LITTLE DID YOU KNOW IT WAS HELL YOU WERE LIVING FOR,
AND YOU DIDN’T UNDERSTAND UNTIL YOU SAW THE OTHERS
PULLING YOU THERE, SAYING NO OTHER WAY TO GO,
YOU DIDN’T WANT TO GO WHERE YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD TO,
SO INSTEAD YOU TURN AROUND, STILL DARKNESS ABOUND,
FULL AROUND, NEVER GOING BACKWARDS, YOU WILL ONE DAY STAND
THERE HAS GOT TO BE THAT LIFE, THAT TRUTH, BUT NOT IN THIS LAND
IF YOU KEEP ON CRAWLING, YOU MIGHT ONE DAY SEE THE LIGHT
FOR IF ONLY YOU JUST UTTER, HELP ME, GOD, WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT,
THE ONE MAN WHO IS HOLINESS, WHO MADE YOU WITH FREE WILL
STILL YOU DON’T BELIEVE, BUT IF YOU HAVE FAITH, YOU CAN STILL
WALK ON OUT OF THAT DARKNESS THAT THOSE PEOPLE BELIEVE IS REAL
LITTLE DID YOU KNOW IT WAS HELL YOU WERE LIVING TO
AS DEATH PULLED YOU DOWN, YOU WERE CONVINCED BY YOUR ‘CREW’
YOU DIDN’T UNDERSTAND TO GO A STEP FURTHER WHEN YOU SAW
THAT TO DEATH THE LINE WAS GOING AND THE LIE CAME FROM HELL
THERE’S NO OTHER WAY TO GO, WAS THE LIE DRONED, AND YOU JUST DO THIS TOO,
AND AS THEY STOOD THERE IN TORMENT, YOUR KNOTTED STOMACH WAS BLUE,
NO, THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY, THERE HAS TO BE REAL LIGHT,
I DON’T WANT TO BE IN THIS DARKNESS, WHERE IS THE HELP, WHERE IS THE LIFE?
AND WITH ONE SWALLOW YOU SWOOP AWAY FROM ALL THE OTHERS CLOUDY NIGHT
INTO PURE DARKNESS, NOTHINGNESS IN THE BUSHES, SOMETHING AWAY FROM
THAT LINE. SOMETHING AWAY FROM THAT DIRECTION, THAT JOURNEY INTO HELL.
AMEN. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANTE!!
CAN I GET AN EDIT??

Why?
DEAR DAD & MOM,
THIS IS HOW MUCH YOUR BABY LOVES YOU. A VOW OF POVERTY IS ALREADY IN PLACE. WHAT WILL YOUR BABY COST SINCE IT’S A TOUGH SUBJECT LATELY? YOU WILL EAT WHAT KEEPS YOU HAPPY & HEALTHY TODAY, SO YOUR MILK AND ATTITUDE ARE SUCCULENT AND PROPER FOR YOUR BABY. THE MOST IMPORTANT INGREDIENT IS LOVE; PAPA, MAMA, WHAT IS LOVE? JESUS MADE ME KIND OF FULL OF IT AND SAID YOU WILL HELP ME BE A PROMPT AND CASUAL PERSON, BUT LIFE, HE SAID, WON’T COME WITHOUT TRIALS. STAYING WITH THE FINANCY, IF YOU WILL, YOU CAN BUY YOUR BABY A FEW CLOTH DIAPERS OR JUST SEW ONE; WHEN YOU NEED A NEW ONE YOU CAN GRAB A SECOND FROM THE DRAWER AND WASH THE DIRTY ONE WITH THE HOSE AND PLAIN CLEANER OUTSIDE. PLUS, IT’S GOOD FOR THE PLANTS!! USE A BUCKET WITH SOME UNSCENTED DISTILLE PURE SOAP TO FINISH CLEANING, THEN LET IT DRY IN THE SUN TO KILL ANY BAD BACTERIA, ONLY FIVE MINUTES OF HAVOC AND SOME TIME OF DRYING FOR NEXT TIME YOU NEED ONE. SEE, SO FAR YOU ONLY HAVE TO PAY FOR MATERIAL (OR JUST USE LAYERS OF AN OLD SHIRT), PURE SOAP, AND A BUCKET OF WATER; DAD & MOM, YOU CAN ALREADY TAKE ME HOME!! STILL LIVE SIMPLE. FOR THE FIRST AND BEST TWO YEARS.. YOU WILL SEE THE HAPPIEST BABY IF YOU JUST ALLOW MOM TO BREAST FEED. IF YOU CANNOT DUE TO LACK OF NUTRITION YOURSELF, YOU CAN FIND ANOTHER WILLING MOTHER OR A LOCAL ORGANIC RAISING COW OR GOAT FARMER AND FEED YOUR BABY THEIR MILK. OTHERWISE, MAYBE YOU CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THE MILK MAKING WITH SOME FOOD. ANYWAY, LOVE THE RAW DAIRY, SO LONG AS THE ANIMAL EATS THE GRASS AND LIVES IN A CLEAN AND SIMPLE AREA. NEXT, GIVE YOUR FATHER THE BABY FOR A NIGHT AROUND TOWN, DATE NIGHT AS THEY CALL IT. YOU WONDER WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN HALF A YEAR? BABY ORGANIC BROWN RICE, BUT IF YOU WILL YOU CAN STILL FEED THE WOMB LOVING BABY MAMA’S MILK FOR AROUND TWO YEARS!! YOUR WALLET IS STILL IN TACT!! YOU CAN BUY BROWN RICE IN BULK AT A GOOD GROCERY STORE, AND YOU CAN EAT WITH YOUR SPOUSE AND WITH YOUR BABY; HOPEFULLY YOU TEACH YOUR CHILD HOW TO PREPARE FOOD AND HELP YOU COOK. THEN ONE DAY YOU WON’T HAVE TO COOK, YOU WILL BE SERVED! ALREADY LOVE YOU!! WHEN YOU DO RUN OUT OF MILK, MOM, DAD CAN HELP YOU MORE BY FEEDING ME THE GOOD & SIMPLE FOODS YOU’VE BEEN EATING, THAT EXTRA YOU DIDN’T NEED ANYWAY, SINCE TODAY I’M STILL YOUR BABY. ORGANIC BANANAS ARE THE BEST EACH DAY & IF YOU DELIVER I’LL PAY YOU IN CHORES LATER!! IF YOU FIND THE BEST ORGANIC STORE IN TOWN, YOU CAN FEED ME, YOUR BABY, THE INEXPENSIVE IN-SEASON PRODUCE MASHED UP IN THE BLENDER OR WITH A SPOON. YOU WILL GET MORE LOVE THAN YOU CAN EVER IMAGINE GETTING FROM A PET, AND YOU MIGHT EVEN WANT TO ADOPT ME A SISTER!! HEY, MAYBE ONE DAY I WILL CHANGE YOUR DIAPERS!! OKAY, GETTING A LITTLE AHEAD OF MYSELF, PERHAPS JUST WORK A JOB TO HELP YOU PAY FOR FOOD AND RENT. JESUS MADE ME YOUR BABY SO THAT YOU WILL LEARN WHAT YOU HAVE LONGED TO IN LOVE LESSONS. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR BEING YOU, BECAUSE THAT IS ALL YOU NEED TO DO. YOU’RE DOING A GOOD JOB SO FAR… BUT YOU CAN DO BETTER. EACH OF YOU IS SWEETER THAN A HOMEMADE APPLE PIE. GOD BLESS YOU AND GOOD HEART.
IN LOVING GRATITUDE,
YOUR LITTLE BABY
Say no to following the crowd into the dark and be MODEST! ;)
