The Edmond Express

Sometimes I wonder what love gained really is. I wonder what love sustained really means. I wonder if the act of loving really makes sense. I wonder why the need for love. Why do I question this, one may ask? All I can remember is love lost, love gone away, love that's passed, love that was used up. I thirst for what was before today. I yearn for that love which was misunderstood. I hunger for that love that was too soon, not the right time, not the right place, not the right amount, not the right..... Is love what was or what is? Damn, why is it always past tense?

Sometimes life is rough and death shows its face, but we are built to last so that's not going to be the play. We walk tall and talk tall and we fake our face, and only you know what pill you had to swallow and what bed you made. So when life looks dim and you feel like damn it all I'm done today, get on your knees and to your creator you give it all away. The battle is not yours, nor is it yours to take, so grab a helping hand and close your eyes and pray...

SOME OF YOU NEED TO QUIT GETTING MAD AND GET ACTIVE....DAMN IT WITH ALL OF THIS TALKING. YOU'RE MAD...OKAY, WHO GIVES A DAMN? DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. IF YOU WANT TO MARCH, WHAT ARE YOU MARCHING ABOUT AND WHERE ARE YOU MARCHING TO? IF YOU WANT TO PROTEST, WHERE ARE YOU PROTESTING, AND WHAT ARE YOU PROTESTING ABOUT? WHATEVER OUTCOME YOU ARE EXPECTING, YOU NEED TO PERFORM ACTIONS THAT WILL GET YOU THERE, OR ELSE, YOU'RE JUST MAKING A BUNCH OF DAMN NOISE......

Where are the extensive police investigations in Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, etc? This shit is getting outta hand. Every single wrongful death deserves this much concern. It seems that since these major cities and others are susceptible to crime and a free flowing way of life, we should just charge it to city life and keep it moving. What happens in these large metropolitan areas is mirrored in the surrounding areas which creates the problems we have today. When did we stop caring enough to allow for thousands of murders? When did we begin to devalue life? When did we begin to welcome the lack of civility? What can we do about it?

I know some of you are angry, but understand that we serve a higher power. A jury of 6 in a man-made court system holds no power to your creator's ultimate decision. Let us not fill our hearts and minds with devilish desires, but rather seek a higher level of acceptance for what was allowed to happen. Be Job right now. Trust that regardless of what man says, your creator will have the final say. For it is not our will, but your creator's will that will be done.
