It is clear that he does not pray, who, far from uplifting himself to God, requires that God shall lower Himself to him, and who resorts to prayer not to stir the man in us to will what God wills, but only to persuade God to will what the man in us wills.

just doing the will of God
if you like how i have done it
i will tell you
i am just doing the will of God
and if you did not like what i did
and you tell me
that you did not like it and that
you may take my life away
i will still tell you
i am just doing the will of God,
and if you tell me to stop
doing what God wills me to do
i will tell you I won't i can't
i will still do that which God wills
me to do...
for i am nothing, without Him.

Agnostic After 49 Years
49 years are all enough
to perfect
agnosticism.
the icons are sold.
religion is turned off like a nonsense radio.
belief is suspended
like a frozen stalactite.
but for one thing the river still runs to the sea
calling for help.
agnosticism does not expect anything
from an ocean.
it sinks and wills what death wills.

I'm from the Bob Wills and the Little Richard school of music. Bob Wills did what the hell he thought, Little Richard did what he thought, and those were my big influences.

The will is a beast of burden. If God mounts it, it wishes and goes as God wills; if Satan mounts it, it wishes and goes as Satan wills; Nor can it choose its rider... the riders contend for its possession.

Wills
I will speak excellent things and,
I will open up my mouth with the right things of love;
And with carefulness and common-sense!
For my sweet name is called Wills.
I will speak the truth always,
For wickedness is an abomination to my lips!
And like the muse of your love in the land of many waters;
But, i am Wills with the positive mind of life.

San Antonio Rose
(bob wills)
Oh you and all your splendor
It knows only me heart
Call back my rose
Rose of san antone
Oh lips so sweet and tender
Just like petals fallin apart
Speak once again of my love
My ol broken songs
Empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit path
Oh beside the alamo
And rose my rose of san antone
Oh my rose my rose of san antone
Take a bow boys!
You know a lot of people ask me all the time,
Who were my musical influences.
Well I guess its just kinda natural,
Since I was raised in oklahoma,
That one of my musical influences was bob wills music.
When I was in college we used to
Sneak down to the oklahoma and texas border and go to dances.
And it didnt get any better than dancing to bob wills music.
But you know there was another guy from oklahoma.
I had every album he ever put out.
My older brother
Pake and my little sister susie and me, we sang every song he did
Cause merle haggard was a great influence on all of us.

The seeded draw came into being. This means that the two best players of the tournament are placed in opposite halves in the draw, and cannot possibly meet until the finals, if they come through successfully against all the rest of the participants.

Racism Kills
Racist people,
Are the saddest these days.
Racist people,
And their ways...
Are fading away.
Hatred kills!
Chills.
And often excused,
As heroism.
Hatred kills!
And for thrills,
Often is defended...
As a pride.
No matter if it hangs...
Or drags alongside,
Insecurites denied.
Hiding the fact...
Their is jealousy behind,
Evil and often...
Masquerading eyes.
Black, white...
Brown or yellow folks,
Provoking attacks.
On others.
Or themselves!
To stab with a vengeance,
Behind a back.
To distort facts!
Racism kills.
And there is no sense in it.
Racism kills.
And the sense that's meant.
Racism kills.
Leaving minds incensed.
Exposing ills...
And evil wills.
Racism kills.
And there is no sense in it.
Racism kills.
And the sense that's meant.
Racism kills.
Leaving minds incensed.
Exposing ills...
And evil wills.
And evil wills to kill will end.

Iron Will
Dark cloud
garthering from a
magnified thought
Dreams weathering into grimy sky
The world smoking out of smoking pipes
The guiter of sorrow pierced into grieving ears
Pains uniting souls
in school of pain
Now
Sorrow in favor of solace
many tongues yet to grow
Meanings mean no meaning
yet meant to mean
Perhaps
tears of heaven
will nurture earth
Perhaps
liberty still
grows at mounting tops
Else
Will
weaved with will of wills
into the wheel of wills
will ride into
eternity with
flamables and kindler
Perhaps
rose will grow from pool of blood

Sonnet II. (Translated From Milton)
As on a hill-top rude, when closing day
Imbrowns the scene, some past'ral maiden fair
Waters a lovely foreign plant with care,
That scarcely can its tender bud display
Borne from its native genial airs away,
So, on my tongue these accents new and rare
Are flow'rs exotic, which Love waters there,
While thus, o sweetly scornful! I essay
Thy praise in verse to British ears unknown,
And Thames exchange for Arno's fair domain;
So Love has will'd, and oftimes Love has shown
That what He wills he never wills in vain.
Oh that this hard and steril breast might be
To Him who plants from heav'n, a soil as free.

The Nexus Said
The nexus tells us
Wills us
Breaks us
Apart from you
The stars have swollen
The trees whisper
You have failed
Such ambitions
Such premonitions
Since we were children
You have been all I ever known
We got into our fights
Over whats not right
The nexus tells us
Wills us
Breaks us
Apart from you
The stars have swollen
The trees whisper
You have failed
Such ambitions
Such premonitions
You have brought this upon me
Its your own catastrophe
Its your mess
You fix it
Or maybe not
But either way
You lost
What the nexus said will be
Call it karma
Call it destiny
It doesn't change a tragedy
No will
Its over
Its beyond the hopeless endeavor
Its not even close to being clever
Its a shelter being bulldozed down
Its part of the lost and found
So what will be
Will be
I don't need you
You don't need me.
Its just as the nexus said
