Snake Juice
Great Confessors.
For Beatrice, and her son.
Trouble At The Mill:
Shammy cleaning all the windows
Singing songs about Edith Piaf's soul
And I hear blue strains of no regredior
Across the street from Cathedral Notre Dame
Meanwhile back in San Francisco
We're trying hard to make this whole thing blend
As we sit upon this jagged
Storey block, with you my friend
And it's a long way to Buffalo
It's a long way to Belfast city too
And I'm hoping the choice won't blow the hoist
'Cause this town, they bit off more than they can chew.
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

All the orange boxes are scattered
Against the Safeways supermarket in the rain
And everybody feels so determined
Not to feel anyone else's pain
No one's making no commitments
To anybody but themselves
Talkin' behind closed doorways
Tryin' to get outside, get outside of empty shells
And for every cross cuttin' country corner, country corner
For every Hank Williams railroad train that cried
And all the chains, badges, flags and emblems
And every strain on brain and every eye
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

And the restaurant tables are completely covered
The record company has paid out for the wine
You got everything in the world you ever wanted
Right about now your face should wear a smile
That's the way it all should happen
When you're in, when you're in the state you're in
You've got your pen and notebook ready
I think it's about time, time for us to begin
And meanwhile we're over in a 52nd Street apartment
Socializing with the wino few
Just to be hip and get wet with the jet set
But they're flying too high to see my point of view
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

See them freedom marching
Out on the street, freedom marching

Out in the street
Look at the man
Turn around
Come back, come back
Turn around
Look at the man
Says hold on

[Don't like text-less posts. 'Snake Juice' is in reference to fasting. To this end, early-rising is in order. Tomorrow, I'll jump on this,,, and take '27' on... next.]
Vlad TV offers an insight into crime that pulverizes the stereotypes. A big upshot is the individual integrity on display. The contrast between drug-dealing, violence and the battles with competition and the authorities, -and- being a Man.
Confession, and instructions, for all.
Wise men, and women, would do well to pay attention. The people I meet in low-level, drug-based crime, have never heard of these great confessors. Young people I engage, warning of the traps.
"You must see...", I cry out.

Education and wisdom of the highest caliber. Nothing close, as powerful and effective in demonstrating, truth and error. Not, close. Not, in evangelical, or liberal Church. Not in Hollywood, or art house movies. Not on the BBC, or Vice.
What the devil wants? We flick on to the next thrill. Press the remote, hit a new tab or window, anything... but stick on, and, PAY ATTENTION.
The five I'm noting here, are enough. Get the sections of their interviews that speak and repeat, meditate, be inspired and change, aka., repent.
A Woman or Man, is someone who takes, responsibility. Nothing to hide, except the confidential, relating to other people. Doesn't lie or cheat. No need, called being a... grown-up.
Willing to accept, and put up with, deceptions and lies? You're a child.
In a Playground. Not a man, or a woman, and the ancient or older definitions of maturity. The retort back from the better off, could be; "I do that...".
Little or no temptation? Living in a bubble.
How about the Gangsters behind TV news media?

To watch and claim, and being a man, is impossible. Men... don't voluntarily listen to liars. Worse still, follow them. Porn is worse than the News. A foolish waste of time. A substitute for a life-long best friend, and lover. The news is a hypnotic spell. A trance for children. Mummy and Daddy Govt., our source of information. Slave masters giving us sweets and trickery.
Sunday School this week is on 'Man and Woman' -vs.-, Big-looking, boys and girls.
Van Morrison. Eric Clapton. Ian Brown, Noel Gallagher... managing to, be men.
Across the pond?
Bob:
The thousands at Trafalgar Sq., on Saturdays, over the past month, or so.
Of the same stuff.
Men and woman, who won't stand for the destruction. Not on, no, not, havin' it.
Piers:
How, not to be a hypocrite, follows.
Bringing God, into the mix, we're told, 'we judge ourselves.'
...by what we... say.
The measure, we'll be, judged, ...by.
Don't want to increase the crap and evil we all at times, fall for?
ONE: Don't raise standards, to talk them to nothing, through hypocrisy.
Confession and repentance, can sort it.
TWO: Goes with hypocrisy, being a judge about others, without exercising grace. Not talking a softening of line. The grace required, should be our revelation about our... self. With a love that God has for individuals.
THREE: Beyond our immediate circle, men and women, get involved in the community. Can look across a region or the world.
Sum up: Walk the talk, and talk truth. Kindness might proceed and influence, but the vulnerability of another, aside:
Capital M... men, and Women, lack fear, while exhibiting capacities to engage with others.
To this end? If we're concerned about any moves made out of sight? One's that challenge our stand, the bells and whistles on our internal 'Hypocrite Meter'. And, pause, when judging others. With compassion and anger about the world, and its governance?
A manifestation, evidence and signs we're an adult. A big person.
A theological position I uphold: Leadership, isn't male.
The upsurge of 'new conservatives' likes the Bible, backing them. Gender and sexuality is the focus. Trouble with the Male/Leadership theory?
Who is on the front-line, the emerging leaders with hands-dirty, feisty and on the warrior stylee?
Again, and again, it's the sisters fighting the war. For the boys, and girls, snuggled up in silence.

The bottle or smoking is supposed to be the big addiction/compulsion. Crack, and the like.
No, top two and, grip-you-tight?
Caffeine and/or, fizzy drinks, and the Top 2020 Idol: TV/Internet.
Need to kick-off and stay on, 'intermittent.' On to a 48 (hr), then on to a 72?
Food, and media, need taming and serve..., not are, served.
Break the fear it's some, mountainous, achievement.
On to Lord Jamal and Godfrey?
With them..., but critical. Supporters of their cause.
'Hard work, good manners and, honesty.'
Taken from a person's profile, looking, for a man.
Like Van. Yet, to hear his Protest Song.
Put it up here and refrain from playing until later.
