Pardon me miss
But i couldn't help but notice
How at fooling men and making your way
You are simply a novice
Allow me to say things so few
And show you how to be
A winner for sure

I know a thing or two
About stealing a man's faith
Getting a bargain on his soul
and I can teach you that trick too
I saw Samson tear men limb from limb
But Delilah's charm he had to succumb
The strongest man in the world
Ha!Brought down to his knees

Meaningless meaningless
All of life is meaningless
He correctly deduced
But Solomon's wisdom
Could not produce
A way out of a smile and wink
Of healthy bossoms and whispers of sweet nothings
Wisest man in the world
A fool for the sweetest of sins

Still question my resume?
Well I'll come forwad just a tad
To Jimmy Swaggart sweatin and weepin like a lad
Claiming to have had a moment of weakness
The champion of the world
Float like a butterfly sting like a bee
Couldn't duck the kisses of any woman  
Who looked like she was 23
I played them  like a game of chess
The Vatican's men blaming it all on me
Blame me for their insidious crimes
When they go against the cloth
Sold their souls for the second time
Waiting for the rapture
Their seats far from sure

I've waged wars
Rode the tanks into the heart of Poland
Watched from the sidelines
As kings and queens fought in the name
Of the gods that they made
Every man is a thief
Waiting to have something to steal
Every man has is price
Just waiting on the right deal
Every man is a servant
Waiting for a master before whom they can kneel

Now give me just a minute
Every man's got his limit
They'll lose their faith in the summer time
Just cause it won't stop raining
Give up their homes and all they own
for passion with 
By now you've guessed my name
But what's the name of my game?
I've got many a man on my roster
and you would surely play a big part
Fascists, rapists and killers
None of them could ever do as much
As a good woman gone wrong
So here's my card
Won't you please consider?

Every Refuge has its price: My visit to the Prophet Mbonye- led Fellowship of Remnants

I'm not really the kind of guy that's spontaneous. Many a companion has tried to get me to do things spur of the moment and had their enthusiasm slowly drained as I whipped out my calendar to see if I could spare the time for their aside. Want to go to the bar? -Better give me a day's notice. Want to have lunch today?Better shoot me a text before 8am. Want to come over to my place? Send an owl with a handwritten letter in triplicate at least 4 business days ahead! I'm just the type of person who generally knows what I'll be doing days in advance. It was therefore rather out of the ordinary for me to suddenly think one Monday afternoon - "Hey why don't I just go see what is going on at the Mbonye thing ? " I texted my friend and asked her if she'd want to go with me but true to adult life-arranging a time that worked for us both was a little difficult. But this played right into my wheelhouse. We finally set a date and I was excited. In

The Disasterous Liberating Encounters of Love

Image
This is a brief story of a boy and his encounters with love  All quotes used are by Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek Love as an event    "Love is a disturbance of the existing order, the intrusion of the impossible into the possible, the subversion of the symbolic order. It disturbs the reality we take for granted, and reveals that reality is not all there is, that there is always something more." Isn't it true that many of us fall in love and it is a complete disaster? You are moving along enjoying your life, hanging out with friends, playing sports, reading questionable books, and wondering where exactly your life is going but you are too busy enjoying the ride to ruin it with questions.  For the boy, it was in the way he was coming into his own, from nerdy to well still nerdy but able to fool most of the people some of the time that he had some cool aspects!! Women were starting to pay attention to this lad who'd just survived puberty but retained the earnestness

Dont Act. Just Think : A short lesson from 2023

Image
Friends, as the embers of another year flicker low, I feel a chill wind whispering through the cracks in the edifice we call progress. It's not the usual New Year's shivers, the anxieties about resolutions, the hollow clink of glasses filled with liquid courage. It is a deeper tremor, a confession from the soul. that's been ill at ease for a while. This year served up losses. From loved ones gone too soon, to opportunities dashed through no fault of my own, to the inescapable loss of contentment at living in step with the just the way life is. Never more has the phrase " personal is political " resonated so much. Never have I seen change, innovation, and hoe mounted everywhere but in the realm of communal decision making how we decide the relations of life between us. For years, I, too, sang the siren song of self-reliance, the gospel of "hard work saves us.". That's a bit f luck and surely we can all make it.I was intimately aware of the challen
