The Evolution Theory VS. Holy Bible = No Contest

The Evolution Theory VS. Holy Bible = No Contest

When I think about some of the lessons I learned in school at a young age, I can’t help but think about certain topics. The topic that I really thought was a waste of time was the Evolution Theory.  You know the theory of which I am referring to. The one that says man evolved from monkeys and gorillas over thousands of years.

I also think about the times we went to Sunday school. I remember learning about Adam & Eve. We were taught that God created man and then from Adam’s rib, he created a woman. The Holy Bible never stated nor implied that God made monkeys or gorillas and called them men and women. The Holy Bible specifically says “God created man in his image”.

There are plenty of learning institutions that still teach this theory as fact. What amazes me most is that some of those same institutions also have Bible study as part of the required curriculum.

I not only have a strong disbelief in the Evolution Theory but I also believe those who teach and believe in it can’t possibly believe in the Holy Bible. You see the fact is the Evolution Theory directly contradicts the book that is sacred to all Christians. I am a Christian. With that in mind, I must proudly say, “I believe in the Holy Bible”…………… What do you believe?

The Last Conversation

THE

LAST

CONVERSATION

I once had a conversation with a young man who was heading down what I believed to be the wrong path. Although I had never seen him use drugs, the signs were as obvious as the sun setting on the most beautiful of days. It was sad to see the light diminish from eyes that were so bright with potential.

On a warm summer day, I decided I would try to make a difference in his life any way I could. I decided I wouldn’t give up on him just as my loved ones never gave up on me. Though I’ve never used drugs, I too was headed down the wrong path. Fortunately a detour called unconditional love intervened and I believe I’m back on the road to a full productive life.

The next time I saw the young man, I asked him if he had a moment to spare. He said “sure, why not”. So we sat down and began to talk about sports and the neighborhood.

Eventually the conversation changed to something a lot more serious. We began to talk about life. We also spoke about things we’d like to accomplish. I had him right where I wanted him. He was finally thinking about the future. His future.

This is what was said during the last part of the conversation:

Emerson: If you had twenty dollars and I only had one dollar, would you gamble with me?        

Young man: no! of course not!

Emerson: why not?

Young man: because I’ve got more to lose than you.

Emerson: oh, I see. Do you value your life more than you value your friends?

Young man: of course I do. Their just people I hang out with. So of course my life is more important to me. I’ll always love myself more.

Emerson: I’m glad to hear you say that.

Young man: what’s up with all these weird questions? I mean like exactly what are you trying to say.

Emerson: actually you said it all.

Young man: There you go again. Would you please get to the damn point. I don’t have time to sit here and try and figure out what you mean.

Emerson: You don’t have to figure out what I mean. You already know.

Young man: look I’m outta here, I told you I don’t have time for this stuff right now. I have to go pick up something for mom.

Emerson: o-k, o-k wait I’m sorry… Look you did say that you wouldn’t gamble with me because you had more to lose than me?

Young man: Yeah!  So for the last time, what the hell is your point???

Emerson: Young man didn’t you say you value your life more than you value the lives of the friends you get high, I mean hang out with? Because if that’s what you said, then I’m sure you must think you have more to lose than them. I mean after all, your smart enough to not gamble with me when I had only a dollar to lose. I’m also sure that you realize that you are gambling with your life when you smoke; I mean hang out with your friends. It’s a gamble. Though you don’t see it now, you are definitely losing. The fact is, you will not survive if you keep doing what your doing.

Young man: look I have to pick up something for mom. I should have picked it up already. Are you finished yet?

Emerson: Yeah…Yeah, I’m finished. I just hope your not.

Young man: Alright man. I guess I’ll see you later then.

Emerson: Yeah, Peace.

I knew the young man didn’t have to pick up anything for his mother. His mother had long been deceased for for a short time now. He had forgotten the fact that I attended her funeral a few months earlier.

Unfortunately, I was right in my suspicion that the young man was in fact going to satisfy what had started as a weekend habit but has now evolved into a daily addiction.  I suspected but I could do nothing to stop him. His desire to do whatever he wanted do to was greater than my ability to stop him.

The young man was later found lying face down in the street unconscious. When I arrived on the scene, he was barely breathing. Though I’m not a doctor I checked for a pulse. If there was one, I couldn’t find it.

