I’m Gen X. That damn song is practically the anthem of my generation. And it’s been updated with this cover. It breaks my heart. But it is so freaking right.
Serena decided to do a book similar to my own Anthology Alumni. Hers is all short stories. She chose not to include the ones that are pieces of extended stories.
If you are interested here is the link. It is due to release September 22.
Second, she is going to be working on a 3rd poetry volume. We will let you know when it is available… but here is the cover for it….
And if you have not gotten it…her second one, Blood Red Rain is out for preorder with an August 25 release date.
Love thy neighbor, right? Or is it only if they’re Rich, able-bodied, cis, hetero and white? I’m starting to think this lord of yours is overrated If he made you in his image Must’ve been real inebriated
Preacher preaching rubbish Rambling, condemning sodomy Vocal variation of an awfully botched lobotomy Scream about the gays And how you wish you could exterminate ’em Jesus would’ve hated the way you’ve portrayed him

I found this when I was driving. It definitely caught me by surprise. I don’t normally push any idea that has a hate filled message and this one has some…but it also has a lot of truth to it too. Hate seems to flow through everything anymore and I am so very tired of it. Jesus is portrayed as someone by the bible who would have been happy to sit with the gays, and the theys. But the modern media portrayal is one that has him hating everything not christian. It hurts my heart. We are all human. So kindness should be the thing that we default to.
