Can somebody say Amen?
And I look to the sky
And I ask these questions
Yes, I feel something I don't understand
Can somebody say Amen?
Amen for the drivers in their garbage trucks
Amen for our mothers,for the lust to fuck
Amen for the child with innocent eyes
Amen for Kevorkian and the right to die
Amen for NASA,The NSA
It's all a front anyway
Amen for Marilyn Manson,Saddam Hussein
Amen for America and the Milky Way.
Amen for Elvis,for Bettie Page
Amen for Gloria Steinham and Ronald Reagan
Amen for O.J.,Clinton too
Amen for the Republican witch hunt coup
Amen for Gandhi,for Malcolm X
Amen for the uprising of the weaker sex
Amen for Babylon, the third world's call,
Amen for the unity of us all
Amen,Amen,Amen

My grandpa. Innovative thinkers. Artists who aren't afraid to break ground. People who are changing the fabric of time. Myself.
"One evening an old Negro man told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego." "The other is good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?" The old Negro man simply replied, "The one you feed."

M.a.N International Productions Inc. [in collaboration with] Rhymes With OrangeZ is proud to announce the official TICKETMASTER release for the one-night premiere show:
PEACE PIECE: "Take A Walk In My Shoes"
PEACE PIECE is a collaborative and interactive, multimedia on-going project that focuses on the ideals of achieving world peace through Art, while also bringing awareness to the urgent need for the funding of the Arts within our public education systems. The first entity towards the project is the live production of "Take a Walk in My Shoes", being filmed for the documentary Peace Piece [Directed by: Ryan Z Deal, Tera Greene, Marissa Alma Nick, Carla Marie Rivera] . The hour long live show is originally composed/edited by TERA "NOVA JADE* GREENE and written/choreographed by MARISSA ALMA NICK ... together, they are known as RHYMES WITH ORANGEz. "Take A Walk In My Shoes" presents itself as a comedic satire set amidst the illusions of a dream & driven by a simple Mailman gone hopelessly astray. This dynamic dance-opera follows the divide of an emotionally driven world, and the lucid journey of those who possess the ironic hope of achieving a unified peace.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SAID ABOUT ME...
MATTEO: YOU HAVE A [THEME SONG] TO WHICH YOU CAN DO THE MACARENA... IT MAKES MIDDLE AMERICA FEEL LIKE THEY CAN DO A HO-DOWN.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
"Our Deepest Fear"

Eden You have eden eyes. Eden is the color of water. Your eyes symbolize your great flexibility. You are a creative person. You can think of many good ways to get your point across to people as you have very good communication abilities. When someone feels down or is hurt, you have the remarkable ability to help them and heal them. If you have too little going on in your life, you may be withdrawn and depressed, timid, manipulative, unreliable, stubborn, or suspicious. Some words to describe you: peaceful, sincere, affectionate, tranquil, intuitive, trustworthy, pure, loyal, healing, and stable.
You are the Moon card. Entering the Moon we enter the intuitive and psychic realms. This is the stuff dreams are made on. And like dreams the imagery we find here may inspire us or torment us. Understanding the moon requires looking within. Our own bodily rhythms are echoed in this luminary that circles the earth every month and reflects the sun in its progress. Listening to those rhythms may produce visions and lead you towards insight. The Moon is a force that has legends attached to it. It carries with it both romance and insanity. Moonlight reveals itself as an illusion and it is only those willing to work with the force of dreams that are able to withstand this reflective light.

A departing word for you, Scorpio. Try not to shut out loved ones. A Scorpio who is feeling troubled is nearly impossible to read. When stress hits, you will seem a million miles away to your family and friends. While initially you will feel depleted by everyday life, including the mere conversation, those around will want to help you by giving you their perspective on your plight. Sometimes Scorpios will remain isolated within themselves too long, as tension makes them throw up barriers in self-protection. Because you won't be getting any input from others, your perspective can become distorted. Recognize that this can happen to you. Your need for physical affection is important, and will reaffirm your self-worth, but your lover will hesitate to reach out to you if you shut him or her out. Open up a little, see how things go. Accept and give physical love.
Your Life Path Number is 4
Your purpose in life is to build your vision.
You are practical and responsible. You work hard, knowing that there are no shortcuts in life.
You work for a better life for yourself and those you love, but you are not an idealist.
Trustworthy and honest, you also demonstrate great courage. People can count on you.
In love, you are a loyal and committed partner. You are the ideal spouse.
You don't give up easily, and sometimes you can be too stubborn and unwilling to change.
You also can be too conservative at times. You sometime miss out on good opportunities.
Also remember that not everyone can work as hard as you, as disappointing as that is!
Who I'd like to meet:
People that are creative and expressive. And remember, kids: Shaved bunny = Bald hare. Idle hands = Devil's playthings. Shut it = Muff dive. Soap and Water. Soap and Water. Spill It! FunkStar*FairyBush*says*FCUK*OFF!
