Islamic terror attacks. This is only common sense, as the number of potential terrorists grows proportionately with the overall number of Muslims being admitted into the United States.

While Donald Trump may not be politically correct or entirely realistic in his approach [in fact, I wish he would get his information straight] – but he’s willing to acknowledge that our country needs to protect itself from the potential harm that comes from radical Islam.

That is something our government today has proven unwilling to do leaving up to the populace to defend themselves against terror attacks, based on a conflict of religious beliefs and principles.
