Standing, my back up against a bank on Peckham high street
Listening to a preacher man on fire in the heat
Every word laced with fierce joy
This man sounds like he’s on the right track but hey no ones listening,
Oh boy
I walk up to this preacher man and inquire “does a gay man have any place in heaven?”
He turns and booms “turn for your wicked ways and watch for the seven”
I retort “would God really create a damned soul?”
He starts quoting Leviticus at me and on he steam rolls
Well I’m searching for the truth
Yes I’m searching for the truth
Oh I’m searching for the truth
Haven’t found it yet
But I’m searching for the truth
A paraplegic with rotten teeth interrupts our conversation
He wants some money but preacher man ignores his lamentation
I say “hey man have you read the Bible code?”
He snaps “the Bible is the infallible word of God it don’t need no God dammed code”
I get up on my toes and ask “can you read ancient Greek?”
He looks me straight in the eye and says “boy listen close to the words that I speak”
“I been touched by the hand of the Lord
I can speak in tongues
I’ve had visions and revelations
I am among the chosen ones
The mysteries of the universe have been laid plain for me to see”
I say “hey that’s great man so you so you can help”
He swallows puts his on my shoulders and says “boy you got to find it out for your self”
Well I’m searching for the truth
Yes I’m searching for the truth
Oh I’m searching for the truth
Haven’t found it yet
But I’m searching for the truth

With feet or no feet, we do not have to search far. God instilled wisdom in each of us, it is we who need to open up our eyes, our hearts.. minds.. to know that in each of us lies the truth. Sad to say even the most incredible person who knows the complete bible, word for word sometimes does not understand the true meaning of faith, of love, of understanding, of simple things, pure and simple written signs upon our hearts that we were created with. We are only lost when we ignore those signs.
From my little Book, Apples of Gold, by C.R. Gibson:
Dare to be wise; begin! He who postpones the hour of living rightly is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses it.
Here is my quote for my life:
When my eye lids shut, my heart still sees, for I never close its door, by Raquel Leah :D |
