For all of The Holy Church of Gore faithful, on EarthDay, Papa Possum's "Brother Al's Traveling Ecopalypse Show"
For Vladimir Lenin's glorious birthday,
for "Ira Einhorn murdered his ex-gf and composted her in a closet" day,
For all of The Holy Church of Gore faithful....
Enjoy, or not.
Brother Al's Traveling Ecopalypse Show
Establishment Clause?... Anyone?... Anyone?...
Once upon a long, long time,
before the age of Man,
The Earth was green
and quite pristine,
an Eden wonderland.
Far wiser creatures roamed The Earth
pre-Man's ascendancy.
Tooth, and claw,
and tarpits all
just lived in harmony.
Fireball, and earthquake,
glacier ice, volcano flame
would rip and tear
The Ecosphere,
yet Eden stayed the same.
Then Man, the evil wretch, appeared
with greed, and carbon sin,
arrogant stride,
and market pride;
Man did poor Eden in.
But from patrician pampered privilege
a Prophet answered the plea
a Promised One,
Senator's son,
(failed doc divinity).
He collated contextless graphs
and false cause photo clips
and made a go
of a roadshow
preaching Apocalypse.
He soon was Senator, like Dad,
and even became Veep.
2000 went,
lost President,
and went off the end deep.
Then took the roadshow to the screen
to mass evangelize,
and pushed the vid
upon the kids
and won The Nobel Prize.
Though infidels and heretics
denied The Truth they heard
and dared profess
no consensus,
The Prophet preached The Word.
'Til in the halls of Congress,
His Gospel at last obeyed,
by their will
came Holy Bill
for Carbon Cap and Trade.
So rejoice, all ye brethren,
for His Glory is at hand,
His Sacraments
for low footprints
will justly rule the land:
light bulbs, trees, toilet paper,
hybrid cars, and compost piles,
windmill spins,
recycle bins,
and eco-Marxist smiles.
Soy milk, organic honey,
Green Delights now all in store;
Liberty stilled,
with no Free Will,
The Holy *Church* of Gore.

How could I not read something that comes from the fertile mind with such clarity and import?
Seriously though, I'm no laureate.
I'm just a guy who can rhyme stuff.
I look at it in the same way as Charles Schulz creating Charlie Brown in "Peanuts".
Does Charlie speak for Charles?
Yes.
Is Charlie Charles?
Probably not.
I still do have people though who insist on calling me Papa.
What can you do?
it was from a friend in the gulch named Papa, er,
Euda, er, Rick ... and he thought that I had blown
a gasket. -- j
Thanks for reading, m1.
Did your friend laugh or blow a gasket?
If you follow the link at the end of the main post, you will go to my blog page for this piece.
On the page is a soundcloud feed of me reciting the piece, in case you both want to hear someone else read it.
Thanks for sharing it.
p.s. I read it out loud for a friend
here in the kitchen -- super!
Yeah, weird.
I look forward to any comments you might have.

Herb, I always enjoy your commentary in verse.
Thanks for reading.
Not Pogo, dear,
But a teller of the truth,
Without being so uncouth,
He speaks without fear.
Though he talks in rhyme,
His thoughts are sublime,
As he shows eco-freaks the door;
And then, forevermore,
The foibles of Algore.
Thanks for reading, J.
Thanks for reading, Kevin.
