SPILL

Yesterday, is gone. Today is right now. And tomorrow the sun will rise & set. And all that will matter. Is how we utilize our Time. And embrace one another; here on Earth.

All humans throughout human history. Has argued over; Religion, Equality & Politics. Every other material objectives & legality for humanity. Has ridden the backs of two colors. Red & Blue attached to ever state. Is of two elected parties. As other Countries note. Every behavior: according to how these two titles respond, in their elected roles. 

This system; is manmade. Broken down into branches. And what is driving the vehicles if human circumstances. It Reaches beyond culture. It's human natures. It's Biblical; for mankind.

So, work on stop worrying. How? Accept the things that are seen. Process what has been proven. pray for Wisdom. To acknowledge. When you've done your best. To be good to the world. Is not as rewarding; in being a better person to yourself.

To be honest with ourselves. As Humans there is the same history. Of repeated history. We could speak. To why life history will never change; each other. According to the by-laws. Why, humans sustain in what's debated. Regarding human; justices. Needed of appointed powers. In Unionized assembly. Over civilization is of All humans' races. To co-exist. 

So, we filter through the entirety of human history. That never resolves; anything between Peace Treaty. And how the world is to be preserved. And humans are protected. From each other. And in its handmade systems.

If not, how can peace last; amongst time & terms. As the laws of checks & balances nis never resolved. For the human history. Repeats itself. 

So now we are here with God - Man. As God is the creator challenged by God's own human creation.

Mankind. The Creation of humanity; internally in our wiring. Humans struggle with emotions. That's the roots of human division. Thinking; the secrets, lies & truth.  Are withheld. For control in n civilization. Is the Power we have Authority to Control; each other. 

So, what's happening in life. We have just grown weary, anxious & angered. Just for assuming we as humans' beings not all. But many is above GOD. To judge of life & death. In our human flesh.

The Bible reads; the poor in spirit shall always be amongst US. That's Biblical not made up.

Money can't change God's word. it's still Biblical. Throughout Heaven & Earth.

As these Captions, & Creators of All types of; Content. Is the breath. In life. Into what we as humanity verbalize & demonstrate. In the physical form of; US. In human beings. Were fueled with emotions. Spilling over into physical actions. Into the world.

Where We fear; each other. We fear of; what we've done.

Leading up to the actual Time & Date. We only choose prayer, are deny Faith.

Why, in this life anything is destined to happen. 

In civilization we can choose to; Be overprotective. Conscious. And it's ok to feel confident as a protector; over the innocence in this world. 

As we with eyes are watching; hell & chaos exist.  So how can peace be bartered? And with what. More Threats. 

Understand human trust has its threshold. And to many souls have been broken. Throughout the world.

And above all things; with all the grey areas. Occurring on Earth.

Do not be dismantled, unhinged are overwhelmed. Why, what was unbelievable. Is believable. Over generations it's happened to; someone else. Of this same human history. That has Caught up in this generation. Is of every human on Earth. We stand divided. Are of a human freewill to choose; united. 

Good news is, when GOD created the Heaven & Earth. God gave a gift to All in mankind. Of Freewill; to live. 

In of our human spirits. God knew who would sustain of good & evil in our human natures. 

So, that we're held accountable. For our human choices. Made in the spirit. And to be of Sound mind & body. In the physical. Is of the flesh.

We're just humans in one existence. Of transitioning in calming are a state of frustration. Trying to remain civil. Under afflicted distress & pressure.

Remember Our affirmations. We're not all spiritual believers in GOD. Are anything. In this world. We must Accept our truths. Are accept denials. At the end of the day. Every human is built; differently. Why, DNA

We're just humans feeling guarded in a world; we feel no longer protected.

Who's to blame? Amongst every authority. Is the Power of the Tongue. Is every Author. That lives life in or out of a chosen Peace of Mind. If not, Payback is mental confusion.

So, the cycles of life. In humanity repeat. Father Times; remains on schedule. Mother Nature continues to swirl in & out. During humans arguing over; right or wrong. Truth are Dare. The trauma in this generation; is judging of what must exist of the drama. Just For people; human to live.

Therefore, Be of confidence. Knowing; life changes. Without permission. And so does our human; appearances. 

