Michelle Obama, My Love For You is Like Three Hebrew Boys!!!



*dedicated to Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego


"Whoever does not fall down and worship will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace."
---------------------[Michelle Obama, My Heart Is Singed Without You]-----(Sorry Barack! We can work something out with Michelle – YES WE CAN!)




Michelle, baby, you already know this
but I would rather burn than be without you

You see,
King Nebuchadnezzar is the prevailing choleric notion
that you and I are somehow incompatible; that we could never be
and it is an obstruction to my heart, like an image of gold, ninety feet high
daunting
that compels me to bow down, worship, find another woman
(and accept the fact that I am not good enough for you)
and just walk away
but I am resistant to the astrologers, and heralds (naysayers) that promulgate
this insidious conception, no matter how sweet
their horns, flutes, zithers, lyres, harps and all kinds of music portray it
I love you so much-no
I love you too much to give up on you so insouciantly
even if it stokes the fury of the king
and I am bound with chords of anxiety by strong, hulking men of intimidation
and tossed away
(by public opinion)

My love for you is trifold
Shadrach (devotion), Meshach (compassion) and Abednego (gentleness)
thrown immediately into a blazing furnace of appraisal
seven times hotter than usual
because true love must overcome the most severe adversity
but the God I serve (a fairy tale marriage) is able to save me
from those who doubt us,
from those who say we wouldn't last
I will emerge without a hair on my head singed
and with a fourth piece of love, like the son of the gods:
ardor


[and a kiss from your prominent lips :) ]



COME ON MICHELLE, I KNOW YOU GOT THAT WHOLE BARACK THING GOING ON, BUT GIVE ME A CHANCE! MY LOVE FOR YOU IS LIKE THREE HEBREW BOYS!!!


Daniel 3:1-30------------------------------------
King Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold, ninety feet high and nine feet wide, and set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon. He then summoned the satraps, prefects, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates and all the other provincial officials to come to the dedication of the image he had set up. So the satraps, prefects, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates and all the other provincial officials assembled for the dedication of the image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up, and they stood before it. Then the herald loudly proclaimed, "This is what you are commanded to do, O peoples, nations and men of every language: As soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up. Whoever does not fall down and worship will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace." Therefore, as soon as they heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp and all kinds of music, all the peoples, nations and men of every language fell down and worshiped the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up. At this time some astrologers came forward and denounced the Jews. They said to King Nebuchadnezzar, "O king, live forever! You have issued a decree, O king, that everyone who hears the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes and all kinds of music must fall down and worship the image of gold, and that whoever does not fall down and worship will be thrown into a blazing furnace. But there are some Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon— Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego —who pay no attention to you, O king. They neither serve your gods nor worship the image of gold you have set up." Furious with rage, Nebuchadnezzar summoned Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. So these men were brought before the king, and Nebuchadnezzar said to them, "Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the image of gold I have set up? Now when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes and all kinds of music, if you are ready to fall down and worship the image I made, very good. But if you do not worship it, you will be thrown immediately into a blazing furnace. Then what god will be able to rescue you from my hand?" Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up." Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual and commanded some of the strongest soldiers in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and throw them into the blazing furnace. So these men, wearing their robes, trousers, turbans and other clothes, were bound and thrown into the blazing furnace. The king's command was so urgent and the furnace so hot that the flames of the fire killed the soldiers who took up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and these three men, firmly tied, fell into the blazing furnace. Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement and asked his advisers, "Weren't there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?" They replied, "Certainly, O king." He said, "Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods." Nebuchadnezzar then approached the opening of the blazing furnace and shouted, "Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!" So Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came out of the fire, and the satraps, prefects, governors and royal advisers crowded around them. They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them. Then Nebuchadnezzar said, "Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has sent his angel and rescued his servants! They trusted in him and defied the king's command and were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God. Therefore I decree that the people of any nation or language who say anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego be cut into pieces and their houses be turned into piles of rubble, for no other god can save in this way." Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the province of Babylon.

