The Best Cover Letter Ever Written

"The Best Cover Letter Ever Written."

I like words, too.
But only if they mean something.
Austere words, which communicate man's inner demons.
Blistering words, which scathe human iniquity.
Righteous words, which are pious and just.
To me, casuistry is verbiage which “Crackles, Sparks, Pops,”
Is “Gluttonous, Voluptuous, Gelatinous and Toady.”
Finding “Demimondes” when you could simply say, “Flapper”.
Sexy is a good word, because everyone knows it.
But describing the woman’s sumptuous lips;
Why not just call them kissable?

Oh, I love words, when they speak the truth.
When they vacuously “Tinkle and Tick and Creek and Crank”
It sends chills up my spine, and I want to vomit.
I hate those words; they are gaudy excesses.
Give me an excursus describing Stirling Engines
And build a society to the stars; colonize Andromeda’s Galaxy,
Speculate on the Quasars; theorize about gravity and the grave.

Words are my Aegis, and my mien is sullen when “Salacious, scandalous, and suave”
Words are guarded at the gates of the Orthodoxy of Svengalis who deem 
Grammatical Sentences as obsolete. 
Man is man. Woman is woman.

Casuistry, Sophistry, Postmodern messes
Trick the existentialist generation
Who find meaning from nowhere…
And they like the thrill of “Suck, tongue, lick, lavish”.

I have nothing base to say.
I deal in the realms of Philosophy;
The higher forms
The archetypes of civilization;
The meanings and nuances of all life
And the Sphere we live upon called the Earth.

Am I a better writer?
If that is good writing, I am the worst.
Yet, my writing means something
And that is all I ever intended it to be.

Mark 13:51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

    2. Just don’t forget your audience. Be true to how you write. Don’t write anything that you don’t geniunely enjoy reading yourself. I’m trying to build an audience with my style, which will be hard to do. But, remember to keep in mind who your writing for. But I’m happy you really enjoy my craft. It’s good to see someone gets something beneficial from my work. 🙂

      1. Yay .. okay 👍

        I write because I love to write. If I can’t , I don’t force it. Thank you for the support and the encouragement.

        I admire your style of writin.

      2. Thanks. I have to admit, some of my best work came from forcing myself to write when I didn’t want to. Or felt like I couldn’t. Writer’s block sucks; it sucks the joy out of life and everything. I get a dull headache when I have it. It’s usually correlated with a lack of subconscious material. I go for walks in the park, watch YouTube or read old books until I find a theme for the day. Something new I learned. Doesn’t always produce great art. but it feels good to just get something down on paper.

        But thanks! I’m glad you like my style of writing! Peace be with you.

      4. Yep. Try to read the good ones. Some old books are full of pessimism and niilistic thought. Read ones that affirm value and truth. That affirm human worth, volition and freedom. Ones that affirm love has meaning, and affirm trancendental truth.

        I hope you do well!

        Some good YouTube Channels are Mental Floss, Vsauce, ASAP Science, Psych2Go, Yale Courses Online, MinuteEarth, Rare Earth. Vox, School of Life, Eight Bit Philosophy, Wisecrack— You also want to watch every documentary you can on the authors you’re reading. There’s going to be about two or three good documentaries—or maybe even interviews—for the authors you read. There’s Acadamy of Ideas, Crash Course, some of the modern intellectuals are good like Jordan Peterson and Thomas Sowell. I also listen to sermons and essays by C. S. Lewis. You can also watch old interviews like Mike Wallace, Phil Donahue and William Buckley.

        The Internet has a wealth of knowledge. But, you have to use it well. You have to be incorruptable, and know God. If you know God, it all will be beneficial.

        Some other channels are Big Think, Learn from the Masters, Akiane Kramarik’s Channel, Christian Sermons and Audio Books, Ted-Ed, you got to keep up to date with Pop Culture so Watch-Mojo is a great channel for that, Minute Phsyics, Watch some of the Travel Vloggers, the Vlog Brothers, Bishop Robert Baron is good, Mind Your Decisions—

        You start watching a steady diet of those kinds of videos, your YouTube Channel will be a weallspring of information. You’ll get some weird stuff, but just keep plugging away at the good information, and soon YouTube will stop recomending to you stinkers.

        Try to avoid apologetics videos. Whether Atheist or Christian. I gave you Bishop Robert Baron because he’s pretty good at explaining things, and is more intellectual. But try to avoid the videos where you get Atheists trying to dissuade you from belief in God. They’re not useful. God exists, and your journey should be about finding Him. It’s why I write, so I can bring people to Jesus, and unlock their minds to the knowledge God has given me.

        God bless. I hope you use these channels well!