Why, humans. Are All round. Just be careful & wise. Our entire is what we are wear. On the outside. But what matters is what is in our hearts. Of HUMANS that was given; one air of breath. To exist in amongst All. Is in The Living.

Again, back to the light. From the Darkness. 

There are speed traps; ahead. In every corner & direction. Where humans sat & stand. Watch, point fingers & mock. Just plan accordingly. Travel safely.

Our Human Patience; did not come with manuals. Patience comes with, internal change time & maturity. Just slow down it may save a second of life's time. If not a life sentence; of judgement by each other.

For the next, moving vehicles are persons. May or not miss the next opportunity, to rush in behind. The next; narrative, argument, accident, red light, traffic jam, are whatever evil are good. Planned out intentions; are listening & watching.

Whatever is moving. In its orchestration; for distraction. Are safe direction. Just be wise of your individual intentions. Make it home to your own families. 

And if we're not so far apart. Of being more than humans. Instead of a movie night. Club affairs. Street walking. Are jive talking.

Take a break, and round the family up. To sit & listen; in peace with one another.

Why, time is moving forward. And humans have figured it All out. 

What, each other. In this space call life. Has taken for granted of Time. Not money. Not our light switch relationships.

Humans struggle with; what

We know is. That happiness starts; internally. But externally the emotions of unhappiness; also exist.

So, we all suffer, in one world. Of many nations. Over what the next vehicle, obsessed over. And rapidly coming.

Mystic

There has been a shift; in the balance on earth.

How so, ask the souls of mankind. What is each other feeling. In this moment.

Some will say, nothing.

Which is impossible. Why, A part of our human nature is the root of our internal wiring. Of our souls.

Ever notice in a Black out. Either it's silence are ruckus.

Ever notice in wars. Fear is this shadow over the World.

Every notice how stress affects the body.

Some will say, I'm All over the place. So, what does this mean?

Some will blame their adversity. On some one else. It does not mean, we're exempt from the examination needed in ourselves.

Some will shut down. In silence. Are anxiety. If not a state of paranoid.

Some will cause disturbance.

Some will watch. Are turn a blind eye. Until the storms of life; tap on their door by surprise.

Some will reference there is something in the atmosphere. That has changed. And it's spiritual warfare. Are what type of lifestyle were they living. But first let's dissect; who of a human. And is without Sin. In the world. 

Other's will admit; they are in total Fear.

The type of fear. No matter who we are. As human beings. We are destined to be faced; with this fear in ourselves.

Why, we're unpredictable of how we as humans will respond. To one another. Over these human emotions.

How is it possible. 

We fear what we don't see.

We hide behind fear of what we do see.

We gamble with fear; in knowing. What is done in the dark. Eventually comes to the light. And for every cause. There is the full affect. To fall in line.

We have lived over generations of life & death. In these human Cohabitations on earth. In between Denying ourselves; a truth. Around  encouraging; fear.

What is one threat. we as humans have managed over each other; secrets.

Now the question is. Knowing Fear is this deep emotion; that fuels on the not knowing.  What's the next element; of  surprise. In these peril times.

The story went like this.

God is real. But Humans thought time was on our side; for life.

As we possess a freewill. But when time gets tough. Humans shift in the spirits. Is of the souls. And the emotions of Fear creeps in. Then blame covers; the entire land.

Where not one breathe of life is; untouchable. On earth.

Do not be blindsided. Stay aware. Stay safe. And alway's listen to your; inner voice.

Why, We have touched each other on different levels. In this heart. Over  generations. And still we have not managed; to heal. Without the assistance of each other.

There is Not one place. In this world. That we're so secure to hide on earth. Until we are at  secure; around each other. But first at peace of mind. In ourselves.

So why, God now for some. Because it's's never to late. To ask for forgiveness. God has seen & heard; it All Over our human history. In Civilization. 

How do we know. Who created humanity. This heart in Mankind. Has yet to express; unto each other agape love.

As, we have proven. Protection is not our; Greatest strength. Are often a priority in our selves. 

Why, look at humanity. How did we get here? This present state of the world.

In Our hearts, and the two evils. We possess the freewill. To either love one. Are hate the other. To serve one. Are rebuke the other. 

Respect, is earned not bartered are by demand. Money will not purchase Salvation.

Why, we have proven Fear is our greatest weakness. In every breathe of life.

