Land of the Beast-666

In town, the sheriff represented the law with a 6 pointed star.
He enforced it with his trusted 6 shooter.
When they bury you, you're buried 6 feet under
and there are 6 pallbearers to carry the casket.
The American flag has 6 white stripes between seven red ones.
There are 6 coins in our money base-penny,nickel, dime,
quarter, half dollar and the dollar.
We speak in 6 tenses-past, present, future, past perfect,
present perfect and future perfect.
There are 6 vowels- a , e, i, o, u and sometimes "y".
There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour
and 360 degrees in a circle.
And when you get off work, you go and buy your 6-pack. You go home and plop down in front of the 6 sided box called a TV. You click the remote so you don't miss the 6 o'clock news. And when the newscaster's words bristle the hairs on the back of your neck, your 6th sense stands on end as you rotate on a planet that races around the Sun at 66,600 miles per hour !
This "is" the Land of the Beast
and you are in his house.
Welcome home !

Actually it really is, Namyh. Very creative piece of writing, although I wouldn't call it a poem. But as far as the Beast? Oh yeah, and He is going to really give us hell soon. We are living in the last bastion of freedom and are giving it away. That is when the Beast will really start kicking ass.

Namyh...cool stuff....actually the numbers can apply to most anything...the barcode as an example is 3 sixes....I have always suspected the computer to be the beast and the anti-christ...it is becoming the latest god to so many.
