Christmas Time Is Here Again

He sent them to Bethlehem and said, 

“Go and search carefully for the child. 

As soon as you find him, report to me, 

so that I too may go and worship him.”

~ Matthew 2:8

Astral Weeks

Van Morrison ‘Astral Weeks’ is 50

 “Who are these that fly along like clouds, 
like doves to their nests?
~ Isaiah 60:8

Idiot Wind

And when you pray, 

do not keep babbling on like pagans, 

for they think they will be heard because of their many words.

~Matthew 6:7

Kanye West Is Not Picasso

 Fools are put in many high positions.

 ~Ecclesiastes 10:6

This poem appears in Leonard Cohen's posthumous collection, The Flame.

Kanye West is not Picasso
I am Picasso
Kanye West is not Edison
I am Edison
I am Tesla
Jay-Z is not the Dylan of Anything
I am the Dylan of anything
I am the Kanye West of Kanye West
The Kanye West
Of the great bogus shift of bullshit culture
From one boutique to another
I am Tesla
I am his coil
The coil that made electricity soft as a bed
I am the Kanye West Kanye West thinks he is
When he shoves your ass off the stage
I am the real Kanye West
I don’t get around much anymore
I never have
I only come alive after a war
And we have not had it yet

Leonard Cohen March 15, 2015

President Trump praises Kanye West’s words at White House: 

‘That was quite something’

That's How Every Empire Falls

 Nations are in uproar,  

kingdoms fall; 

he lifts his voice, 

the earth melts.

~ Psalm 46:6

Don't Try Suicide

Oksana Shachko (Ukrainian: Оксана Шачко; 31 January 1987 – 23 July 2018)

Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines!”

 Then he pushed with all his might, 

and down came the temple on the rulers 

and all the people in it. 

Thus, he killed many more 

when he died

 than while he lived.

~Judges 16:30

Cutt Off

 Even that it would please God to destroy me; 

that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!

~ Job 6:9
