A Midnight Call

This is a real life experience, and I have been finding it difficult to explain it poetically. I have made an effort to convey this fantastic incident, and am sorry if it is a muddled piece. This incident took place on March 6th 2003 and I don’t think I will ever forget the effect of prayer and doubt our calling to prayer either.

I looked at the clock in the faint moonlight
That shone
Through the partly open window.
It was way past twelve;
I scarcely could believe
I was in for hallucinations.
It beckoned me in firmer tones
To get down on my knees.
More out of fear not obedience
I gave in to its pleas.

I prayed five decades of the Holy Rosary
And then heard the voice again
‘There is someone out there who needs your prayers
And feels My peace flow in.’
It took me a while to go to sleep
Feelings of excitement and awe took hold of me.

Alas, the day went by and it was almost sunset.
I walked down the road and met up with an old friend.

I hadn’t met her for a couple of years;
And while talking I casually asked her
‘By the way, when is your birthday?’
‘It’s today!’ she exclaimed! ‘Why do you ask?’

‘I’ve had the most odd feeling
The whole night through
I felt that someone was praying for me.
And I sat up and prayed a whole Rosary.
All the weeks worry that burdened me
Seemed to vanish instantly.’


That's your poem, I think.

Romans 4:9
Do you think for a minute that this blessing is only pronounced over those of us who keep our religious ways and are circumcised? Or do you think it possible that the blessing could be given to those who never even heard of our ways, who were never brought up in the disciplines of God? We all agree, don't we, that it was by embracing what God did for him that Abraham was declared fit before God?

Significantly, Titus, non-Jewish though he was, was not required to be circumcised.

Entering into this fullness is not something you figure out or achieve. It's not a matter of being circumcised or keeping a long list of laws. No, you're already in--insiders-not through some secretive initiation rite but rather through what Christ has already gone through for you, destroying the power of sin.

Jesus-god Damn-christ. There is no fucking god, and I am empirical evidence of that. I am really beggining to tired of this religious propoganda. BUT, I refuse to judge this solely on my beliefs and how nonsensical I find your's to be, so...

it's actually good. definately go with zodiac's form and you will have a masterpiece.
