In this land of suffering We do things to each other That have no justification. Nobody is innocent, Everyone has a part to play In making the world as it is today.
And Jesus said, Let he who is without sin Cast the first stone. Let the sinful man cast The last one, and be judged.
Atrocity is atrocity, Everything is meant to be And when we judge, Judged are we, This, the nature of reality.
Nobody's perfect, Except maybe God, And this is why This land of Nod Exists, for outcasts, Liars, and manipulists.
And if you say I am none of the above Cast that stone And kill, my love.
In the distant past I took a vow, To teach the truth To those who, somehow, Have lost their way. I'm not perfect, And this I never did say, But I guess you are, So have it your way.
And think what you want of me, Everything happens for a reason, you see.
I find it amazing that such personal thoughts can have such universal appeal. I find life to be amazing, and myself a miracle that proves my faith. I don't know where my talent comes from, and at times, I wish it wasn't so.
Despite what some people may believe here, I don't hold grudges. But its hard for me to forget things because I have an eiditic memory. One of my worst challenges in life is to realize that if I let people walk all over me, the bootmarks on my back are not their fault. They're mine.
Thanks for your kind words everyone. I hope we can all learn the lesson of loving-kindness and learn to love and appreciate each other NOW, not after its far too late.

We do things to each other
That have no justification.
Nobody is innocent,
Everyone has a part to play
In making the world as it is today.
And Jesus said,
Let he who is without sin
Cast the first stone.
Let the sinful man cast
The last one, and be judged.
Atrocity is atrocity,
Everything is meant to be
And when we judge,
Judged are we,
This, the nature of reality.
Nobody's perfect,
Except maybe God,
And this is why
This land of Nod
Exists, for outcasts,
Liars, and manipulists.
And if you say
I am none of the above
Cast that stone
And kill, my love.
In the distant past
I took a vow,
To teach the truth
To those who, somehow,
Have lost their way.
I'm not perfect,
And this I never did say,
But I guess you are,
So have it your way.
And think what you want of me,
Everything happens for a reason, you see.
