Truth Will Out: Papus interruptus




Now the shoes speak,
decking his body in gay ornaments.

     This main secret, fit for a fool to fail by.
What must the Vicar of Christ do now?  As
the Pope, tell him this tale.

     Are you contented to abdicate the Triregnum.
Abdicate then.

     Then know, it is your fault that you abdicate
the supreme seat, the throne majestic, the 
scepter'd office, losing your gorgeous palace
for a hermitage, your gay apparel for an 
almsman's gown, your congregation for
a pair of carved saints, your kingdom for
a little grave.

A Volley of Words


Thane of Towson


     All smeared with pale ashes on Wednesday morn.
To ears of flesh and blood:  List, list, O, list to the few
words of wisdom among the chaff of the Bible--"Dust
thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."  

     Live how we can, yet die we must.  Golden lads
and girls, all must come to dust.  All follow this and
come to forgotten dust.  Fear no more.

     And in dust I write.

The Seven Paineful Questions about the Saintly Zombies in the Bible*


Alive or dead?
Hear you, sir?  Speak!


         Earthquake Opens Graves;
Green and Pale Zombies Roam Jerusalem Streets
                                                                          --Jerusalem Times, Weekend Edition


     I.  Were the Saintly Zombies all of one sex,
        or a mingle of males and females?

  II.  Did the Saintly Zombies walk around naked,
        or were they draped with their shrouds?

 III.  Did the Saintly Zombies terrify their neighbors,
        friends, and families by coming back 
        from the dead?

 IV.  Did the Saintly Zombies go home, or go back 
        to work, or resume the lives they had before
        they died?

   V.  Did the Saintly Zombies have any conflicts 
         with their families over property or new 
         loves of their spouses?

  VI.  Did the Saintly Zombies go back to their
         graves and rebury themselves?

 VII.  Why is there no mention of these Saintly
          Zombies by Mark, Luke, John, Peter,
          Paul, or the resurrected Jesus?

     Paul says Resurrection is the cornerstone of
the message of Christ (1Corinthians 15:ff).  But
Paul never sought out one of the Saintly Zombies
or anyone who knew them.

     Flamen Paul who scolds against the quality
of flesh, and not believes himself.  Never more
a false title plead!  

     Let this damn you, and ditches grave you all.

            *Matthew 27:51-53