While Seeing the truth. Has been humans; greatest challenge on Earth. 

How so. Not one human. Wants to accept the truth. Without addressing a lie. Not one human is prepared; for eternal rest on earth. Until they have found; internal peace of mind.

How do we know. Prayer & Change. Leads us to Look deeper in our own souls.

If we took time to look deeper. at what we've done to each other; in this world.

Now let's look at the state of the world. And then look; at each other. As we look deeper within ourselves.

Desperate Situations

First step. Let's align in synch. We all got situations down here on earth. But let's not step over each other's feet. 

Why, it's all about to make sense. Regarding what caused. The root of the affected. And what were our; individual mindsets.

But first let's address this word LOVE. That requires an action.

And then there is vulnerability. Where guards are let down. For where love exist. Trust is bound to creep; around.

On to the the story line. 

If you ever hear; people disagree. Before responding with your input. Sit back. To detect their; feedback.

Why, desperate Times &  Desperate situations. The issue is there is nothing. Are not one human. That can dismiss the cause & effect. To turn the element of; time back. 

But we won't give not one clear hint. 

Why, 

We knew going into each other's lives. There was the probability. Of who was experienced, trained & educated People. Throughout the world. It's was our previous history. In our individual lives. That synched together other curiosity. And what was going on during time. Was that placeholder In our minds.  

Thinking every human. Has played on a poker Table. Chess or Checker's board. Knowing It took time for human development. In our mental & physical growth.

Remember for every table on earth. There is many. Of every form or object. That Occupies. That seat are flooring. In All shapes, colors, ages & genders;  in derrieres.

Now the trick question is, what not of whom. Means in All, of what physically moves in a  pair. And if you said feet. You just missed the one second. That could of been or is the set up. For the set back. For  yourself. Are some one else.

Why, 

We just assume; we got All the answers. Don't be selfish. Think broader. Beyond the books, streets & stories told; throughout mankind.  

Why, do you think. Religion & The Bible will never cease to exist. But always the reference for a human argument.

Then what is it that drives human beings; to unhinged. Are fuel with power. Are feistiness.

In these feelings of every title on earth. We thirst for the validation. In the presence of each other. 

Remember once you connect. In this flesh. It's the soul. That Feel every life experience. You can not only project what's going to occur next. Throughout the entire state. Is the forecast in Human Affairs. Of the Human History. That has to occur. 

Why, 

We all would like to think. We can disagree to agree in one state of mind. Is our individual thoughts.

With mature are disregarded understanding. Would mean respect each other's. Mental boundaries. 

Would hold every human. Accountable to identify with. What is; amicable trust, patience & forgiveness.

There is some good & bad things. That surface out of our human; affairs & relationships. Where our integrity is tested. Our peace is disrespected. And this  fearlessness is no longer to be bartered with. It's now resurected.

How so?

Once the human levies have completly; dismantle. In our human souls. 

The cycle of life. Will bring All the truth; out. Into the light. In the world.

PIE


On every table, cooked from an oven. Are wood burning stove. All types of Pies are being whipped up. Beaten & sold. To get eaten on all types of Tables. Throughout generations. Began all across the world.

Before we chat over the entire Pie. It may behoove you. To understand why. 

A few will decline; a piece of any pie.

Several may take only a nibble; out of curiosity.

Many will dive in behind the belly of Greed. For the setup that occured in seconds; was the offering. Depending on one's; own taste buds. Desiring those ingredients. We must read into; first.

Of what Other's will eat of crumbs. Depending on the urge; of their individual mindset & taste buds.

The point is this. Whatever room are location on a map. People find themselves laying down, standing are sitting around. Be extra mindful that it's all types of Pies; extended to All for a price. Hooked on a conversation. Just not All Pies are mixed with the same ingredients. 

That may or not meet the level of our human expectations.

Why,

Some folks wanna a piece of everything on every table. Some folks like to think; what other's need on their plates. At tables unseen. To ration. Are to be eaten.

But the reality is; there is of  many on earth. Of People accounted for. With a master minded thought. Of  silently watching.  Who is eating on what Piece of Pie.

To figure out; how to possess.  The Entirety of those; who thought. They had the only Ingredients; amongst Humanity. That Would or Not; thirst for an entire bite.