Uriah Lived


*Dedicated to the memory of Uriah. Good men: persevere


An Entreaty Refused; Uriah's Prose (2 Samuel 11)-----------------
(The words of Uriah in King David's Court)


It was the latter end of December, years ago
at dusk
en route home after infantry training,
sloped against a dilapidated alley wall
I noticed a crippled, sickly, disheveled man
slightly writhing...sporadically convulsing (and coughing)
I hurriedly ran to him and extended my hand
hoping to provide him lodging at my house, shelter
from the shivery, frigid wind chills
but I was too late…his hands colder than the fiercest winter.
Before dying he stared directly into my eyes
"you are my second chance, redemption for a life
miserably mismanaged, cruelly expressed
if you seek my well-being, then promise to live fully and honorably (for me)
and don’t look back"
So now I always will myself to rise before the sun comes up
to make my peace before the Ark of the Covenant with God
I have made many mistakes and deserve more so to die than most
but by God have been spared, while others lament in Sheol
or pray to pass over there while unbearably writhing on earth
death before dishonor
a temporal noble life before eternal ignominy
that's what I promised him
I don't mind sleeping outside on the ground tonight
for this is a life
(my life)
worth dying for



[for Jerusalem, liberty, Abraham and Moses...
and my band of brothers in the fields marching]



2 Samuel 11:6b-11-------------------------------
And Joab sent him to David. When Uriah came to him, David asked him how Joab was, how the soldiers were and how the war was going. Then David said to Uriah, "Go down to your house and wash your feet." So Uriah left the palace, and a gift from the king was sent after him. But Uriah slept at the entrance to the palace with all his master's servants and did not go down to his house. When David was told, "Uriah did not go home," he asked him, "Haven't you just come from a distance? Why didn't you go home?" Uriah said to David, "The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in tents, and my master Joab and my lord's men are camped in the open fields. How could I go to my house to eat and drink and lie with my wife? As surely as you live, I will not do such a thing!"

I Am The Last King of Judah



[Jennifer I know loving you is fraught with perils but I refuse to listen to pure reason (the prophet Jeremiah) and choose to persist in loving you anyway. The demise of my love for you is certain...but let me savor these remaining moments I have as king (of my fantasies)]


Zedekiah's demise; Jennifer is Gone Forever (Jeremiah 39; 52)
-------


Jeremiah (reason) warned me to surrender
to forfeit love
to let dreams die
Judah (my heart) has been besieged by marauding Chaldeans (pessimists, banishing hope)
my walls surrounded on all sides, pressed
Visions of kissing your lips starving, driven to despair
like residents of Jerusalem huddled together, bowing in prayer...fancying bugs for food
Nebuchadnezzar is the cessation of all good
(Your relationship with your boyfriend)
intent on regicide
destroying my affinity for you like soldiers
ransacking the kings house, the temple, and looting all valuables
burning everything left behind

And I will not so easily let you go Jennifer!
I will not surrender
though my ideals cannot escape
being captured and discomfited in the plains of Jericho
my two sons are like pillars of all that is left of me (My pride and resolve)
Aggrieved in these last days, knowing
you will be married soon
and taken from me
But they are slain before me in Riblah
by your rejection of me
and I am put forever in chains to pessimism and remorse
my eyes are put out for me, no longer able to conjure images of you and me together
as your boyfriend leads me to Babylon


JENNIFER HOW CAN I LET YOU GO? HOW CAN I LIVE WITHOUT YOU?

Kristen Stewart, You Are My (Essential) Pack of Ravens


* Forget about R-Patz!!!! What about T-Contz!!!????


--------------[Kristen Stewart, You Are My (Essential) Pack of Ravens]


Love is like bread,
from your mouth,
especially when Im weak and fearful your
tenderness spreads its wings
and circles above my head, spies on me
supplies me with the strength I need
for my heart to keep beating, and to supplement my drinking
water in my cupped hands from the Kerith Ravine
is like my passion for you, baby
incomplete without meat

Kristen,
there will be neither dew nor rain
neither joy nor satiation
as long as Ahab (loneliness like a poison) reigns
and makes cursed love to Jezebel (spurned affection)
causing the land of my soul to die in the drought
of suspicious cynicism and dubious longings for
happiness with you
for I prophesy it isn't achievable without your consent
(to kiss me)
and your help

I have turned eastward and made my home
on the banks of flowing streams in the brook of hope
hiding in anticipation of you coming to me
dining on dreams of you in the morning
and musing on you in the evenings
because
because I'll starve without you girl,
and I'll die without you near
I need you, baby
please don't stop loving me
feeding me

(Kristen, forget Robert Pattinson! I need you more! You are like a swarm of ravens to me!)





-------------------------------1 Kings 17:1-5
Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, "As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word."
Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah: "Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan. You will drink from the brook, and I have ordered the ravens to feed you there." So he did what the LORD had told him. He went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there. The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.

