"INTRO ~ What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be human?

I cannot help but suspect that at one time in the history of thinking

That people believed that it meant that we were spiritual and that we

Could make choices and were capable of aspiring to higher ideals...

Like maybe loyalty or maybe faith... or maybe even love.

But now we are told by people who think they know that we vary from

Amoeba only in the complexity of our makeup and not in what we

Essentially are. They would have us think as Dysart said that we are

Forever bound up in certain genetic reigns - that we are merely products

Of the way things are and not free - not free to be the people who make

Them that way. They would have us see ourselves as products so that

We could believe that we were something to be made - something to

Be used and then something to be disposed of. Used in their wars -

Used for their gains and then set aside when we get in their way.

Well who are they? They are the few who sit at the top of the heap -

Dung heap though it is - and who say it is better to reign in Hell than

To serve in Heaven. Well I do not know that we can have a Heaven

Here on earth but I am sure we need not have a Hell either.

What does it mean to be human? I cannot help but believe that it means

We are spiritual - that we are responsible and that we are free - that

We are responsible to be free."

"When I was back in high school

They said boy try and make some sense

Grow up and be a consumer

And not a dissident

Don't worry 'bout the system

Just watch out for yourself

It sounded just like the wisdom

That comes straight out of Hell

They said (shut up) don't make no ripples

(Shut up) don't raise no stink

I heard so much of their drivel

It's a wonder I can think

Don't give me that

I want the truth

Don't say for fact

What is only point of view

Don't give me that

I've had enough

We best get back to what was written

In the in the Book of love

Well when I went to college

They said boy get this straight

You're just a tailless monkey

You're a hairless ape

We're on a scary evolutionary stairway

Who knows where

Trusting higher education

To get us all there

There ain't no values no morals

There's no rights and no wrongs

Never knowing where we're going

Well it's hard to go wrong

Don't give me that

I want the truth

Don't say for fact

What is only your point of view

Don't give me that

I've had enough

We best get back to what was written

In the in the in the Book of love

(Higher)

(Higher)

(Higher education and the Book of Love)

When I came to my senses

At the foot of the cross

I saw the wisdom that comes

From the fear of God

How it is pure it loves peace

It's full of mercy and good fruit

It had the power to free me

The power of the truth

Like a setting of silver

On an apple of gold

Is a word aptly spoken

Is the truth clearly told

Now give me that

'Cause that's the truth

It's bigger than fact

It's broader than your point of view

Now give me that

Can't get enough

When we get back to what was written

In the in the Book of love

Now give me that

'Cause that's the truth

It's bigger than fact

It's broader than your your point of view

Now give me that

Can't get enough

When we get back to what was written

In the in the Book of love

Higher education and the Book of Love

Higher education and the Book of Love

Higher education and the Book of Love

Higher education and the Book of Love

Higher education and the Book of Love"