Good People

Good People, still exist. All around in the world today. 

Good People are often straight to the point. And genuine in their hearts.

Good People will pick up a call. Are drop by unannounced. And we All know some folks think it's rude. But when was the last time. People who has shown you their true face. Checked in on you are your family?

Good people will find a shirt. If not quick to give the shirt & shoes off their body. And will not make you feel;  any lesser than an entire person.

I recall the passage, I read. After my son's passing. It read when I was down on my luck. My friend told me. Don't worry about what people say. You keep your head up. And keep it moving. This young man found a good person. But both of these People; were also apart of God's plan on the journey.

I thank the people who showed up. Little did they know. Their work was assigned in the Book of Matthew:5. During my storm & test. Your words & courage. Gave me comfort. And I prayed on your behalf. With a declaration to God. To remember these souls. Who showed my child; pure in heart. Of genuine love.

Good People will invite you into their personal lives. Introduce you to their family. And set you at a table. Where they eat. You are now considered family.

So, why do good people suffer in life. Are get unalive. If not heart broken. Are even pass from a sickness. If not God even removes them; as children.

I did not say we as humans possess all the right are wrong answers. Our thoughts are not equal to God.

The Bible was written for a reason. Before the creation of mankind. And God is real in the spirit. As we are human in the flesh.

As why, People will let you know; who they are. And it's on you. To respect your thoughts, actions & decisions. God did not promise their would not be trials & adversity in this life. God requested of mankind. Obedience & Repentance.

But in mankind. You just can't make the life experiences up. Why, not. It's in every life situation People will demonstrate in their own human behaviors. To make you reconsider. If not think twice. But most of All. We possess the freewill & freedom to pray.

If it were not for good people. Of All in any races of People. Who would go beyond in work. Where other's profit, mock, manage, double minded, in planing. Are just appreciate. Those are that person are good People. To not be treated in any form of lesser. But being treated with respect. As  human beings.

Before we destroy ourselves in humanity. Burning the same bridges; our human feet. Needed of a particular type of people in this world. To cross with.

The good news is; Good people give out of the depths of their hearts. They openly are silently do forgive. 

Remember hurt is hurt. It's not negotiable.

And just incase People assume they are getting over on God. It was God that created all forms of life for earth. And what we as humans would and still need if not desire. Of each other. Forgiveness, Empathy, Love, Protection & Compassion.

The Holy Bible did not say  how this world will end for human life. But eventually the end of the Earth. Will occur in life. But on a different Day & unannounced time. 

Genesis 6:6

Revelation 11:18.

School

The establishment was by man's design for the future needs. From the setup in the past education system. That was no longer accommodating. The wealth in critical thinking; for the emancipated. Was the new Freedoms in furthering; human progression in education.

For All in this human race. Is the educators. That educate. Of the students of every race. That engage. With one another. Is this cycle of life.

That every human transitions from birth. Through the process called development.

It's the Cycles around learning, and engagement through socialization. Humans identify with each other's human differences.

But somewhere in this Infrastructure of God's world. Mankind took the lead roll. And placed demands. On each other; of being human subjects. Under the discretionary plan. Of what we know. Is what we will also be judged. In what we are to only understand.

The issue is; class did not limit our human experience are human rights. To a class room. Are boxed in thinking. No man could of ever created a master minded plan; so tight. To remove the human life experience.

There is not one lesson that has not been taught. In this life.

How so, invite every race of man & female. Including all the children in this room on earth. Call life.

To pay attention to how; from generation to generation. It's the Humans that struggle in themselves. 

Why, in every generation we have attempted to train each other. Of what is a lesson. 

In a framed  mindset. Of the  structure we assemble in learning. In being human.

Is how each human being  processes. Of what we individually; through growth. & development; sync together. In our mindsets. 

That over a course of  time. In this life. Is what Allows US. In All races of mankind. To digest and process. What is this emotional feeling. During the experience. 

Is of our expressions. That  reveal; human intelligence.

And What is are was learned; from each other. Is still the human direction. In which our own human history. Is written 

We either; follow each other. Are be lead; by one another. 

Anytype of emotions. Is a root of human emotions. 

So, what is right or wrong. In this life. Knowing Money is not human. So, how can humans not be accountable. For each other. To even not judge themselves; first.



