27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ 29 “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’ 30 “‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’ 31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’” –Jesus in Luke 16:27-31 (NIV)–
Let’s knock out the psychobabble. He was a pervert, a child molester, he was a pedophile. And to be giving this much coverage to him, day in and day out, what does it say about us as a country? I just think we’re too politically correct. No one wants to stand up and say we don’t need Michael Jackson. He died, he had some talent, fine. There’s men and women dying every day in Afghanistan. Let’s give them the credit they deserve. –Representative Peter King (R)–
Assembly line humans Pumped with lies Line them up, load them tight Packed like cigarettes A new committee To breed lukewarm souls
Get off my back (please)
Swallow your pride And gag
Harriet Tubman Will you set the captives free To the underground?
Take long drags on yourself With Cracker Jack poses and smiles Another snubbed beneath your toe

All mankind will come and bow down before me. And they will go out and look on the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; the worms that eat them will not die, the fire that burns them will not be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind. –Isaiah 66:23-24 (NIV)–

The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. –Psalm 14:1 (NIV)–

Indifference surrounds me Yet my heart is secure The shadows grow stronger Yet my spirit is protected Observing the extreme absurdities Still my heart can’t be moved
I can rest in the loser’s haunt For the Victorious has filled the void inside I can wander by the source of Hell For the Lord of all lives in me In these circumstances I dwell
Thank God, in Him I am not a part of this My inspiration, Giver of Life
I want to shine, radiate Your presence I want to show them the warmth of truth That You showed me So they can understand Who You are and why I worship You
Even if my life should end In the valley of the shadows My spirit will exist in a new dimension Forever with Him, my Father

I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. –Jesus Christ in John 14:6 (KJV)–
Whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. –Jesus Christ in Matthew 18:6 (KJV)–
