This short story is rated "PG" by the Author.
I look forward to reading the fourth part; a very intrigueing story so far, and an excellent concept. Indeed, even for a goddess, no good deed goes unpunished.

Thanks to my overwhelming need to write my novel I have missed this literary wonder of yours, Aberjhani. I shall rectify that by going back to the first one and reading them up to this episode. I like the way you go about explaining your stories, taken from real life I am sure, as is this latest novel of mine, with some literary embellishments to aid the story. This one was starkly naked and gritty to the nth, and it told the story which is played out every day somewhere in this once great land. Why do I say once great land? Because we have lost our morall compass, that is why. We are allowing our children to be abused with little or no penalty, plus a few other sundry things I could mention, but will leave that for another day. I liked this.
"Astonishing Tale of the Goddess and the Skylark: Part 3 of 4" makes one think on the cruel world that mankind creates. It is a live picture of the ontologic environment of our society.
Roscoe belittled, abandoned, ignored, and brutalized his family. Sage Sweetwater thinks his success came before his self-image was ready for it. From the get-go first part, Roscoe had a fear of failure, paralyzed from working in the dung profession. In this part 3, Roscoe had a fear of success. Fear of success is a barrier to the development of prosperity consciousness when it keeps one from developing their full potential. These people separate themselves from the successful. Those who dare to risk and achieve are painfully reminded what they are not doing. To avoid this pain, they condemn with envy and jealousy. It separates them from others. We reap what we sow. Whatever we put into our minds comes out in our lives. Roscoe put an overabundance of chemical substances and sexual pleasure in his body and mind and he got exactly out of it what he rightfully deserved, death, doesn't bother me, the world is less one more vile citizen. Six feet under, now Roscoe's family has a chance to contribute something positive to society, they are rid of the mismanagement of his wasted life he pissed and dunged away. Perhaps with the dung broadcast, the daisies will grow abundantly around his gravesite to remind one unselfishly that family comes first. The moral here in part 3 is to define the parameters around which you are willing to be successful, sustaining family values, love, and respect, and most important, have love and a positive self-image for yourself. The "Chief" Willie Mae, your mother, Aberjhani, smiles down from heaven on this day, nodding her head in acceptance of her poet boy...
You have a gift and penchant for writing in all disciplines..
We are blessed here in the Den, to be able to view and ingest your incomparable works..
