Assembled furniture with my Pa today. Wasn't too bad. I'm just mad because I think Instagram's causing me to lose a bunch of brain cells. There's got to be demons attached to that platform. Never again. I'd rather work a regular job than be Internet famous. This place is cool though.

Update not showing because I've been publishing too late. Another interim poem has been released. Didactic, in that I pray it's a useful instruction. 52.02 - On Submitting Flesh and Heart to God

Oh, and since I don't like extraneous interpretations, I'll just leave why I wrote it in the comments. https://thelesserword.neocities.org/Poetry-Pages/Volume-2/52.02

Was a dummy. Just figured out that Disquis comments require page identifiers so the comments don't get pasted to every page. Thank God I caught that

Short one this time. Instagram might have ruined affirmational poetry for me, but I like these lines. Scrolling through that site makes me feel like an enemy of the whole church though if we're going by what I think: Protestants, Catholics, the whole world. Sometimes I feel that the reason why there's so many athiest today is because Christians now are practically athiest by the Latin, "Without God, godless."

Also... hopefully, ah, I've got re-ignite my love for life now. If St. Peter got to decide over the cruxifixion, he would have ended the whole world and himself. He would have been a terrible God. Good thing God's God, and that God doesn't just kill right away for wrongs. St. Peter though, the Pope's are always tempted, that is if we're going by what he did with his sword.

Missed a day on my schedule to watch a baseball game. Twins win. It rained for a full hour. Delayed the game. I slept through the last bit, because I spent the previous night sleepless writing drafts for letters. Well, here's part 7 of a Tale in Babel. It's longer than all the other wons, so here's a synopsis.

Tale of Babel (VII) - The narrator speaks of the State's 'Entertainment Economy,' where economic prosperity is determined by which actor can remove the most attention away from God. The people are always in want, which is the source of all their problems mainly because they want for the sake of wanting rather than for needs. After this, he speaks depreciatingly about himself.

Cont... Specifically, about the form of writing he's used to relay his thoughts. After this, he accuses the Christians of his day for hypocrisy and abomination. Hypocrisy for accusing those men who lay with men, and abomination for being men who wears women dress and women who wear's men dress. A specific parties are credited through allegory, and he reiterates his desire to witness men worthy to be king.

Cont... What follows from this are further accusations of hypocrisy, and a manner of pity towards abominations accused, those who fly under "God's colored bow" where those accused should not have to suffer from those deserving accusation. This pity extends into a tirade against masculine women and feminine men, with much complaint falling onto those Christian men who compromise the faith for their lusts.

Cont... There is a final accusation of hypocrisy... abominations crying about abominations, and a turn to God where the narrator introduces his name and makes mention of his wife, again, this time in more scathing terms.

In all, speaking as myself now, I think this piece is probably an expression of pity towards LGTQ+ people. Society today is just gays persecuting gays. If you marry a woman who acts like a man, you are gay, so it pains me to see Christians like that make fun of people like themselves behind closed doors. I sometimes wish the Pope would just call everyone out, but then we'd all be kicked out of mass.

Double update: A Tale of Babel V and VI.

In V, the narrator laments about the gifts of those born in wealth, about those born into wealth are more virtuous than himself, who was a man who was "self-made." To Him, Pride is more a friend of self-made men than to men who were already born with nothing to lack. The idea of this part can be summed as such: Can a man with sight be proud of seeing? No, because people can't be proud of what they don't work for.

In VI, the narrator cries about the disparity in perspective between those born favored by God and those born without God. He illustrates this disparity by describing the marriage of a beautiful, virtuous woman born and a working man self-made. Through this, he tries to prove two classes of people: those who need to pray, and those who do not. To him, there's nothing more certain than beautiful people marrying.

Cont. To him, it insults them that the beautiful pray. What's more, he's insulted that he's insulted. He laments because he's insulted. This section ends with light commentaries on popular rule, of how there's no rich or poor. Only good and evil, with 999 out of 1000 being evil... so why expect a majority to choose good leaders? One will choose good while 999 choose evil. There's no check to this but the rule of one.
