The Murder of Death

"The devotees of death take life, consume it, exhaust every living thing. Then they move on, forever seeking newer boundaries. Wherever there are living remnants undestroyed, there lies more work for them."

Aye Kwei Armah
Two Thousand Seasons

The assassin struck, without warning. Death collapsed into a lifeless heap, shaking the houses, hills, seas; the entire world shook.

The beautiful spell Death wove, was broken with his demise. "Death is dead", the crowd cried out, wondering what would now become of them.

The scared masses screamed for the return of their good friend, the one who had given their life soo much meaning.

Through starvation, torture, ignorance, Death had held hands, freezing atoms, with a reality that made journeys more bearable. Death made suffering define its own end; know peace, understand freedom.

"In Death's face, his eyes, one could see a perfect understanding of what life could be", the mourners wailed, "a darkness, infinite in depth and aesthetic brilliance", they continued, faces and hands to the sky, feet firmly on the ground.

The murder of Death caused the people, soo much trauma, that they all began to die, slowly. For how now, could they ever be saved, by their dead saviour?

"A people losing sight of origins are dead. A people deaf to purposes are lost. Under fertile rain, in scorching sunshine there is no difference: their bodies are mere corpses, awaiting final burial....

Have we not seen the devotees of death? They are beyond the source's beckoning. Purpose has no power to draw them foward from dead todays. Make way for them along the easy road. Those with their guts cracked out of them, those with minds so minced all their remembrance would turn to pain, leave them along the easy road. Do not condemn, do not pity them. Let them go.

Or would you try reminding them of their murdered selves? As well graft black blighted leaves. Some restful night after the first thousand and the second thousand seasons the loss of such, devoted to whiteness in their souls, will appear justly: a gain."

Good read....

Without death what is the worth of life?

Without death is there no immorality? or does death make it matter?

Because those of us who claim Christianity view Jesus Christ's ultimate sacrifice as a spiritual gift of possible salvation to those who despised him, and because they use him as a model for at least their verbal behavior, it places us in the unenviable position of needing; to sacrifice ourselves to save our destroyers. It places us in a pyschologically unsound, no win situation. We are moved to place ourselves in harms way, to betray those closest to us who would act against our enemies (those betraying our Christ), to forgive whatever is done to us as an act of someone who just does not understand what they do and to operate suicidally in the presence of our enemies.

We want to be Christ, "attention wise." We want to be the one glorified for the ultimate sacrifice. The biggest prize, the greatest fame would come from saving the bringers of chaos and destruction by allowing them to kill us in the name of Christ. We selfishly, "selflessly" give ourselves in the hope that our death will guide them to see their wrong and, in turn lead them to beg us for forgiveness. This seemingly unselfish act would, of course, also guarantee our entry into an otherworldly heaven.

There are three things wrong with this thinking though.

One, our enemies do know exactly what they do to us. They are not confused or blind to the meaning behind, or effect of, their actions.

Another is that there is no conscience to prick. These are psychopathic people. As Bobby E. Wright so deftly observed, they are racist psychopaths, fully intent on our genocide.

And, the other is that they are already doing what they know is right. There are no minds to change them from. They are already thinking out of their right minds....

"We must realize that they established this racist white supremacy
position through years and years of brainwashing techniques, through
missionary work and other scheming techniques. It has taken them
upward of some 500 years to gain control of our people's minds. What
we must understand is that if they could do it, we can do it, we don't
have any other choice, our task is to raise the level of consciousness
of Afrikans world wide, in other words undo what the white man has
done, so that we will not have members of the Afrikan family who belong
to that dead living group."

The spirit is a manifestation of forces within

Good thoughts produce joy, but beware that's all sin

The order of the worker, produces disorders of the head

To dissent is to question, the reality of the dead

For the living seek life, and it's fruit inherently taught

Unto men who die young and women who fear naught

Good thoughts produce joy, but beware that's all sin

The spirit is a manifestation of forces within
