More Like "American Nightmare"

"How can we as people look out at the world and see that what we have created, isn't good enough? so we build over, and we destroy peoples lives because truthfully we just don't care if our billion dollar empire kills millions of families happiness. I wish I could puke, but the truth is I am almost out of bile. American Dream? What is the American Dream? Does that mean you can buy as many bottles of booze, and hookers as you party your way to your death? Did the American Dream ever mean to get all coked up on your drug of choice, and make a fool of yourself on television. Does that mean now that you can buy whatever your heart desires that when something goes terribly wrong you can pull out your cash, and buy your way out of a bloody situation? If that's what the "American Dream" is all about then I want nothing to do with that disease. When I look at the TV all I see is the innocent people of this nation being kidnapped, being killed, being hurt, and all we can come up with is a new show to bicker back and forth at each other, and do nothing to help. In it for the money, and nothing else. How useless are we that all we care about is making the next new show about following another broken Celebrities family in their everyday life. How pathetic? Is this suppose to make me proud to be an American? There are people risking there lives for this freedom, and all we know how to do is make fools of ourselves. What does it mean to be an American? Does it mean to have a wife with 2.5 kids, and work a boring job, working the same hours a week? Maybe the reason I am so depressed is because when I look out at the world I see something God couldn't possibly want. This is not what God meant when he said love your neighbor, he didn't mean break into another man's house, murder him and kidnap his four year old daughter. Where is my hope? Because at one point in my life it was staring at me in the face, now I am looking in every corner, but all I am really finding is darkness. So where is our America, where is our beautiful home, because it's not here anymore?"

Well reading this makes me sad but I have never thought about it in this way. There is a lot of violence and greed in our country now. The fighting over money and power is ridiculous and God would not want this. We need to pray for our country.

If I Could I Would

If I could change a thing, I think I would have changed everything. If I could have known the truth, I would have never been with you. Twenty-five and I am so tired of this childish love, And all the pain that comes along with all its games. Seems such a waste to throw it all away, But I am who I am, like me or not, But you will never be able to change me. The world has its grips on you, And I am no way getting involved. Today could be the greatest of days, But what would you have changed? All of your wrong mistakes, your bad calls, All your fear and lies, Or are you just so selfish inside? If I could change the way we were, I think I would change everything. If I knew the absolute truth about you, I would have never even met you. Twenty-five to life with all that you did, Is this the end of love, should I give up? And here I am stuck with a broken heart, And busted up sight. These days are blurring together, And nothing seems al...

The Longest Day Dream

Is this what it takes to make an illusion, or Will this ever come to be the truth? Why do I do the things I do? Why do I dream of these horrible things? I just want to know your view. It hurts to know what is not meant to be real. It hurts never knowing what will hurt next. I don’t want you to forget about me. I don’t ever want to go far away. I want to stick around forever. I want to stand up and fight. I don’t want to lay down and die. I want to be more than a weird nobody. I can’t breath on my own. I can’t stand on my own to feet. I need you more than I can imagine. Tell me that everything is O.K! I wish I could say that everything is alright. We can run away and live on forever. Where ever I go the pain follows my soul. Please make it go away from here. I want us to be free from this rule. I want us to run and never think again. I feel like this is my dream, and When I wake my smile will disappear. I want to say hey, everything is great! I want to hold you and talk of the good thin...

Is It God, or Just Luck?

As a young Christian there are a lot of things that I don’t understand, and searching for them has been amazing. I know that I will spend a lot of time this year studying the word of God, more than any other year. So the first thing that caught my eye was the idea of Chance, and Luck. How do you know that someone was put in your life out of randomness? Well as Christians it says in the bible that we shouldn’t believe in these things because God is in the workings of all aspects of our lives. Ephesians 1:11 “In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will,” So let’s say you meet someone, and you fall in love, but you did everything wrong in the relationship, so God splits you up, what do you do now? Depending on how you still feel about each other I would say to start again, but put your focus on God. As of free will we have the ability to choose love, so the way I feel is that i...