Flesh

The Drama is World Wide. And once we figure out. What Pleasuring ourselves; was really about.

Was not this time of a Soap Opera. Down here on earth. This type of Drama is connected & linked up; every where. In this flesh 

Why, remember what is peace. Before the stage of the setup. And all of a sudden. 

Hell breaks loose.

Why, over all the exhausting secrets, cover ups, betrayals, jealousy, greed, plotting, scheming, hate & deceit. For the lies. 

And we thought Sleeping with the enemy. Was a great movie. According to the world of viewers; & critics.

In All the world to watch. But what happens in real life. People stand on business; watching people. Who are no longer entertained. 

During the element of Time. It took to foster the immature drama.

What's funny about Drama? Is  During the setup are sabotage for another person. It's the amount of dialogue spent in. On an investment of destroying, another human. 

In the world. That eventually the drama; backfires.

And it's everyday something containing drama. Is alway's bound to happen. 

Why, In a world of; boredom, busy bodies, lack of knowing self- purpose. And a state of  Idol minds. Is a path for Self destruction. That requires; mentally invited guest. For the collaboration; to form a coalition. Destined for a domino affect. Of Disaster's &  Devastation.

Our entire human lives. We would like to believe; it never happens. To us. But for them. Is the state of existence. We can All dissect. Together. Of what race is; a color in Confusion over who is in the state of; Denial.

However, the truth is. What is life without people. Not all of people. But the people that thrive in the depths of; management of the drama.

Because it takes one to initiate the; conversation. But where there is two are more in a gathering of a mindset. Never underestimate. The probability. Of who is involved. In orchestrating the drama. Rich or Poor. Is all levels of our human intelligence.

One day as humans; anyone of us. If not an organization in associations; feel ontop of the world. And in the next breathe; of life. Feel the emotions of struggling in it. Of the world.

Him or her, those are them. Of what again, Them people. Well what people. Is exempt from a Con & Con Artist. Felons & Criminal Activity. Sociopaths, & liars. 

Now the trick question is.

If there was only one crayola of color created by the hands of mankind. What color would mankind judge. In every color. That covers up; the soul of man & woman. That Breathes life in this entire world. Created by God.

Hint; I did not say a Crayola Box. So let's not limit each other. In one with, the race discrepancy. About each other.

We all have fruits to bare. Human faults, strengths & weaknesses; it's the patterns in our DNA. But it's what we do in this skin & flesh. That not one human will be exempt. 

From what? Each other's judgement. Color are race. Now we're talking on the business. In The Affairs & Afflictions. Of being human in this world.

Now, again. If we had all of each other's capabilities to speak on; sacrifices reasoning & answers. Are any answers for ALL in each other. Of what we've done through the history of our own human existence.

We would stop; pardoning SIN. In the Flesh. Over What is obvious. The Struggle is real.

DISREGARDING JUDGMENT; FIRST. OF WHAT WE AS HUMANS ARE if not CAPABLE of. Placing judgement on; our individual selves.

We're not limited to color. Where this skin is involved. How so, what's underneath this skin. We as humans All operate in. Of every;

Mind, is a Body. Of a human Soul.

And when was the last time; any human with all the revelations or relationships. Of his or her own human knowledge. Can compare to God's work in the creation. Of All mankind. Circles back to Jesus Christ & The Holy Bible.

Not one human will get to live an eternity. Without first; talking to God.

Read by Man or Woman to the world. About why Salvation. Is the last step. All humans will seek during the new infrastructure in 

THE Book of REVELATIONS: 21. 

Which human; has not experience fleshly pleasures. But the first humans to judge; of who SINS. While SINNING with one's own mouth. Is in the flesh.

If we're going to punish each other; as human beings. And plot & scheme. Ask one another who is next. To pardon the SIN.

In the presence of the Holy Spirit is; God.

Then who will answer in this flesh. for All the Souls of Man. 

Once judgement day. Is no longer amongst the judges in US. Of what will soon be judged; by GOD.



Cheese

Cheddar & Cheese. As a product there is all Brands. In humanity; there is being human.

Now smile for the camera. Strike a pose. And understand. Regarding your mindset. During real Time. We're all being watched by each other. 

Why, it's what people do; in the world is civil & distress. In these human natures.

