A Proclamation to Our Lord

What is truly important is now clear to me. Though without sight, I have made way to this day, achieving more than I ever had realized. Through so much senselessness and so much sorrow, I have triumphed --- for I now see my life as it truly is, and know that what I was had to be and that what I am becoming, will be most pleasing in your sight.

Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.

And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth: Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.

And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother. And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.

Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him. And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this folly. Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing. But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go.

It's nice to see that even the pagans and heathens among us are well versed in the word of God. Some day, perhaps, the light that has so profoundly changed my life will be shed upon their retched souls that they may know His glory and find true peace in their lives. For the enemy of man is man, in that he has chosen not to see that which has been revealed to him but instead to deny his own nature and declare war against his own soul. He has suffered the price of his self-imposed blindness….a history marked by murder, plunder and untold violence and suffering. If only he could see as I have seen! Surely this would put an end to his decline and, as I have, he would rejoice in the goodness of God and come to see the rich inheritance that lies within his grasp. My fellow Rankers….I shall cease to pray for you only after you have stood beside me on the mountaintop and tasted the fruit of our loving Father.

Dear Jesu,

Who art Invisibile,
Who can walk through walls
And o'er the oceans:

Hallow'd be thy name.

Thy beard is long,
Thy burden'd back strong
On 'Standby', as it is in 'Hyperdrive Mode'.

Give us this day our daily consumables +2
And give us our lunch passes,
As we give lunch passes to those who have lost theirs.

And lead us not into the path of Quaerion the Dark Elf,
But deliver us from his legions,
For thine is the Broadsword of Teleportation,
The twin, face-mounted crucifix harpoons, and the Nudity:

For ever and ever,

Amen

Ah Darky, you have once again cut to the essence of it all and, might I say, in a vestovious and utterly tildaneous manner that has shed new and hitherto unseen light upon He whose words you perspire. Beautiful!

"It pleases the Master that even the house-slaves and the field-slaves obey his edicts concerning the plums. Some day, perhaps, the dribblings which have touched his plummy lips will be gathered by those wretched souls and fought over in the Quarter unto the last sweet giblet. He has taught them to hope for Heav'n, and to fear the Foreman's cat-o-nine. But the enemy of the Master is himself, in that he chooses not to see what is obvious, and to deny the aboriginal trickery of the crafty slaves. He will suffer the price of his self-imposed blindness... For Big John shall cease to crouch only after he has stood beside the Master's bed in the dark and tasted the plums of the foolish Master..."

I will personally pray to the Master to grant forgiveness for the blasphemy that has passed your lips. No the treasure is not a promise to be hoped for...for it sits quietly in view well within your reach. But you are a hard man with a hard heart hiding behind a wall of venom and resentment, all the while crying for the Lord you’ve forsaken to rescue you from yourself. I see and feel your pain my brother. Peace. Joe-joe

Not my cup of tea - but, clear enough.

Is there a poetic way to express this?
