Dear World, Well wishers, Haters, Kit and Kin, friends I made,  and enemies that loved to hate Me, "Good-bye, I'm gone. I'm TIDE (Tired). For whatever reason a wo/man named martha jane walters birthed Me, and many, many more , just to torture and make her punching bags, footstools , dung under the bottom of her shoe. No, s/he was never a good person.  As a matter of fact, that s/he devil was always the exact opposite of what s/he very successfully convinced the world s/he was. I don't care how many people hate and shun Me for attempting to warn this world about the likes of such vermin; "It is what it is!"  My birthER , martha jane walters came to this good Earth and volunteered to become an original THOT (That Hoe Out There). I AM NOT ASHAMED! Only by the Grace of My GOD, My Jesus I escaped her clutches embedded deep in my skin for Sixty-two Years ! BEAMING! No cloaking and lying for demons , dead or alive ova'here!

Yes, it's Me again LORD up early, Thanking You for Your Tender Mercies for saving Me from A MONGREL! A sub-hue man, Homemade Beast! A two-legged Viper A whole Maggot! satan's sidepiece! Nothing but carnal waste planted on this good Earth to vex and destroy the righteous That is what that ole witch did for EVER While the low whore is indeed DEAD,  her Unrepented, Unrecognized EVIL is still in full affect So? No weapon formed against Me has ever prospered! No lie can live forever, nor can the deep fear and terror that old stank 'hoe established Why? Why mathy jane? Why did you choose to live such a despicable revolting life then try and force Me from the grave to Shut up NO!  It is NOT going to happen "Because it is written" No I am NOT destroyed! Your lecherous, carnal, sadistic, pathological lying ass shall NOT get away YOU and your kind shall be known, In the "Mean Time" just continue to ROT! BEAMING!

No, I don't beg anyone's pardon; you can hear Me or pretend to not understand me. Yes, you can join in laughing at My excruciating pain. But, what shall you gain? That Horrid mathy jane slithered on this good Earth for Eighty-seven years , Eleven months and twenty-three days, unable to hold her head up. A complete imp, reduced to doning sheep's clothing, clerical garb, just to fool the foolish. Ashamed of Herself!  Yes, the dummy ******* around and destroyed Herself.  Everything that fallen wo/men tried to do to Me, did BACKFIRE! Why? Pride! Could Not and would Not be wrong. Plus, s/he was a BULLY! Extremely clamorous and violent , when it suited her.  Sweet as a Honey Comb when it served her.  Wishy-washy, violent, impulsive but NEVER a child of GOD. Too jealous, envious, sadistic, immoral and putrid, though. Why? Ridiculous!  Why? NO ONE WOULD EVER STAND UP TO HER.  It didn't matter if you did.  You were going to get  cussed the **** out, cursed, SCREAMED AT, Openly h

Well , We are "Here", finally a day of reckoning. No, there is no excuse for any family allowing, permitting, tolerating, excusing, cloaking,  for any wo/man,  as immoral, treacherous,  and demon possessed , as My birthER, martha jane walters. World, worse than that wo/man being ridiculously, extremely cruel, sadistic, carnal, common and just NASTY!  s/he volunteered! satan never sent for her lying, lazy, immoral ass.  That piece of vermin, closet viper, sought satan, hunted the mutha*********** down like the ravenous dog s/he was!  And dared anybody to ******** try and stop her. World, mathy was Legion and Legion was LOOSE! People, I can't help if that low life volunteer never came to repentance.  Don't blame Me, don't hate Me! It is called Consequences! KARMA! JUSTICE! Relief for those s/he made "Fatherless", twice.  A ravenous wolf that Refused to know the LORD Jesus Christ in the pardoning of her sins. That is her loss. I know the slut was as common

Up early Rejoicing, again!  Praise the LORD! BEAMING! Marked safe from the dead , demonic hands of My birthER, martha jane walters,  a poor fallen wo/man the victim of her own greed, extreme ignorance, envy and jealousy for Eighty-Eight YEARS. A low, volunteer imp that died cursing the righteous, bragging that s/he alone had successfully mocked GOD, got away with committing  atrocity , after  sick, sadistic, savage atrocity for NINE DECADES!

No, he was never too busy, and yes , he let me vent.  Why?  He was honest. He never had to resort to manipulative "head games". He never tried to guilt train Me into silence.  He NEVER said so much , NEVER so much as insinuated , what all of my relatives and friends have indicated, and tried to force upon Me, all my life.  "Why can't you just shut the ****up?"  "Why can't you let by-gones be by-gones?"  Why can't you pretend that low life, demon possessed, vile, incestuous pedophile was a good person, an ordained minister?"  "WHY CAN"T YOU JUST FORGET IT?"  "Why does anyone

Some poor child's daddy, while being a secret Dick loving promiscuous 'hoe. You can't successfully do both, you damn idiot. I hope you were worth the **** to your many, many, many "lovers". You weren't **** to Me, you piece of ****! If you are so  Brave, so Smart, so "Light-Skin-da-did", why are you such a ****ing loser? Why do people still have to lie and cloak for your sorry ass?

I graduated with honors trying to prove to this horrid World skin color doesn't matter. It didn't work. I got crucified for my brilliance.
