All that is needed for evil to suceed, is for good to do nothing.

Dramatic Quotes

These are dramatic quotes that I enjoy.

The greatest news is that which is never heard, for everything good must be sought.

Morality and Religion are the walls keeping life in check, without these life would fall into utter chaos.

Nobody knowing the truth dies for a lie.

Lives fall like leaves that we cannot change, but what we can change is where those lives go following death.

An athiest is merely misguided boy, firm in his belief of the eternalness of a mighty oak. Yet blind of the storm that awaits it's eventual destruction.

Judge me not by the heights to which I have climbed, but by the depths from whence i've come.

Dramatic poetry

this is a short dramatic, but somewhat depressing poem called "What is Left." It's meter is eight beats per line.

They laid the dead man in the dirt,
And all his happiness and hurt,

Faded away that day as one,
Despite which one on earth had won,

His hate and passions, loves and fears,
Gone as the eternal sleep nears,

All his quests and goals are now dead,
O the sorrows of the life's bed,

What is left of this young man?
Nothing, he is no more in the land,

Emotional Poetry

Here is one about a Homeless man, thoughts are appreciated.


The torture of my memory,
Makes me wish I cannot see,

There is no light at the end,
My scars of woe I cannot mend,

Against the world alone I stand,
Drowning in water desperate for land,

The ghosts of fate are not my friend,
If this goes on my life will end,

Friends have deserted but hundreds of foes,
I'm filled with pain by Satan's arrows,

The agony I feel makes me lay down and cry,
I am sitting alone and wondering why?

What did I do to deserve all this,
What happened to the years of bliss,

Why should I go on what's for to live?
By my horrible choices I'm a captive,

The grief the distress the torture the pain,
All of my striving it's all been in vain,

The bench in the park is my home now,
My chances are gone I sit with head bowed,

O just one more chance to redeem myself,
It's all one need's to save himself,

But here I sit my live is over,
The time goes steadily getting colder,

And there you go walking by,
A flare of hope and then it dies,

You make yourself think someone else will,
You know its a lie and it's me you kill,

What would've happened if you'd hadn't ran,
What would've happened if you'd given a hand,

Humbleness

Today I would like to talk about a famous man by the name of John the Baptist. John is role model of mine for many reasons, but one of the reasons is because he was an incredibly humble man. It is very hard to be humble but John was, let me explain how.
John chapter 1. It has many verse so I won't post them all, i'll save you the trouble and summarize it. Basically John the Baptist who is a cousin of Jesus, was preaching in Israel. And he was gathering quite a following. He was sharing the gospel, and most notably preparing the way for the lord. This is a somewhat difficult position to be in. I mean who likes to prepare the way for anyone, we all want to be the person in the spot light but John said no, my job is to prepare the way.

Now because he was gathering so many followers and performing miraculous signs people began to wonder if he was the messiah. They asked him, are you Elijah? are you the prophet? are the the Christ? wow what a hard position to be in. Are you the Christ. What if he had said yes. Do you realize how humble he needed to be to say no to essentially an opportunity to rule Israel. If he had said yes the Jews would have followed him and he could have easily led them in rebellion.
This was John's response.
"I am the voice of the one calling in the desert, prepare ye the way of the lord." He described the true Christ to them as, "He is the one who comes after me, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie."
This man was truly humble.

Later on in chapter 3. Jesus’ is becoming more and more popular and the people are rallying around him. Now John is in an awkward position. He used to be the guy but now he submitted of his own free will to let Jesus be the leader. John was related to Jesus. They were cousins and Jesus was younger. So he was submitting to his younger sibling and saying he is my lord and I’m unfit to untie his sandals. He was a humble man.

Then at the end of the chapter, John's disciples approached him saying that some man was baptizing people in the name of God. Basically they were saying this was your job, this other guy is trying to take your job should we take him out? John's response is incredible. He says, "He must become greater; I must become less. This man was Jesus of course and John realized that he needed to submit his will to God's.

John is a perfect example of Humility.
