Trust in the Lord, Drink the canal water...?
One is to be happy this time of year. I wish I could claim To be so shallow and in an ingnorant bliss as others who Put their faith in men under the guise of a man of the same Dressed in holy garbs claiming to be holier than you. Up and down and crawl you fools kissing the feet of a statue Reassuring your position in Paradiso; your opium of eternal Bliss. Float your boat and drink from the holy trough and moo Like the cow; the follower, the obedient; and taste my milk. Complete your holy vows and venture to Verona to place your Hand upon the breast of Juliett that you may have luck in women Much to the disgust of God who may laugh at this assinine lore. Show your faith, and God spare you as you drink from Venice. Draw water from the canals and bless it you saints as you believe God will clean the disgusting poison water so that the urine and Feces will be wiped clean by the toilet paper of the Almighty. Show the world the miracle so we may believe the water on land Will cleanse your trash and your junkies. Live under the lies Of tourism that all is well, for the Vatican has all the answers. Do you not trust in God to cleanse these disgusting waters of nigh? Rest assured that even our Hemmingway would not falter To drink your disgusting and poison canal water and prefered a slow Death to alcholism rather to stay in Venezia and Harry's Bar But would rather take his chances at the bridge of sighs, and then go To the West Indies pondering his suicide rather to venture again afar. Are you speaking of Christ or Columbus, as neither ventured to Venezia. You have absolutely missed the point. If you can get a little closer, I will give you the points you ***

WAS HE MARRIED? Was he married, did he try To support as he grew less fond of them Wife and family? No, He never suffered such a blow. Did he feel pointless, feeble and distrait, Unwanted by everyone and in the way? From his cradle he was purposeful, His bent strong and his mind full. Did he love people very much Yet find them die one day? He did not love in the human way. Did he ask how long it would go on, Wonder if Death could be counted on for an end? He did not feel like this, He had a future of bliss. Did he never feel strong Pain for being wrong? He was not wrong, he was right, He suffered from others’, not his own, spite. But there is no suffering like having made a mistake Because of being of an inferior make. He was not inferior, He was superior. He knew then that power corrupts but some must govern? His thoughts were different. Did he lack friends? Worse, Think it was for his fault, not theirs? He did not lack friends, He had disciples he moulded to his ends. Did he feel over-handicapped sometimes, yet must draw even? How could he feel like this? He was the King of Heaven. ...find a sudden brightness one day in everything Because a mood had been conquered, or a sin? I tell you, he did not sin. Do only human beings suffer from the irritation I have mentioned? learn too that being comical Does not ameliorate the desperation? Only human beings feel this, It is because they are so mixed. All human beings should have a medal, A god cannot carry it, he is not able. A god is Man’s doll, you ass, He makes him up like this on purpose. He might have made him up worse. He often has, in the past. To choose a god of love, as he did and does, Is a little move then? Yes, it is. A larger one will be when men Love love and hate hate but do not deify them? It will be a larger one. --- Stevie Smith

haha! Well spoken. And touche. Faith is nothing without action ... the PROPER action. Unfortunately, the world lacks this action! We have missed the point.
