I CHALLENGE YOU TO WAKE UP!
You may not actively be apart of the 99% movement, however this does not mean you are not part of the 99% of people who do not control the wealth and power of this WORLD. If this 99% does not make you think about the reality that we and i mean we as a world wide community are facing i challenge you to ask me “Why should i care?” I challenge you to look out side your window and...
99% MOVEMENT
OccupySF will march tomorrow in solidarity with #OCCUPYWALLSTREETat 12 noon. Meet at the Federal Reserve Building on Market and Drumm.Occupy Together
MIC CHECK
As a member of the 99% movement by choice and by obligation due to the pressures of our government and Federal Reserve System, I am standing up for reasons some may not agree with, however it is my right and my duty as an unrepresented citizen of this country to fight for the following: Human Rights, the un-privatization of the Federal Reserve, Schools over Prisons and a Police State,...

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to...
Professor: You are a Christian, aren’t you, son?
Student: Yes, sir.
Professor: So, you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Professor: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Professor: My brother died of cancer, even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn’t. How is God good, then? Hmm?
(Student was silent)
Professor: You can’t answer, can you? Let’s start again, young fella. Is God good?
Student: Yes.
Professor: Is Satan good?
Student: No.
Professor: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From.. God.
Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.
Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.
Professor: So who created evil?
(Student didn’t answer)
Professor: Is there sickness? Immortality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Professor: So, who created them?
(Student had no answer)
Professor: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son.. have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.
Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your God.
Student: No, sir.
Professor: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God, for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Professor: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, Science says your God doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor: Yes, Faith. And that is the problem Science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor: Yes.
Student: No, sir, there isn’t.
(The Lecture Theatre became very quiet with this turn of events)
Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of Heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There was a pon-drop silence in the Lecture Theatre)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?
Student: You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light… But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and it’s called Darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, You would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?
Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is, your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
Professor: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality. You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Professor: If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes of course, I do.
Student: Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going)
Student: Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?
(The class was in uproar)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class broke out into laughter)
Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? .. No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable and Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures?
(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable)
Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on Faith, son.
Student: That is it, sir.. exactly! The link between man and God is Faith. That is all that keeps things alive and moving!
The student's name was Albert Einstein. Brilliant.

I am wild with words moving my pen to the east like a flock of birds
Slick and dangerous if you step, for my words will be the only things that’s left
I am the biggest shark in the ocean. Hungry. Moving from location to location
My words are loud and soothing
My beats by Kanye but i will always speak on my own rhythm
My mind is my temporary home but its no Disneyland

Ink Stained Fingers
My ink stained fingers smear across the page racing with my minds thoughts in a coffee shop full of scents that linger across chattering, ordering, blenders, espressos, and the heat of its hot steam as the Barista assembles drink after drink keeping a smile on her face in order to live up to the stained green apron she adores to serve lined packs of wolves in need of a quick fix to cleanse...

Fear
We cannot allow fear to consume us. Like a disease fear spreads at a rapid rate only leading to destruction. Fear is what controls your freedom. Think about the things you’re enslaved to and why you spend so much on clothes, make up, cars, weapons….its FEAR. Fear of acceptance, judgment, and the unknown. Dont buy into the hype. Free your self of Fear.

I can’t stand the world I live in but yet I love breathing in the life that I was given
Yeah I’m a hypocrite wanting to take out my surroundings like Stewey but party in the flashing lights going “gigity gigity” like Quagmire at a whore house
