THis is a satire of a certain preacher. However, for legal reasons, I cannot use his full name in this poem.

In darkend depths of caves so cold there liv'd
A spawn of dullness purely made for hate.
His 'father,' mask'd in simple minded waste
Of brain and skull, was simply there to give
His son a weekly dose of empty speech.
But O! how Ph---, the son, could use those words
To strike, to kill, to burn and then beseech
The mass of fools, for only 'once', to teach
The ways of God and show, on high, the Lord,
parade his hate, and send forth his merciless wrath.
"What I hath taught to you," said Ph---, "shall be
My giving unto you to teachth to all
Who love and all who care abouth that wall
Of gaysth. Tell to them the wordsth you sthee,
Call to them the wordsth of God. Let'sth hate!"

"If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh"

I enjoyed this but it's not your best. Keep posting frac!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I particularily like the message on here. Tell me who it's about over ICQ ok?

the thought in here is almost controversial, but I will personally agree with you. Preaching hate is what I see too often, and has to be stopped.

I'm just glad that now this rainstorm has ended, and I can see the rainbow once again.