Kid Cudi ft. Jesus Christ "Day and Night (Wilderness Remix)"


*Dedicated to Kid Cudi "Day and Night"

"Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom." - Proverbs 18:1


---------------[Jesus in the Wilderness, Soul Searching]



I used to feel like a loser
until I separated myself
introspection with locusts and wild honey
in harms way... dwelling amongst wild beasts
blood thirsty and cantankerous
riled by the crescent moons and chilled air
demons lurking to devour my sense of direction
and I had 40 days to turn stones to bread
40 days to worship pleasure and to
throw myself down from high places and kill the latent
dreams I harbored, making a clean break and walking away
but I rebuked those jealous voices inside –
rejection, despair, depression....desparation
with Words my father taught me long ago:
"never close your eyes with regret
rise each morning with resolve
save as many people from this selfsame destitution..."
and they dispelled the fear I had within, the voices of doubt
which shadowed me for the past 30 harried years,
and peace for me is akin to the sound of angel wings
comforting
in my barren desert of searching laid before me,
my robe billowing,
my purpose revealed


--------------------[Matthew 4:1-11]
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread." Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple."If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written:
" 'He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'"
Jesus answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'"
Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. "All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me." Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'" Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

Susanna's Cry - Daniel 13


*Deidicated to JayZ ft Kid Cudi, "Already Home"
*Dedicated to all my haters out there – don’t get too encouraged: you won't win!


And she weeping looked up to heaven, for her heart had confidence in the Lord."-----------------Susanna's Cry


Desires and dreams, disappointments and reality
failures
reaching but not grasping, yearning but not attaining
becoming callous, embittered – full of spite
but I am a daughter of Judah (not Israel)
of Helcias full of pride, scruples and discretion
will unbending, and faith unshakeable in a God who
doesn’t sleep, or ignore the call of those who fear Him
and I am a woman in a male oriented society
lacking your leverage and influence
yet refusing to be exploited
or to capitulate to your demands and your sinful eyes
and sullied old hands and perverse minds – you are like
wolves preying on the innocent
plotting on lambs innocently feeding and preening
licking your cracked, dry lips for blood
possessed by hedonism and nihilism...
you will not subjugate my mind before you attempt my body
for I would taste death before I taste your vile
interpretation of love
I will be blameless in the sight of the Lord
Your false accusations not withstanding
In my trials, my sorrow like a dark cloud encompassing the moon
there is hope
In your hatred you look to my hell
but in His love, God lifts my gaze to heaven
full of tears






---------“Already Home” Lyrics
Yeezy !!! Hova !!!
Let's Go
Yeezy !! Hova !!

[2X]
Love me or leave me alone
Either love me or leave me alone

[Chorus: Kid Cudi]
Ohhh, they want me to fall (fall)
Fall from the top (top)
They want me to drop (drop)
They want me to stop (stop)
They want me to gooo (goooo)
I'm already gone (already)
The s* that I'm onnn

[Jay-Z]
Hey, I'm already home
Hey I'm already home
Hey, I'm already home

[Chorus]

[Verse 1: Jay-Z]
These n* want me to go
Don't they know that I'm gone?
They know I'm space shuttle level
They need ox-y-g-g-g-gen
Don't they know that they borin'?
Don't they know that I yawn
Only time they excitin' is when they're mentionin' Shawn
You seen "Single White Female" when she dyed her hair blond?
Sometimes I look at these rappers, the movie remind me of them
Somebody turn these boys off
Don't they know that I'm on
Can't they see that it's foolish to try to kill me with songs?
WTF are they Lauryn? you "Killing Me Softly"
You talk me to death, only thing you could do to him
I opened the door for them, what else could I do?
These n* want me to walk for them
But somebody talk to them
before I go off on them...

[Chorus]

[Verse 2: Jay-Z]
I taught 'em 'bout fishscale, they want me to fish for them
They want me to catch, clean... and cook up the dish for them
All of this just for them or they got a diss for him
They want me to disappear, like it's gon' shift for them
They say that I'm in the way, they want me to sit for them
But what they admitting is, they ain't got s* for him
And really the fact is, we not in the same bracket
not in the same league, don't shoot at the same baskets
Don't pay the same taxes, hang with the same b*
So how am I in the way, what is it I'm missin'?
N* I been missin', n* I been gone
The shit that you just witnessin' end, I been on
And as for the critics, tell me I don't get it
Everybody could tell you how to do it, they never did it
Now these n* is mad, oh, they call me a camel
But I mastered the drought, what the f*, I'm an animal
Half man, half mammal
My sign is a Sag, this is just what I planned to do
Oh don't be maddddd

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I'm in the Hall already, on The Wall already
I'm a work of art, I'm a Warhol already
On another level, on another plane already
H-O-V, I got my own lane, already (already)
..I done cooked up "The Roc" already
So why the f* can't y'all get hot already? (already)
Put your name in the pot already
Niggas compare me with Biggie & 'Pac already (already)
