I have two sins... Bitterness and Idolatry. I slept sweet last night, And then tried to escape the essene--- And I saw Hephzibah in her olive skin, And she did not want me. For I idolized her. And then, the prison house rapist Mocked me, where the employer Wished me to meet my fate. And because he would not hire me, I had an outburst; For though I knew his sons and daughters, He did not wish to hire me, for my bread, But wished me to be the Prison's Victim. And I told the rapist, I'd like Brittos Slay him, yet it was bitterness, Even with a vile oath. And then I fought the sith, And ended up on a Morning Talk Show... There I saw those same people, But they ignored me, And when I talked, They said, "This is a weak gospel." And I saw my acquaintances walk by, downcast, And I knew not how I offended them... Was it my fault? I did not know for I could not recall the offense. Yet, it was my gospel, Of faith producing works.... They shunned me, though And had their soldiering to do... Who they fought I do not know, But I do know it was not themselves. And then, after the essene tried to grab me, And I blurted out my idolatry, I was bit by two Komodo Dragons, And avoided a third. And I walked to the snow, and washed the cankerous wounds, I could feel my leg were swollen and numb; Where before I were in the fires of hell so I could witness it were real. And I asked the local, "Does this kill?" He said, "No." in his ancient wisdom; The White Evangelical told me to go see a doctor. Yet, I washed in the snow. And before that, I was talking, And they were discussing the Apostolic Fathers. And I knew a thing, and they knew a thing, But they cared not for my thing, only theirs; They said to respect the Crumbs at the Table; so I listened to their gospel, And knew I was but a man. But then they asked me about the weeds. To which, I told them about the weeds... First all they knew were the Dandelions, So I told them about the Veronica, the Mayapples, the Daisies, The Violets, the Broad Leaf Plantain, But they said I talk too much. But while walking a little further, I saw what I didn't tell them, Which was Wolf's Bane, which I knew never to touch. Yet I forgave my debtor of one hundred shekels; And I told him, "You sow what you reap." And the realization came to me as I awoke... "I have two sinis. Idolatry and bitterness. "But the rest of it is this faulty world and its ills... "Most of this is not my fault, I now understand. "It is just a cruel world."
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.
