Where Have You Been?

[Poetic Peter]

a lamentation in free verse by a sinner begging alms
from God, writ on this very spot, without a single edit after.
He is Perfect.


Oh, I wish to ask of You, where were You
My God, where you were when I was in green fire
Of falsity, led astray by the Miami Mystic. You
Were not my savior there. Horror of my mind
And mott'ling flesh, rotting months in Doral West.
Oh God! I did lose my faith in You. Until just yesterday.
Spit out I was, from the d----'s maw. I left her kinder *
There as well: those lost souls, of which I was
One once. No more!

Where have You been?
Dear Jesus I am !
Home!

Re: Where Have You Been?

Brother Peter! WELCOME HOME, TRUE CHRISTIAN™

And you know what? You still got it! Hallelujah!!!!!

About the best I can do is, "What is, is. What ain't, ain't."

(I've been saying it for a long time now and so can only hope it refers somehow to JESUS.)

[Poetic Peter]

Re: Where Have You Been?

I can't tell you where I've been. Elders are debriefing me.
So do not ask more about that, woman.

It was a terrible time. For the first five months, though, I actually enjoyed it.

No, that wasn't -me-. It was some loathsome remnant of my old Congregationalist-self that They caught.

The fact is, I was sent on a mission to infiltrate a cult out west of the Miami airport. The leader....

Didn't I tell you to quit badgering me for data, woman?


---

The downfall began when I met with and began to interview the leader. His eyes were like green fire, like emerald zirconias, only scarier. Yet, I was soon transfixed.

I should have known by that experience decades ago, while still in high school, when a hypnotist was brought in to retrain hyperactive children.
I was told that inside of thirty seconds, I was drooling on mesmerist soles.

I have no personal memory. Indeed, much of the past six months draws a blank.

Now quit prying into Church matters, woman!


---

Praise the Lord for retrieving me again. I know now it was all done for some purpose.

When I regain my wits and mem'ries, oh, what an exposure will transpire, and SMITE the satan in his lair, with the almighty truth of Jesus, my Lord.

And sister, I hope he's your Lord too--and what does God say about women in wrestle against men's stronger minds?
Why, if only...

damn these sickular laws of emasculated men.

No more of this matter. until the book is ready.

Re: Where Have You Been?

Oh, I wish to ask of You, where were You

The footprints blasphemy poem, would have you believe,

"It was then that I carried you"

However, everyone knows that when Jesus is carrying you, that things are great.

These past 6 months Jesus was probably spending that time comforting pResident Bush, and didn't have as much time for you.

But with the nomination of Michael Mukasey, we see that Jesus has time to bring you back.

PRAISE HIM!!!

Re: Where Have You Been?

Thank you Brother V. It means so much to be home again.

I feel that I know what Jesus looks like today:

HE is tall and thin and from Haddam today.
And His first name is actually spelled with an H.

But do not be concerned that my sanity is not yet in surfeit;

a footbath, some Epsom, some scripture, some verse;

and I shall soon make sense again.

Thank you, Brother V.

Whilst my wits are yet dithered (forgivably? so),
I should like to sign off this way for a change:

Re: Where Have You Been?

Thank you sister. May I note?
By your beautiful portrait I see that you have blossomed in my absence
as does as well the pear upon your fruited trunk

So nice to see you all again.
I feel the love of Christ's children, all.

Re: Where Have You Been?

I'm a big blue cop
helping Christians cross the street.
Cause I'm a better man than you.
And I've got a gun...
I've also got some handcuffs,
for when you give up.

Welcome back, Elmer and Glendora
