Release the Beast: Profanity Is a Curse

Are you weary and bothered by hearing words that hurt your ears and heart? Well, I guess that I am amongst many people that do feel this way, and know that profanity is a curse. Many people use and throw about God’s name in vain. In my personal point of view, I am literally so sick and tired of hearing the word *GD used so casually, whether it be while I am in the company of a family member, or friend. The movie industry has also promoted the use of this word - like it is some type of fashion or trend. The use of this inconsiderate word *GD sets a bad example to all youth world wide.

What is even more disturbing, may be confronting people, friends, and family members about the use of this word, and how it is offensive to many people. When these people are confronted about this very offensive word, they often claim that they would stop speaking this vile word, only if their mouth would prevent them from saying the word *GD.
This without a doubt is a double standard pertaining to using God's name in vain.

It does seem quite ridiculous that any person who continually use profane language would blame it on their mouth, and not their heart.

The anatomy of words are a gift from God, these are ways all human beings communicate, bound by the logical law of God's infinite wisdom.

Release the beast - is what Satan works into the heart of people who speak and use profanity on a continuous basis. There is never any good news in using profanity, and never should it be tolerated at any time, due to the contagious nature of the words itself.

When rappers, entertainers, and the movie industry treat profanity as a casual temperament, it is no wonder why the morality of our present society world wide is declining day by day.

How can we release the beast of profanity from our life? More so, how can we abolish the use of profanity from our everyday lives?

The next few passages, links, and text will reflect on how many people on the www.worldwideweb/ search and view on profanity. Yes, indeed we live in a turbulent time, where all human kind need to make concretive choices in abstaining from using profanity.

The anatomy of words are constantly speaking from the inner recess of our heart, and as adults we should do what is necessary not to expose our children to the negative world of profanity.

A most wonderful tribute to the human connection dealing in moral ethics - is a website I found while browsing the World Wide Web. While searching for people and organizations that teach the use of profanity is a curse, and we should be careful to choose the words we speak, due to the fact they do reflect upon our intellect. The use of profanity is a sin against our very nature.

The www.humanmedia.org/ is a wonderful website that all young adults should become affiliated, as they will learn invaluable life skill lessons dealing with moral ethics.

As we walk through this life, we need to have respect for each other, and abstain from using profanity at all times.

I know this may seem impossible, but it is an attainable reality, something that can be achieved by working at it each and everyday. Although I will never be like Jesus, I will strive constantly to pray for those people who work towards removing profane thoughts from their hearts. Grace be unto God the creator of all things, and to all of my friends and family, have a great and prosperous day.

The Journey of This Life

The innocent martyrs of this time walk the earth

of a past littered with lies and deceit.

Weary and tired are we..,-the consumers of this time.

If any human being becomes inflexible to compromise for the greater good of all mankind – then the beauty of constant change becomes an ugly war where honesty will never reveal her true self.

The Quiet Death

My mother entered this life jumping and shouting

All awhile she was learning of womanhood.

Her rattling bones lived with full of heart,

And all awhile she managed to become magnificent

For a day or two.

Her human engine lived

With full heart, and there was no indifference

Of whom she was, no doubt

Of the patronizing cancer,

An automatic death.

The city of calm death

Worked the contamination into her rattling bones,

Bones that was too weary

To fight the quiet death.

My mother entered this life jumping and shouting,

And all awhile lying on the medical damned bed

She told me of a dream

She had.., - a dream of a place

Where pain is a conceived fear

Not relieved by the quiet death.

The Sex Demons

The mind of the dying day has scattered

One thousand or more children

To the wind of tomorrow.

It is not an unusual day, it is more so

A time where the taming of the

Shrewd silence has been broken

By the most disturbed spirit,

A spirit lingering in agony.

The child molester tired energy

Becomes a blood-lust

Of unwitting natural desires,

And their heart has no shame

Because they have forgotten and buried

Their own care-free childhood,

A past that has no mercy.

