Avalanches in the name of God (An abecedarian) - Pascal
Avalanches of pessimism
overturning
beatitude in the name of Holy
provocation,
creating forbearers of
honeyed lies.
Decimals splattered onto the
canvas of
Erudite mensches who gather
together and
follow herds of black and
grey, while playing
guessing games with blackened
keys of
hypocrisy. Tenements of
wisdom with blotted out
interiors shake pillars of
faith, yet hold boldly against
jars of sinful action. Conch
shells abandoned by
kindness are used to serve
porridge to disenfranchised
lepers in the streets. Catholic
serenades stream forth from
misers lips, caressing
earlobes of Eros-quelled hearts.
Nascent beliefs form in the minds of former pagans and plant
seeds
onto the never ending
staircase of episteme. Pregnant with lies, charlatans
preach optimism from their
bosoms as they are
quenched seraphim. Turning to
God in flocks of thousands, the
rebirth of sensible earth
patrons purloin thought from reason and
spit on the chalice of
earthly evil. Purposeful revolution forces false
territories into tatters.
Piranha bite at the heels of perceived earthly
understanding, sending pseudo
kings to their knees and their followers to
vacate their homes. There is
but one truth to behold in the darkness of the
world, that no one is born or
dies free from the chains of interminable greed and
xenophobic viciousness which
comes with the birth of nations.
Your only hope is to find the
kingdom of heaven, born from God Himself.
Zealotry in the name of the almighty insures your place in
the ever after.
