Honestly was trying to avoid another devil story and try to bring it back to the theme of love, but I just had to listen to Nina Simone- Sinner Man, and my hands just started shaking to her voice and the song's rhythm.
I'd like to think it was based off that song (well, parts of it is), but I just finished up watching a documentary "I Am" which reflects on the questions: What's wrong with our world? and What can we do to make it better? Fantastic documentary. A must watch, and I won't say anything else, just because I don't think I'm capable of finding the right words to explain how it's changed my perception of happiness.
Enjoy.

02/05/2014 (Wednesday)- Oughta be Praying
I died yesterday
turned away at the pearly gates
they said:
my
sins were too long
my
sins I started too young
of course,
I never did stop sinning
oh, yeah, my blood
was boiling
you
didn’t hear me praying, lord?
you
didn’t hear me needing, lord?
of
course,
I
don’t blame you.
you probably didn’t see me
praying
you probably couldn’t hear my
crying
‘cause
everyone down here
all we do is pray and cry.
we meek walking these beggar-streets—
—hungry, thirsty,
poor, mourning our fates
so I ran to the devil,
He was waiting
just
another sinner praying...
