About me - Zachariah Langley

A place where everything and nothing makes sense is a sentence I've kept with me for a lot of years. Here lately it's making a lot of sense. I tend to go off on rants easily, and find it hard why others don't do the same.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Near death: 16 of 57
We're near Death all the time. From beginning to the end. It's never been a matter of "if". Just a matter of "how" and "when". I've thought about taking Death's job, and stopping my time myself. But God stepped in and humbled me, like God does everyone else. "It's not your job, you don't cheat, steal, or rob. You're a pretty... More..

Looking back on a cool clear night I wonder why I pushed to fight Long and hard my road has been Too ahead to see the beginning, and too far back to see the end Eyes like stained glass is the way I see my fortune A piece here and there, but nothing's ever certain My window's still a long way from done Waiting for the m...

It ain't easy being a ghost. I mean, being anything can be a real drag, but being a ghost ain't all they said it would be. Ok, maybe I messed up. I saw the light. Beautiful, bright light. A beach!

Right now I believe I'm being tested. So are you. Is it right that a government can send our friends and family to some God forsaken hell hole but I can't write the word f*ck in a newspaper editorial to be seen. I'm not saying the word in a context to which a child might see it, and if they do just so happen to see this word ... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Living with depression: 53 of 182
What do you do? Hell, what can you do. The first day, it isn't too bad. It's almost like you've got a cold. Slight body ache, but no temperature, so you ignore it. The next day is a little more than the first. You try to put on a plastic smile and a face that'll go good with a dinner party, but something's eating at you, and ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues Who put the hate In Christianity: 18 of 60
A lot of people want to know where the hate came from in Christianity, and before that can be answered, let's ask "why" there is hate in Christianity. Honestly, you've got me on that one when in Matthew 5:44 it reads: But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those that persecute you. That means any enemy you have you ar... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues Who goes to heaven and who goes to hell: 12 of 40
Honestly I can't answer this without looking at a few things, like, what might your concept of Heaven and Hell be? Seems to me also the words "righteous" and "wicked" can sometimes be attributed to the same person, and what you find bad or good is always a matter of perspective.

The man sits on the edge of the balcony overlooking the city and looks out. Lightning flashes across the sky as the wind picks up. He breathes in deep, closing his eyes, and exhales.. feeling the coming storm. Another man comes out onto the balcony with him and can feel his tension. "Is there anything wrong?" his helper asks....

Walking into the store, Rob gives me that look.. and I immediately know what he's going to get. "Not Natti Ice, man," I say as he pulls out a twelve pack of Natural Ice marked at $5.99. "Look.. it's cheap, and it's 5.9% alcohol," he say shutting the cooler door. Several steps, and a few crusty one dollar bills later, and we'r... More..
