From the heart

Four black teens in Philadelphia with nothing other than weekly tranpasses and opinions. Still, the criticism and general interpretation seem to change from day to day regardless of aforementioned teens consistency.

Whatever. We're not doing anyone some terrible injustice, and we don't claim to be changing the world or enlightening the folk beyond belief or recognition. Credences, food for thought, images, a few laughs here and there, and opinions are all that we can offer you. Whether you choose to accept or decline, you are here, as are we, daily.

To face the rain or sunshine, parade or riot, cookout or Saturday detention..We ride Septa.

Due for Love Benefit Show: Mission Statement

You and I are both due for love.
The fact that neither of us struggles for a meal makes us due for love.
The fact that we might go here and there to half heartedly chase an education that others would kill for makes us due for love.
The fact that you are able to read this without consequence or struggle makes us due for love.
But what does it mean to be due for love? In America most of us live and are free solely to pursue happiness, to chase
our dreams. What we forget is that everything that has been bestowed upon us (clothing, money, education, brilliance, creativity, and talent) are gifts from
whomever above it is that we choose or neglect to praise. Regardless of race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation, we are all due for love.
Being due for love stretches past the borders of any One Country, and any one Person.
Everyone is due for love because, there is always someone in need of love.

As we are loved, we must love our brothers and sisters near and a far. Being due for love does not mean to become a martyr or a saint, but to DO what one can.

Pay your dues by reaching out a helping hand, by offering words of wisdom, by donating to just causes, by standing up for what is right.
Tomorrow isn't promised, the next hour isn't promised. We are due for love NOW.

What will you do for love?- Lucid Epicure
