(This 'poem' may be a bit graphic for some readers who easily get queasy.)

I want my entrails to be ripped out


And scattered to the four winds


I want my idiotic head bashed in


After its ears have been severed


I want my ten toes and fingers


To be ground, fully-cooked, and


Fed as slop to pigs that


Squeal for their belated lunches


I want my skinless leg bones severed at the joints,


Sun-dried, then broken into hundreds


Of tiny, brittle pieces before getting


Scattered broadly in the deep blue


I want this lying tongue ripped out,


Stewed and fed to prowling dingoes


In the wee hours of down under nights


All of the above and more is what


I want should one day I fail to believe


Or to be grateful to the living Lord


Lovingly infused in my childhood and youth.

After going throughout my life's meat-grinder I can't be squeamish for a little description of what as been done to many of us.
But, to even imaging that after having one a man can lost his faith is totally beyond the wildest fantasy. No way that can happen.

Boy! I'd sure hate to be the Chosen to carry this out. Thank goodness it ain't gonna happen in this life.
Love,

Excellent, Randall, graphic, yes, but o, so necessary. Especially the ending...those that don't believe will find out the truth at the Judgement: and these punishments are mild compared to what's to come. Well done!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Tales From the Crypt to the guts! Devil went down to Georgia lookin' for a soul to steal - he didn't get yours, Randy. Drastic Poem of the Entrails stirs the cauldron religiously! Apple Cider to you Randall Barfield. Blessed Be.

Love,
