When He Talks

I have lived past my alotted 9 Lives,
or maybe I havn’t lived at all.
When peace falls, I wonder where I belong,
and if its possible for man to fail God.

It is not the action that you will be held to
but rather the heart of the matter, they say.
Yet the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
So which saying gets ‘right’ of way?

For every idea, a counter claim.
For every wise sage, another opposed
both living their wisdom out, victorious, old.
If we know by their fruits,
Which seed did they sow?

I am clear that I’m muddy.
I am sure that I’m not.
I am right in my wrongs.
I care less than I thought.
They know less than I…

I stand still as they walk.

I am still

still

still lost.

Listening to the clamor of man,

bellowing…
bickering…

blocking out God when He talks.

“If language is the chief visible sign of human beings’ pre-eminence over beasts, then poetry is the purest expression of man’s spiritual quest.” —

Agree or disagree, I simply think this is a beautifully, eloquently expressed statement.

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,… it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way….” —

“There is a basin in the mind where words float around on thought and thought on sound and light. Then there is a depth of thought untouched by words, and deeper still a gulf of formless feelings untouched by thought.” —Zora Neale Hurston

“She was a rut in the road. Plenty of life beneath the surface but it was kept beaten down down by the wheels.” —“Their Eyes Were Watching God” - Zora Neale Hurston

“

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Range da Messenga & Hezekiah unveil first video single, directed by BGNB, from duo’s exclusive 3 track digital-maxi single.

PHILADELPHIA, PA. August 8, 2012 – Southwest Virginia’s own “singer, emcee and dreadlocked philosopher” (The Roanoke Times) RANGE DA MESSENGA, teams up with “Philly’s premier underground beat-maker” (URB Magazine) HEZEKIAH under the creative vision of video director Rebekah “BGNB” Frimpong to release “GONE”, the first video single from the duo’s 3 track digital-maxi single on 3Crates Productions.

“Gone” is Range’s appeal to value the love you share with another while it is still present; the quintessential ‘you don’t know what you got ‘til it’s gone’… with a twist.

“Take one day at a time and you’ll get there,
keep on living for love and you’ll find your way home.
‘Cause heaven knows if you take too long…
it might be gone”
- GONE

Loftiness is based on lowliness.” —“The Essential Tao”

“

What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you?

Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you?

You desire and do not have, so you murder.

You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel.

You do not have, because you do not ask.
You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

” —James 4 speaking to me…

“Loneliness and narcissism are intimately connected: a longitudinal study of Swedish women demonstrated a strong link between levels of narcissism in youth and levels of loneliness in old age. The connection is fundamental. Narcissism is the flip side of loneliness, and either condition is a fighting retreat from the messy reality of other people.” —
