A Premillenial Preacher Preaches

The human race, imperfect, is heading for an end, inglorious-

an epoch of madness-

the finish of compassion-

the silence of morals, &-

mute, we-

Millenial

the man & woman ahead of me on the train debate the existence of Satan,

horny red devil, silly fork and tail,

caricature, or world-destroyer

demon, your breath brings death

demon, you do not exist.

Angel you have fallen so far, so fast,

the impact of your crash written in murder reports.

Devil, you paint with our blood.

The poster on the wall of the car is marked:

The caption reads, “TeLl YoUr MOthER: SaTaN.”

But it’s too beautiful a day for eschatology, she says.

Scatology? What’s that? he replies.

“but the end times are here,” I mutter, before I drift off to sleep at Appleby.
