As a child I always seen my grandpa with this worn and tattered black book with gold letters on the front, and when he stood at the pulpit and opened it all got quiet and a deep baratone voice would begin telling us of Gods love and the sufferings he went through for us, what was exspected of us and as he spoke, you felt God,s Love .All that from the Bible How great is that.
THE BEGINNING THE END
It’s the only book in the world that is truly alive,
It tells you how to live your life and what happens when you die.
It helps you see, what was then and what will be.
You’ll learn of your spirit and also his,
Your soul it teaches can be cleansed
It tells of seven angels and the horrors of those who don’t believe.
And the glorious sight we believers will see.
Sayings you’ll see on every church marquee like
1 cross, 3 nails, 4 given.
Makes you question how are you living?
So Sunday morning what do you do?
Lie around, watch TV?
Why not get on your knees or,
Pick up a really good book to read.

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
