I Fought to Say No

Hardest line to cross
To refuse to answer you
Even in a dream

I have conspired
With men who have passed before
So I might say no

Midnight firefights
Still led me to your doorway
Without conscious thought

But they held not you
Instead you sent your finest
Challenging me just

I wept tears of truth
Then spoke calculated words
Strictly from my heart

I glimpsed you spying
Two hearts cleaved, but still same same
I could never blame

We played it again
To reshape love's labors won
To play together

Must it always be
I approach you or you me?
In my mind, we rest

Step by Step On The Open Ocean

"Gentlemen, prepare Yes, there is danger ahead But we are heroes. Written in our code It is in our DNA We've earned skin and scars These seas of logic Are full of 'paradoxes' We have dynamite.

Verdict

I have held this back for long enough. This wicked generation sickens me. This distasteful generation disgusts me. 1,000 generations promised, nonetheless, and so it will be. Did you know that one can build an image of Jesus so clearly in their mind that they will see an idol in his place and feel certain of their eternal fate? A cloned image, without the power of God. Perhaps considered fine, here on Earth, but what of on Judgement Day? How horrific would it be to find out that you have been lied to? How terrifying will it be to hear "I never knew you" in the silence, while you ask the lawyer by your side to proceed? Jesus is not coming for you. You hung him on the cross, you pierced him and left him there in your heart, never even thinking to repay the forgiveness he would ultimately offer. You blasphemed his name and the Holy Spirit with your contempt, and lied about it, every day, even to yourself. So, intentional contempt is summed, your will removed from the verdict, th...
