The Magashocky

By Stafford Battle

Electric vibes crank smooth God blaze,

Miles Horn is smoking a plunky plume,

No cotton, no ditches, no sweaty highways,

Shango is zipping a thunderous swoon.

“My friend, be  calculated  crossing the street,

Squares screech, masked madness  stings;

Metal bars, crooked laws, political freaks,

Black, brown, yellow, red lists crash righteous bings.”

With cautious critique, my friend glocked his glands,

Piercing carefully to scream redacted fans;

Danger, danger, hooded whackers leap!

Flaring flags, paddy posts, vicious votes, bland beats!

Malcom, Martin, Marcus, Marion, many more,

Set aflame sweet super shaft salacious score;

The Shock is subdued, yet merely asleep,

Dig, dig deeper for reconstruction bleep.

“Hurray, hurray, we won one Great day.

Now, you know the Magashocky, my friend;

The roar of ancestral waves cascades within;

But always obstacles nova our way.”

Electric vibes crank smooth God blaze,

Miles Horn is smoking a plunky plume,

No cotton, no ditches, no sweaty highways,

Shango is zipping a thunderous swoon.

Beware the rise of the  Magashocky.

Start a Fight on the Block: Compare Religion to Mythology

This is a video version of a recent post on Substack. I hope we all can be open-minded. I did not intend to offend anyone. The lyrics of my video are listed here. Note: This is AI-assisted. Let me know what you think.

“The Words”

You wanna start a fight on the block?
Say religion and sci-fi walk the same walk.

Say, Jesus and Deadpool got the same arc—
Resurrection. Redemption. Revolution to the dark.

Samson swingin’ heavy like Hercules’ twin,
Moses got tricks with a snake and a grin.

Superman flyin’ through Earth’s heavy pull—cool.
Noah's boat packed tighter than any space module.

Sci-fi fiction makes us feel real.
Religion nonfiction teaches to heal.

Brother Voodoo took Doc Strange’s place,
Big-headed ancestors peer from deep space.

Galileo prayed, yet, still focused his lens,
Star Trek fans, NASA budgets defend.

We all know the questions never end,

It’s basic belief—fact and fiction blend.

Read what you need to feel whole.
From gospel to gamma rays, seek the real soul.

We need holy saints and superheroes…

Divine or imagined -- let it all unfold.

Wakanda forever.

God bless America!

Amen.

Sinners: The Best Movie that Ever Happened to America and the World

 

This is the movie that you must see if you like being entertained and enlightened simultaneously.  The Twins are awesome. Michael B Jordan is a fantastic actor.  The story begins in the 1930s racist American South, which has not really changed that much.  Go to rural Mississippi and experience how people of color are treated today in a state that has been characterized as one of the poorest and undereducated in the nation perhaps the world.

But the story is not just about racism. There are many deeper layers. Music, history, and religion are just a few of the concepts explored. The fantastic, horrific, and spiritual elements burst on the big screen. Eyes wide open are required for this cinematic presentation.  Read the awesome Wikipedia post.
