FEAR and POWER

went to the district 6 museam this morning, it was an area of cape town where different races lived together happily until the SA government decied it should be a "white area" and told everyone to leave to townships and buldozzed the whole area to the groud!!! really horrible aparteid stuff, it hit me pretty heavily when the guy who used to live there said the police would have beaten him up just for looking at a white girl... why does this happen why did the christian churches provided a "biblical backup" for it?
seems to be a mixture of power hunger and fear, people wanting power and to retain it will pretty much do anything to a people group they see as a threat, i.e. fear. hitler, sectarianism all bad stuff that humans do...

makes me think what horrors the church is supporting, or maybe a total apathy towards aids and the treatment of the third world is what the next generations will look back at and say "how could they honestly call themselves followers of Christ?"

on an aside saw the matrix 2 last night on a IMAX 5 story high screen (oh yes) and bought some chilled out house and drum and base from local djs

sorted out for a dakka and whizz

just about finnished the house today, did a wee bit of celtic rope work above a window in carving into cement with a pointy stick :) also went to see where the new home owner, Cordilla lives currently in a much harsher bit of the township, pretty dismal, i was one of the few went and was there to take photos so i was just looking for shots not really thinking about what i was seeing, pretty heavy, no electricity or running water, corrigated iron and cardboard for walls, it doesnt get much worse....
but not feeling to bad think i will come back to capetown after the weekend and build with some americans, cause its what i feel is the plan more than just travelling for the sake of it.
met some cool students and went out with them on friday night, good craic but crap music, teenage yank rock seemed to be the standard!!!!!

HOUSE BUILIDING LEGEND
alright whoever is reading hope your doing well, i am having a great time here in capetown, have almost completely build a house in 4 days!!! walls roof and all hand mixing the duga or cement (granada stylee) seen and eaten osterich, also seen some truly breath takin sights and once again i find the concept of this being random evolvedness ridculous,
and as psalm 127 says "If the Lord doesnt build the house, the builders work for nothing"

6am come to soon these days but a least you can watch the sunrise to over the sleepy city with Dj Marky providing an awesome sound track

been increadably blessed with money in the last week, through the inland revenue and ballynahinch baptist i recieved over £600 last week !!!!!
praise the Lord, it just goes to show you can't out give God, even the tiny amout of tithin leads to bigtime blessing

take er easy

A law unto Yourself

a law unto yourself
doing it my way
come along for the ride baby
if you dont like it
i dont want to hear it

the church stabs itself in the back
as the world laughs
busy crucifing gaymen
but who's excorcising the demons
loving the shemans
being Christ in this cold dark place

a law unto yourself
endless pleasure in a consequence free enviroment
till you drop 6 feet
and rot away to be part of it

the beautiful races
lookin good powdered noses chewin faces
dont stop till you get enough
i already seen enough
everybody trying to get to that place
where it dont hurt not more
where they feel happy some more
cant you see your treatin your body like a whore?

a law unto yourself
but how do you tackle this
I know lets go to church and forget about it
in a fake cosy bliss

but our cows earn more than the people
and the man who toils in a coffee field
cant send his kids to school
this world is broken who can fix this
J-e -s-u-s C-h-r i-s-t
know well to you and me
but kept secret cause
we dont even believe it

we're a law unto ourselves