The sex demons possess their soul

Day and night, their wild unnatural imaginings

Are their maiden voyage

To that unknowing death

Where the children will smile no more,

And there will be no fairy tales in their time.

The mind of the dying spirit

Knows no good, they are blinded by their rage,

Living in an almost innocent tale..,-

Living in-between here and there,

Awaking from an angry nightmare 

Reliving the bloodthirsty dream

Over and over, and over.

The kiss of death they visualize

Like an hysterical mad man

Searching for that natural desire

The appeasement of ignorant acceptance.

The Nigerian Slaughter House

A very distant week or so ago the mad beast

Ran wild screaming and cheering about

The blood-lust that over took their soul,

And Satan agreed that to be pure and free

Is to slaughter the innocent men, women

And children – silence the innocent voices

Of tomorrow. The mad men

Armed them selves with machetes, hatchet blades

And other killing machines

To make sure death would be permanent

And swift. Half the sun was covered with heartbreaking blood,

And the Nigerian town’s people wept,

And as their tears fell to the blooded earth,

A cheer came from the mad men

And said we are the chosen one,

And one Nigerian man

Whom was cut and bruised  

From head to toe..,-asked God

To forgive all of the mad beast,

And God answered the Nigerian man’s plea

From the vast universe – fear not,

The innocent shall be remembered

From this day forth

And they will walk with me

Until eternity remembers them

As stars that light the universe

A billion times past the arms of infinity.

The Anatomy of Words

The astounding world of words have been around from the time before mankind was created, and when God the originator of all things infinite created man and woman, this gift he gave unto his creation to communicate the celebrated pattern of words. Between what is here and now, mankind has had a impassioned love affair with words, and it does not matter if you are a English scholar, or an everyday person, like it or not, the anatomy of words surround each and every person on this earth, but, it is up to each person to learn to love words, or just to accept words as ordinary things that do not matter very much.

The great harvest of words are like dreams that wake the sleeping mind – as if we recreate each and everything which connects us and the universe beyond the anatomy of a word.

Words are not just about definitions, words also play a big part in mathematical equations, and word problems. The definition of a morpheme (mor’fem’) according to The American Heritage Dictionary of English Language – Third Edition: Linguistics. A meaningful linguistic unit consisting of a word, such as man, or a word element, such as –ed in walked, that cannot be divided into smaller meaningful parts.

This meaning poses a very powerful testament about the organization of words, and how they complement each other, and just like mathematical equations, poetry falls directly and indirectly into the definition “of a word or word element. Even though much of poetry is somewhat abstract in nature, the words are divided up “into smaller meaningful parts.”

Morphemics can be classified and listed fewer than two categories; the description, and classification of morphemes, which is the study of words, and the morphemic intricate structure of a language. Not only do words have significant meanings, but words resemble every facet of the human intellect. Global studies have found that any child can be taught to learn and comprehend the English language as early as one year of age. It is also a proven fact of in-depth intense scientific study – that young children are more adept to learn another language – even if it is not the original language from their birth-right.

Even though words can be micro-managed, the traditional language of words derives from many ancient archaic texts. According to The American Heritage Dictionary of The English Language, the meaning of a word is described as “a sound or combinations of sounds, or its representation in writing, printing, that symbolizes and communicates a meaning and may consist of a single morpheme or a combination of morphemes.”

Still, what is quite amazing; the word itself is quoted so many times within a sentence or a quote, in a word mathematical equation, which it would seem redundant for the word to appear in the same context – referring to the meaning and the direction of language itself.

The Anatomy of an Idea

Most ideas come from the most of unlikely places. Sometimes an idea is like entering into a daydream – unfolding into the reality of a world itself before it is even recognized – as it has always existed. Quote and Photograph by Alfonso Coley - All Rights Reserved"

The Anatomy of a Word

In every language a word is connected to another word, this simple – yet complex relation is how human kind relates to one another. And so, we should be extra careful to treat words as children that mature into wonderful things we grow to love.
