The Bible holds the definition of the word of Jah
Clear, with no obfussy experience, Word,
the slang cool a decade or two ago, word
was a repeat expulsion of agreement,
in a certain holy ritual spirits call, say
Amen, word, and fall
at the feet of a Gamaliel, be taught by the learned
Authorized Version
It is said be
Here, a little and
there, a little
word from god, go.

The Bible fragments -minus lacunae - missing bits
using no breathing commas, so we know bits,
- but not knowing every thing about anything,
- is no reason not to share the map,
- to there, and back.\ Mere Word
we might say it defines the Word of God,
as being
a  little here, there, everywhere,
whispering
still small voice, here,
am I, listen, murmur, spirit, valued only in spirit,
measured only in spirit,
spoken only in spirit to the hearer, who dares
tell the professional confirmer of hell being so real,
to blow off
that 10% off the top, is but a taste,
of the indulgence giving fifty years in service buys,

to a truth leaver, finder, prove me now, did,
did prove that is not true, that tither magic
used on Christian TV, the giving,
ah,
the widow's mites and mine, we are the salt,
in the soup we offer god's truth, to witness,
crackle thorns in fire,
laughing of fools, found at the edge,
wondering
why they bet there is no god, ah, yes,

I recall, because, if there was a god,
there was a heaven where dead babies go.
And, that being so,
there was a hell for theives and liars, entire sets,
sorted there,
concise, those enter not, no thought, with hooks to
******
the rumproast or prime rib before the seething's done,

indeed, sons of eli, the movie about your book is bullshat.
That a fact?
Fact is, as this story itself is pickin' up steam, we gotta climb

up from the swamp reeds and tamarcks ******* salt
from deep roots, to settle as dust,
on distant ice in need of pressure, osmosis us, squeeze,

a reasoned measure, a certain limit passes, time has points

remarked each season by passers by
awe
expressed at thinking, we all thought this each time
one reads as an act of faith, realized, used, a what ifery,

bet, if I write this, another will read and feel precious,
as any smooth stone in dappled winter shade,
glossed, as the learned say, to be noticed,
as not anything, only words, dancing.
While thinking of Jordan Peterson's right eye tear, his poor left brain being pricked at by pharisees who reeeely really know why hell remains, after the forgiveness of those who knew not what they did. Ranted, the ***,
