there is an evil on the other side of the street – it crawls in the corners of your eyes when you sleep and it stays in the crevices between your hips every waking hour; would you do it like a child? would you go up like exposure wires when he asks you to? it does not corrupt: this evil is much smaller and paler than that – deliver us from evil, oh father – an evil that festers like a wound, an evil that burrows like a graveyard, an evil that unties everything that’s left of you – the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken – do not name that which you shouldn’t, do not try to blame other people for your misery – how do you pray? – do not question he who tells you what you need – this is how you worship, my child – do not wish for him to be sucked up in some unholy black hole – on your knees, my child – your anger shall burn down what he has created only when it is time – open your mouth – do not believe in man-made retribution if it is not eternal, even if you wanted to – Christ died for the dirty things you did – do not take his holy sword unto yourself – He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked – do not speak of blasphemous magic to protect yourself, do not call upon the old Gods – God loves his children – stay silent for all that is worthy – God loves his children – all things good come upon those who wait my dear: rise up and walk. none of your bones are broken.
