the end is near

yes... the end of this semester!

Hello poetry lovers. I just wanted to check up and say hello. I don't have anything new to share as of yet because school as become brutal beyond all belief. Hopefully when exams are done, and I'm sitting on a beach in Cuba, I will be able to relax and make something good enough to share with you all!

stay blessed!

cheers.

shit like this has GOT to stop.

So someone on Facebook decided to post such an IDIOTIC status update. As I do when most things upset me... I decided to rant on Tumblr. lol here's what I posted. I want to share this because MERCY. Things like this upset me so much.

here's my rant:

Okay. SO in Toronto a war memorial was vandalized. Someone wrote “Canada will Burn, Praise Allah”

Of course people are upset. I’m upset. BUT THIS COMMENT RIGHT HERE pissed me the HELL OFF.

How can one person be so dismissive and inconsiderate towards Muslims because of the act of ONE individual who most likely doesn’t share the same views of many islamic people? That’s as ignorant as saying all Muslim people are terrorists because of Osama…
NO. Osama is a terrorist.

Muslim people are just Muslim.

To sit there and ever so confidently type out that Allah is the devil, you must honestly have an issue with yourself. ONLY IGNORANT PEOPLE CRITICIZE ISLAM BECAUSE THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT. The beauty of that religion is unfathomable in many ways, how DARE you look down on it thinking that your Christian perspectives are better just because they are the north american norm? 

Listen. I’m a Christian. I love jesus, but who the fuck am I to say to someone that their God  is the equivalent to the entity I despise and blame for all the issues in the world? Who am I to tell them that their God is less than mine? i am NOBODY. And therefore I will not express those views. Simply for the reason that they are insane and so hurtful.

 UGH I AM JUST SO UPSET.

One God. Many ways to get to Him. Don’t be upset and a different person’s path when our destination is the same. Even God said that he has “sheep in different pastures” Not every one who isn’t Christian will go to hell and trust me, not everyone who calls themselves a Christian will go to heaven. So those Muslims you look down on, believe me, they’ll probably reach heaven before you do. They are probably doing more to serve God than you are. 

Your hate is JUST as bad as that one idiot’s vandalism. 

okay… I can breathe now.

Nas & Damian Marley - Patience

HELLO folks. Okay, so i actually just want to share with you guys my favourite song of all time. This right here, is honestly the greatest thing I've ever stumbled upon. The lyrics are ingenious. It's from the album Distant Relatives which is all together a masterpiece. It came out a couple of years ago and not too many people know of it, but I encourage everyone to listen to it, download it, BUY it cause it's honestly just that awesome.

This song in particular, I want everyone to pay special attention to the words. It's the message that really gets me.

words of wisdom

So i fell across this poem while doing one of my daily devotions and i felt like i should share it. it had me thinking.

IF...

If locked in my chamber of unchallenged fears
I wait for the dawn, with curtains drawn
If alone in that darkness I cry to be free
Yet claim that my captor has swallowed the key
If i cling to my memories of living only the past
And doubting my future, I give up at last
If in the midst of this battle I turn and retreat
blind to my victory and accepting defeat
Then Christ has died needlessly
And peace is a fantasy
Then hope is a wounded word
"The coming King" is put a phrase I've heard....
And all the world is lost
