NEBIRU CROSSING: and the Word of Allah came to me: Shout these words at Washington

THE SECOND BOOK OF JEREMIAH (Chronicles of the Prophet)

0556...CHAPTER FOUR

and the Word of Allah came to me:

Shout these words at Washington:

Mind when we were at love

in this milk and honey land,

face to face! Why do you shove

away still, as I still stand –

have you found adultery in me?

Can your judges’ and politicians’

ignorance husband you, or see

my law? Can the transgressions

of your pastors embriden you?

Or, are you now twice-divorced:

first turning off the vortex fountain to

all affection, then carrying water forced

into a sieve? You find no drink

or goodness there! Evil and bitter

is such emptiness, yet you think

polluted waters are much fitter

drink than mine? Mind! how I broke

your bond to self-made gods and death!

Why do you seek, oh, why do you yoke

to stone and steel that has no breath?

See how polluted waters have polluted you –

you deny you are unclean? Why

do you wash and scrub if not to

hide your shame? And tho they try,

your home-made gods of stone and stick

shall ne’er astonish earth nor heaven,

nor ever learn such grand new trick

where panther will its spots unleaven!

Alas! I’ve spanked you so in vain

-- you have accepted no correction –

alas, alone I’ve borne the pain

as you make bloody my every mission.

Shall I then take you bride again!!??

[Jeremiah, the second witness to Jerusalem]
