Recipe for Compassion--Part one

In the name of the Most High..

This is an excerpt from part one of a triology I am working on...

Dissect your heart out and put it on a spaceship
Send it to a dying star before its death
Then tell it to watch its explosion and reflect on it
It will say “God is great” only seconds in
Cause it was created to know what we forget in sin
Let it collect the stardust God has left it in
Take heart valves and use them as suction
And once the stardust is in blow it through to ventricles
Stuff it in both atriums
You will then awaken love
Then keep it in your heart until it’s soft
Once love rises put heart back in a spaceship
As it watches stars in outer-spaces
Send it back to earth as an alien but teach it the basics
Evidence is salient that you’re out of place
But you come in peace to collect pieces of broken freedom where you see them
When assembled they’re called a Revolution
So add passion to the solution
Wait for the savage intrusion of inspiration
Allow it to take no prisoners in your spaceship
Tell them of the stars as they are star gazing
And how you were once among them in a sort of matrix
Tell them it was a dream but also reality
When they ask you for the evidence
Tell them it’s in your heart

The soul reason

Don't fear that monster inside you that wants to be beautiful, it's only your soul.

Tell it to pay attention when your heart is speaking...
that giants are not incubated...
that revolutions are as simple as heartbeats...
that the mind and heart must converse to ignite change.

Tell your soul this is war but its not enough to fight it.
We must win.

I will be performing at another Haiti Relief fundraisor March 9th in the Student Life Centre great hall of the University of Waterloo (9:00pm). So if you missed the first few come out to this one! This is not a ticketed event but donations will be accepted for the cause. There will be over 20 artists performing at this event so it will be an explosion of raw artistic expression! Don't miss out! If you're reading this and you're in the KW area I hope to see you there, God Willing.

For everything that I have been blessed with....all praise is due to the Most High.

Peace&love
