About my serious side

Not to break the spell or spoil the fun, but you've probably figured out my real name isn't Dummy.

The CTD Diaries is my playground. No one tells the truth in their diaries anyway so I figured I should find another place to get real, where the head lights aren't so bright. I originally thought this would be a good place to post my creative writing, but I think this is just a good place to tell the truth.

rhetoric

2007

and now
behold,
verily
i
say unto you,
wo!

and i say

unto you,
thou shalt
hearken!

and i
speak unto you again
exceedingly
insomuch
that now ye know.

know ye not?

do ye not suppose
all these things?

yea, ye know!

nevertheless,
notwithstanding
thus saith i,

wherefore
inasmuch as ye would,
and i desire

that ye should,
it must needs be--

for i have spoken it
and it shall come to pass.


NoTe: notice in this poem nothing is capitalized. that's an important clue to uncovering my attitude about rhetoric in religion.
