A Song for Mexico-Sirocco

October 23, 2006

Joel Akin

For all time. For all people. For all things and places. For all the people that were, will be or are. I speak. But not with tongues of men, of angels, of animal or of beast. But with the simple pleasure of the things God shares with me. I was a man buffeted by Sin. I fell into Sins grasp and was lost to the ways of men. I felt the turmoil that comes with desire and the pain that comes from rejection. I felt pain like no other man who has lived. Not in the bases of men’s heart or men’s lies but in the head. The head is the part of the body which is the heart base to the sole. From the sole to the head there is a story which is the story of men.

 Now if I wished to speak of desire I would speak of love. And if I spoke of love I would speak of things I loved. People I knew and stories I had experienced. But as a man of desire I speak to a people who I know little of. I speak to the people of the East Wind.

The East Wind is risen up for the latter days that it might speak its song to the people of Mexico. They carry on it their lament, their sorrow, their tales and with it they carry their hearts. Upon it they shine and it shines for them and from that shine it carries their light from border to border.

Yet the East Wind is a spirit we will call Sirocco. Sirocco is a spirit that rise up from the West but not the West which is of men but the end which is of Time. Time is part of the spiritual curse which rises up with men of the east. And men of the east are caught in his name and he carries them to his brother death. And Death seeks out the stranger that he might carry them to the grave. Yet I, as a man, speak to you with care. For as a man I know that words can hinder or help a nation. That nation can rise or fall if the words are inspired by God. For if God speaks then nations listen. And in these words I speak to you Mexico that you might here.

If we wish to speak to a nation we must know that the Heart is the part of the nation where the blood is. The blood is the pride of the nation and it is what gives that nation spark, fire, life and liberty. If the pride of the nation is Sin then the spark of the fire burns the heart with anger. If we rise up to challenge that pride then the men of that nation must rise up only with the tools they own. And if those tools are built upon the fire then they are built upon the things of spirit. But if they are built from the earth and from the stone and from the wood then they are built with hands. But if the fire we speak of is built on the things that burn up the work of the hand then those things are carried into the pit and are forgotten.

Every spirit that speaks to a nation are the spirits that were founded upon the roles of that nation. Roles are parts a spirit plays. Some are territorial. Some are of the heart. Some are based on works. Yet there are others based on desire. Desire is part of spirit that desires to rise up so that the pride of the heart becomes more than just the pride of a nation.

This results in a spirit that carries with these men to ride upon the wind. If the wind of the heart is dry, as is Sirocco, then the spirit we deal with is of pain and suffering. One must understand that every spirit that speaks does not speak with the authenticity of the spirit that would bring life to men or a nation. If the spirit that speaks speaks to the heart and that spirit is Sirocco then the heart becomes dry.

When a heart becomes dry that heart seeks out something called greener lines. Greener lines are those things which are culled from memory, heritage or ideas heard upon the cry of the heart. If the cry of the heart is for more then the desire of the heart is for more. If the heart cries for more then the cry of that heart becomes the desire that drives a man. And what drives a man is not the desire of men but the desire of the spirit that drives the man. For the Spirit of Sirocco is a Spiritual Curse that rises out of the Earth when a land turns its back on God. As such it rises up to take men into its plan and into its desire. It is a spirit that rises up in a time when men are hungry. Hunger of men isn’t of the flesh but of the heart.

The heart is the part of men that refuses to submit. It is the part of the spirit that rises up to destroy. That which we call the spirit of men is the part of the spirit that destroys. The spirit we call of God is the part of the spirit that rises up to counter. To counter means to take the spirit and break it. If the Sirocco spirit is called upon a nation and that nation submits to it then there is a spirit called Dryness that hits that nation. They become a desert land and the desert land strips men from the land. This means they seek out the green line. The green line is a place of the mind where men seek it so they might find hope.

If there is a story that must be told it is the one of the heart. This is the reason a nation rises and falls. If the nation is of God it will stand. If it is of self it will fall. The nation of Mexico is tied by the string of the heart to her neighbor. If that neighbor looks green then the heart is stored. Stored means built up so that the heart looks pure. And if the heart looks pure then the store that is there looks good. And if the store looks good it is built. But if the store of the heart is built on sorrow and love of money there is a root which rises into the heart and that is the one thing that will destroy a nation.

Some nations have a heart built on desire of love. The desire of love is to give your neighbor a helping hand. This is the case in the heart of America. She loves Mexico and loves her people and loves her food. This is not evil. This is the one thing I saw in my dream. I saw the Sirocco Steak House. It represented a busy restaurant in the Gringo section. But there were culprits further down the street who shanghaied men and stole their wallets and beat them senseless. They were laid out to rest for what little they had.

If we as America are ignorant of our neighbor and his heart then we are ignorant of their desire. They lay in wait, as a dry heart, and they lay in wait because that dry heart is not of God. Now if this is a word for Mexico, and it is, then I have to test all things to see if they are of God. But if I speak as an American then I must speak as a voice of America. Some may think this is foolish but it is of God. And God does test all things as do I. And if there is a line out of order then I must repair it with prayer or wait for God to show me how to wait. For waiting is one of the hardest things that I do as a Christian.
