It was a question of helping a man prepare in the way that suits him best. The theory is if you give a man responsibility for his own actions, then it is up to him to accept that responsibility.

Prayer for Forgiveness
i knelt down and prayed
this morning for forgiveness
for everything this country is doing
around the world...
for the oil wars,
for the partnerships
with countries that abuse
human rights...
for the dictators we
both prop up and remove...
for the gluttony and the greed
here at home.... for the apathy,
for the self centered path
of destruction we march on...
for those left hungry, homeless,
without medical care, without hope...
and i know i am a part of this...
i take responsibility for my actions,
my inaction, my complacency...
and vow to stand for truth,
and to walk in involved
human compassion!
join me!

As human beings, we are endowed with freedom of choice, and we cannot shuffle off our responsibility upon the shoulders of God or nature. We must shoulder it ourselves. It is our responsibility.

It Is Commendable of Him
It is commendable of him...
Professing to take full responsibility,
For the actions of thieves initiating disasters.
He wants to prove to the majority,
That he is an able and confident leader.
But those accustomed to being self obsessed...
Are often discovered,
Leading themselves into their own distresses.
Only to lay accountability and their shame,
At the feet of one who is brave enough...
To take responsibility.
But those observing in admiration,
Empathize with the foolish act one takes.
Knowing that true leadership...
People are not familiar with nor appreciate.

Of earlier lives.

Awareness Notes...
what we are talking about today
is living in awareness, the costs
of our actions and inactions, and
not being owned by the things we possess.
what it comes down to is responsibility,
and the vision and knowledge to make
good choices.... conscious living.
living with respect... for all living
beings, for the costs and results of
our own actions... for every breath
that goes into each moment, for every
sacrifice that goes into meeting each need!

Just An Innocent Question
Do I what?
Am I prepared to take responsibility...
For 'your' actions?
Huh?
'Hey?
Why are you running away from me.
Hey...
Yo,
It was just an innocent question.
HEY...'

Take Responsibility
it's time for the
evangelical preachers
to stop shouting:
'God's casting His judgement
upon the earth! '
God's not doing this!
we are!
take responsibility for
your own actions!

I felt ashamed for what I had done. I don't have any excuses. I did what I did. I take full responsibility for myself and my actions. I wouldn't pawn this off on anybody. I'm sorry it happened. And I hurt people.

Simple Words, And Quietness!
i used to write
with exploding images,
and intricate rhymes.
mapping the grand design
of passion unfolding.
but now i've reached a place
of quietness, and simple words,
raw honesty, and tiny flames...
and i'm at peace with myself.
i know that all war is wrong,
that hunger and homelessness
are a scourge, the result
of our own actions.
and i feel deeply the responsibility
to share in the suffering
of one and all.
i dont blame anything on God,
we havent even touched
what God is with our concepts.
dont blame anything on politicians,
we put them there
out of our own apathetic greed.
i dont blame lonliness on lovers,
you cant know love
without having been lonely.
age brings with it a deep sense
of mortality, and of the value
of each fleeting moment.
it's all too easy to spend
your life fighting and working
for things that have no lasting value...
i know, i've been there.
i learned to look in the mirror,
and really see myself.
learned to look at myself,
and see all others.
i've taken responsibility for
my thoughts and desires,
as well as my actions...
so i have no right to judge.
compassion, and giving...
celebrate the moment.
what i dont know
i dont have to know...
i have enough faith
to keep walking.
simple words, and quietness!

A Message To My Mom
Where were you when I needed you?
Were you with that wanna be?
I should have known.
You'd take any guy.
Instead of taking care of your daughter.
I don't know why I waste my time writing about you.
When you don't give a damn about me or the other kids you lost.
Yes, I amitt I stil love you.
But now think do you really love me?
Do you care for any other person besides you?
If you did stop KILLING me with your actions.
I am tired of hearing about your accidents.
I never asked you for anything.
Now I will, though you might not do this....
Can you please CLEAN UP?
Take some RESPONSIBILITY for your actions and your kids.
Could you do that for me?
You write saying how your life is hell.
Life is what you make of it.
If you don't like it, change it.
If you put your mind to something you could do anything you want to.
If you want to clean up.... DO IT! ! !
I believe in you.

Family Of Man
Predjudice and discrimination like two sided knives
Solutions not found in the destruction of human lives.
What can be done when a difficult problem we have to bear?
In silence to ask our God for a solution; or at least to share.
Of all the battles from the pages of human history
None with so much Godly favor, as a family victory.
All nations and religions during the eons of time
God has always said; 'the children are mine'
Education of sons and daughters resides in the family of man
Thoughts, words and actions; so the child will understand.
Allow the child to expess itself and do not be cruel
Parents and adults also have to practice; 'the golden rule'.
Talk to them about both sides of each story
They may offer a third and bring forth glory.
The child must hear of pregnancy and the act
What timely responsibility is; and what are the truthful facts.
What abortion is and what it can do
A removal of God's gift to touch an image of self; and also you.

Infinite Wisdom...
'end of times, end of days,
only the strong will survive.
call it justice, the American way,
call it the great lie! ...'
we have made an incredible
mess of this world...
wars, greed, pollution,
poverty, enslavement,
human rights abuses,
hunger, sickness, homelessness...
that's on us!
you want me to believe...
that God, in his infinite wisdom,
is going to come and bail us out...
what if God, in his infinite wisdom,
showed up with a shovel,
and a wheelbarrow...
and said:
'you made this mess,
you clean it up! '
teaching the children
to take responsibility
for their actions...
hmmn...
just a thought!