Everyday. Take note of your surroundings.

Everyday look in the mirror. To recall what do I see; in me.

Everyday do not leave one footprint; undocumented.

Everyday check in; on those connections.

Why, we're all Being Watched. It's being blinded by not; not me.

To ask oneself; 

Which is bigger? In One's ego. Of  his or her pride.

They got the money, but over there is the connect. But who been watching. And where is that hitter at. 

Where there is one are two with a human idea. The drama continues to live.

The Answer is: it's all human history. So there is no right are wrong answer. 

Why, as humans we assume we're always; right. Even when our wrongs; get exposed in the light.

Gun Shots

The sound is sharp and to the ears. It's the element of sound that's; alarming. But where shots are fired. Bullets will land. Wherever.

In a Society of All people. Is our elders & children. So, what happens next. Where every act of neglect. Are nonchalant is the new mindset. 

If money can negotiate anything. Then why not Peace. In humanity.

Then what is a rational behavior. Verses non rational actions. Fostered in a World. 

One side is rebelling, the other side is advocating. While the remainder sits & watches. Until all hell breaks loose. In silence.

Over;

Trust; takes years & generations to earn. But only a few seconds. For the same bridges of Trust; to burn.

Art Of War

The Art is what the eyes connect to. 

The War is built on what has are is; established. Then demonstrated; in a massive wave of; behaviors & actions.

Main focus; what is. And who is the problem? Is Knowing Truth, and Daring; any source with solid information. To surface to the Top. From what floats underneath. The roots that connect to; every thought.

On one hand it's presented; to All.

In the other hand; it's the gravity in weight. And there is no exceptions. In who wins are losses. If not already: buried.

Why, it's not always about the question Mark's?

It's often about the Mark's; created.

What do you mean? What are you asking. 

What do you see. 

What do you want to hear. 

What do you know. 

Who do you know. 

What happened.

Will the Truth are a Lie. Get the task; completed.

Let's not speak on it. Are talk about it.

How do we fix it?

How will it stay broken?

The Set-up. It's the root in every; orchestrated or by self design. Of a situation.

Until the back fires roll out. 

For now the time; is urgency. Of what is needed in resources of water. Whether are not; it's enough. To quench the fires set. That Continue on; to burn widespread.

Art; is what the eye's see. But out of the mouth; speaks.

War; is a thought out mission in the brains. At what cost?  Depends on who can afford to pay for; a Total Loss. 

What is insanity; repeating cycles, Trends, Patterns & Behaviors. In the history.

What is Tension; an emotion not one human will evade. In the eyes & history; is the ammunition.

 In Civilization in One World; of dual relationships. Divided by the love & hate; in both.

                Art & War      stretching for the order of. Aiming for; complete control.

Dependents

Before judgement on the topic. Let's first figure out. Who are we as the dependents; in this entire world. Are Eventually who will be; dependent on. Of each other person's benefits. 

If not finding ourselves. Directed through prompts, artificial intelligence, data and automated voice prompts. All in dealing with a systemic system.

Because one day. Mom & Dad will not be around. And not every human. In this race of any color. Was created to endure life circumstances; for an eternity. Why, the minds say's I'm getting stronger every day. However the body feels; different. By the bodies response. Reacts from years of using it's internal organs. Are physical presence. And your age are race; is not a factor. 

So, First let's begin with Military Persons. And the military services. These woman & men. Of all classes, and ages of races. Serviced countries foreign & domestic. So, we don't assume wars were only fought; by one race of men & women. 

Then we will move on. In the employment line. Along with Social Security & Disability. Because money did not negotiate with God. Who was without one human flaw. Are who would out think father time.

We question 'Black Folks' conditions. But when we look at ourselves in the world. As a human race. We are the condition. In every human; situation.

So, once we sit down around the rooms in this world. And think about; every violent act. How a child in A family is set back. Now let's redo the statistics & calculate the price. In every environment. Any Race is Humans. And we just don't know. Who is going to become the next dependent; needing another persons benefits. Are who is going to be the next person;

Depending on themselves; under the approval or denials. Manmade & handled. By design of structured; systems.

SPILL

Yesterday, is gone. Today is right now. And tomorrow the sun will rise & set. And all that will matter. Is how we utilize our Time. And ...
