Lord, listen!
Lord, forgive!
Lord, hear and act!
For your sake,
my God,
do not delay,
because your city
and your people
bear your Name.

Theme For An Imaginary Western

In the end it bites like a snake
and poisons like a viper.
Your eyes will see strange sights,
and your mind will imagine confusing things.
You will be like one sleeping on the high seas,
lying on top of the rigging.
~ Proverbs 23

“I am not insane, most excellent Festus”

You will bear the consequences
of your lewdness
and your detestable practices,
declares the LORD.

And he said unto them,
"Go."
And when they were out,
they went into the herd of swine...

Now pray for me.”

Our gods are assholes

PHLASH: nation of midgets

the arts in America today are above all else. Successful artists live like gods. They are REMOTE and useless. the painting and sculpture generally on offer ranges from coy & cute to incomprehensible & huge. Everybody's sick of it, but it's exactly what it's patrons deserve. These people are corrupt and frigid. America today is a nation of midgets led by dwarves. The midgets are small and normal. The dwarves are small and warped. The sickness comes from the top down.

The 'music' is mostly 60's and 70's rehash, esp. LED ZEPPELIN, who i never could stand in the first place. Also 'folk-rock' is back as 'alternative'. gimme a break. the 'bands' dress this mess up in various 'HIP' clothes and 'political' postures to encode a 'lock' on social belonging which you can open by purchasing a combination of products, especially their own, none of them have fuck-all to say.

I hate the inane worship of gross 'supermodels' and i positively loathe Calvin Klein ads and that whole school of photography. it is not beautiful. Our gods are assholes.

There are continual 'shock and rage' movements in the performing/conceptual arts, but are they bringing anybody a good time? they bring filth death & loathing of self as fashion. I understand them, though. People are lost and frustrated, AND UNSKILLED.

Our country is stupid and degenerate. Nobody is here. People are starving. No one talks to you. No one comments. You are cut off. No one is straight. TV morons. A revolution is coming, and in reaction, a strongman will emerge. Everything sucks. Don't bother me.

i hate it all. heavy metal. hollywood movies. SCHPOLOOGY! YeHEHCHH!

The Oscillating Overthruster of the Apocalypse

¹ Why do the nations conspire
and the peoples plot in vain?
² The kings of the earth rise up
and the rulers band together
against the LORD
and against his anointed, saying,
³ “Let us break their chains
and throw off their shackles.”

⁴ The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.
⁵ He rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
⁶ “I have installed my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.”

⁷ I will proclaim the LORD’s decree:

He said to me, “You are my son;
today I have become your father.
⁸ Ask me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.
⁹ You will break them with a rod of iron-
you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”

¹⁰ Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.
¹¹ Serve the LORD with fear
and celebrate his rule with trembling.
¹² Kiss his son, or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

~ Psalm 2

Prohibition Blues

Hannah was praying in her heart,
and her lips were moving
but her voice was not heard.
Eli thought she was drunk, and said to her,
“How long are you going to stay drunk?
Put away your wine.”
“Not so, my lord,” Hannah replied,
“I am a woman who is deeply troubled.
I have not been drinking wine or beer;
I was pouring out my soul to the LORD.
Do not take your servant for a wicked woman;
I have been praying here
out of my great anguish and grief.”
Eli answered, “Go in peace,
and may the God of Israel
grant you what you have asked of him.”
~ 1 Samuel 1

Because of the increase of wickedness,
the love of most will grow cold,
but the one who endures to the end
will be saved.

Crazy.

But the Pharisees said,
“It is by the prince of demons
that he drives out demons.”
