DEATH

We cater to death's appetite
We seek ways to satisfy death:
Hang them; shoot them; 
Gas them; blow 'em up.
Throw them from a tenth floor 
    window to see that is 
    high enough for them to die.
Death is so fascinating. 

Fire up the armaments factories!
Pass out the guns.
(Death is still hungry.)

Burn them; drown them;
Stomp them; starve them.
Put them in chains
    and see how long
    it takes for death to feed.
Fascinating.

My dear cousin, I’m sitting here at my home in California with my eldest brother Tico and the mention of your name enlightened the environment instantaneously. A wonderful rush of memories and emotions rushed over my spirit. I explained to him how the very reason I have written and produced every film that I have is due to YOU. The impact and influence that you had over me as a child was immense. Your unbelievable ability to create and organize thoughts and words into impeccable poetry seared its way into my soul and I have been writing my entire life because of your powerful influence. I never got the chance to tell you this but now I am able to say THANK YOU! The gift of passion for the written word and the meanings behind the arrangements of them will be my companion until I take my last breath. I pray that you are well and I now know how I’m able to pick up where I left off with my inspirational TEACHER. Much love fam! Wesley A Carter

Yo Man, and don't forget about payday - that's right, it's ultimately the highest pay possible for iniquitous work! "The WAGES of sin is DEATH, but the gift of GOD is eternal life in CHRIST JESUS our LORD." (Romans 6:23)...Keep Bangin' Cuz!
Peace,
Tico
