The Priest talking on a Pulpit in The Great In-Between

 



Foundation.


In this modern world, has mankind forgotten judgment may await if one is religious?


Title.


The Priest talking on a Pulpit in The Great In-Between 


(A regal voice whispers)


You do know

What you do and feel in public or secret


My child 


Writes all your life's many hidden manuscripts


And follow's you like a Charles Dickens's


Jacob Marley

Character 

Into and after the crypt 


So do more good

Purge yourself.


Pull yourself away from the Great Tempter's black hole


Don't just sit and judge

Urge your soul


Or the goal could be


You

Stripped and whipped as you become 


Just another

Of the Devils legion's 


Of unloved conscripts