When the paramedics arrived, they performed CPR. It was too late. They covered him from head to toe. The young man was pronounced dead at exactly 5:36pm.. The official cause of death was drug overdose.

I am still trying my best to forget the look on his face when we found him in the street. It was almost as if at the end he was thinking about the same thing I’ll never forgot.

I believe he was thinking about… The Last Conversation.

Drunk Driving

“DRUNK DRIVING”

You’re a drunk driver on the highway

In your lane, you cannot stay

You see you went out and then you drank a lot

You saw red light and you didn’t stop

Cause you were going too fast, your car began to swerve

You ran a red light and hit a little girl

Police arrived but you weren’t there

You left the scene like you didn’t care

But in reality you didn’t realize

The consequences when you drink and drive

So you take another sip to get you home

You get there and you’re all alone

So you fall asleep until the very next day

What went on? you cannot say

You just over the sink throwing up

And now you wish you hadn’t drank so much

You’re stomach is saying pop pop, and fizz fizz

You need relief and you need it quick

The next thing you know there’s a cop at your door

He said, “Where were you the night before”?

Well you were surprised so you tried to lie

You told him a story he did not buy

And so he charged you with hit and run

Now a little girl’s life is done

So don’t drink and drive, and don’t drive and drink

Alcohol affects the way you think.

Life & Love

Life & Love

Its amazing how some people think you are smart sometimes and then try to play you for a fool 

That's like trying to convince a person how book smart someone is when you know damn well they never went to school 

One day they need advice, then the next day they think they know it all 

If telling ridiculous lies is a phone, they are constantly making prank calls 

Those are the type of people who never respected you regardless of what they say 

Though it hurts at first, their true feelings for you were always on display 

Then again, everything that feels good isn't always good for us 

It's a fact that when we step back we realize certain things are a must  

When "I" never turns into "we", it's a hint and a half for that ass 

It should be an obvious clue to me and you that a relationship will never last 

Therefore, It's time to go your separate ways, starting today 

No shame, just not interested in the games; no longer willing to play 

Though life and love is a game and it has always been 

It's true that some people don't know the rules which makes it harder to win 

So they sit on the side lines and never really get in the game 

Life and love wasted, no one but themselves to blame; simply put, what a shame.

Bring On The Rearations

Bring On The Reparations

 We were stolen from the villages of Africa and brought to this land

We were brought though we fought while being dragged in the sand

In route to and loaded on something we now call a slave ship

Shackled like cattle by a bunch of hypocrites

In the darkest of nights and roughest of seas

I wont deny they tried to strip us of our dignity

They raped my mama, my sister yet they called us niggers

We worked in the hot sun while they held guns with their fingers on the triggers

We had no shoes on our feet and most times nothing to eat

Still expected to work even though our feet hurt we got beat

By some man I didn’t know or like because he just raped my wife

In front of my children, now I have to kill him if it takes the rest of my life

I won’t tell anyone else because it’s a vow I made to myself

When I get the chance, I’ll change this man by making my presence felt

Not with violence but in silence, I’ll use the knowledge I’ve acquired

To extinguish the racist views he spews, yes I’ll put out the race fire

And since it’s my prerogative to stay positive as I live in this twenty first century

Though some didn’t expect, I choose to give respect by honoring my forefather’s memory

And since knowledge is power, I’ll use it to devour the souls of all racist people

I wont claim to be superior just not inferior you see I believe all men are created equal

So you need not fear me but you do need to hear me when I say stop the procrastination

Your ancestors the molesters, though long gone were wrong you know, so bring on the reparations!

She Said

She Said.......

She said she loved you when she knows in her heart she lied

She said she'd be different when she knows she never tried

She said she missed you when you left but instead tears of joy she cried

She said she only wanted you but her feelings for another she would always hide

She said she wanted you to tell her everything but in you she would never confide

She said she thought you were her equal but superiority is what she felt inside 

She said she hoped you'd live forever together although she knows her feelings died

She said she would feed your needs because support is what she could provide

She said she'd be fresh air if it needs to be applied, instead she's carbon dioxide

She said she would be a friend til the end but once again, she has lied.
