can you not see?

the handwriting's on the wall.

your children will  

throw stones at you.

they will borrow

your pistols to kill.

you shall be their victims 

as they terrorize the land.

for they have learned well

the lessons of hatred.

they have practiced long 

in the armory of arcades

waiting for the  day

when the lessons learned 

will he applied.

Rachel shall weep

and be torn to bits

and you shall plead the buildings fall

than see the destruction

by your own.

*...faith and humor go well together.

*The Gospel in its pure state was too great a danger.

-Jean Sulivan

*The Church, I now believe, is invited to live a paradox - to break with the order of the world, to stop wanting to be a society complete in itself within the civil society - in other words, a competitor, yielding or resisting depending on circumstances.  It's impossible for the Church to make its message real unless its mode of presence is itself a sign.
