Assembled in the backwaters of a narrow corridor, a vessel is crafted on the wheel of perpetual faith, twisted out of hand and into flesh to feast upon the apple light. The nurse sanctions the worm of wraith, from the confides of her moral dress, with serpent wings repressed, all the vice is denied and crimes anointed. She wears of guise of the righteous nun. In the Institute of Faith, where walls are scared with the horrors of Messiah reprise, the hollow child is baptised. A modified ideology's inserted as the shackles of morality are bound for an eternity. Negativity is disarmed. In the bow inflicted before prime development; worship before walk. Assembled a specimen of purity, sterile and internally unatoned, Son of Adam, a receptacle for the virtues of cleansed society. He bears the flawless cross, desiring only the freedom of vile cancer. ==================== "The party is not concerned with perpetuating itself. Who wields power is not important, providing that the hierarchical structure always remains the same". "Saints should always be judged guilty until proven innocent". George Orwell ===================== This is the hour when the mysteries emerge A strangeness so hard to reflect A moment so moving goes straight to your heart" JOy divison [This message has been edited by brian madden (edited 09-13-2000).] |

brian--I am so grateful for a world that holds people like yourself who think so deep that I, so far away, can feel the earth shake. |
