A POSTMODERN/RHETORICAL ADVENTURE THROUGH THE GOSPEL OF JOHN IN SHAKESPEAREAN SONNET FORM

	GOSPEL OF BOKE {34 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_34_01}   " THIS ' BAD ' MUST COME, BUT WOE be to the ones {GOB_34_02}   who ' bring it on! ' " ... George Dubya, ' read my lips ' -- {GOB_34_03}   Hell's barbeque is ready for your buns. {GOB_34_04}   Blaspheming, bullshit-spouting power-trips ...   {GOB_34_05}   ... have made your reservation on the grill {GOB_34_06}   where you will roast forever in you boots {GOB_34_07}   and spurs the devil gave you etched with "kill." {GOB_34_08}   IF YOU WOULD NOT CLAIM God is in cahoots ...   {GOB_34_09}   ... with your Satanic circle's evil deeds, {GOB_34_10}   YOU MIGHT have been forgiven -- BUT you do. {GOB_34_11}   "God bless America," your demon feeds {GOB_34_12}   on blasphemy. The devil led the coup ...   {GOB_34_13}   ... that placed you in the White House to bullshit {GOB_34_14}   the nation into Satan's oven mitt.
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {35 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_35_01}   "MEN LOVED THE DARKNESS rather than THE LIGHT {GOB_35_02}   because their deeds were evil," JESUS SAID. {GOB_35_03}   THE LIGHT brings deeds in darkness into sight {GOB_35_04}   where they will be reproved. The life they've led ...   {GOB_35_05}   ... uncovered from the bullshit hiding them. {GOB_35_06}   "BUT HE THAT DOETH TRUTH comes to THE LIGHT {GOB_35_07}   where God's hand's manifest -- Their work's by Him." {GOB_35_08}   ILLUMINATION is what demons fight ...   {GOB_35_09}   ... by slinging bullshit, aiming for the eyes {GOB_35_10}   of those who they depend on to empow'r {GOB_35_11}   their wickedness and bring the world's demise {GOB_35_12}   by hatred -- painting ev'ry option sour ...   {GOB_35_13}   ... that doesn't feature DEATH. The devil's prize {GOB_35_14}   is hidden by his BULLSHIT and his LIES.
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {36 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_36_01}   JOHN MENTIONED OFTEN how some high Jews sought {GOB_36_02}   to murder Jesus, so we should take pause {GOB_36_03}   to understand how smart folks could get caught {GOB_36_04}   in Satan's game -- BY WORSHIPPING THEIR LAWS. ...   {GOB_36_05}   ... NOT GOD, but MAN'S OBSESSION with THE RULES. {GOB_36_06}   LAW CRAZY ... like some Muslims ... Ashcroft, too. {GOB_36_07}   "By reason of insanity" these fools {GOB_36_08}   are always SEEKING DEATH, without a clue ...   {GOB_36_09}   ... they're on the devil's time clock. If they pray {GOB_36_10}   to God in public while they are, they're doomed. {GOB_36_11}   Attributing by inference that they {GOB_36_12}   are "REPRESENTATIVES OF GOD" consumed ...   {GOB_36_13}   ... with death -- and so, BLASPHEME GOD'S HOLY GHOST: {GOB_36_14}   The deadliest of sin... THAT is the most. {>>>}
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {37 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_37_01}   BIN LADEN, BUSH, AND ASHCROFT ... each will burn {GOB_37_02}   eternally in hell because they claim {GOB_37_03}   to be God's men. That's not hard to discern. {GOB_37_04}   All Christians in America? The same, ...   {GOB_37_05}   ... if they "Stand Up For Jesus" AND for Bush -- {GOB_37_06}   and therefore preach to all the world A LIE. {GOB_37_07}   Not "God in truth and spirit," but the push {GOB_37_08}   of Satan to see everybody die.   {GOB_37_09}   Bush-voting Christians: DON'T YOU wear the cross {GOB_37_10}   when saying you support the president -- {GOB_37_11}   OR Jesus Christ will count you as a loss {GOB_37_12}   on judgement day. YOU DON'T SEE what Christ meant?   {GOB_37_13}   WHO TOLD YOU YOU CAN KILL YOUR ENEMY {GOB_37_14}   WHILE CLAIMING JESUS' BLOOD? Just wait and see. {>>>}
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {38 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_38_01}   Yes, CHRISTIAN BULLSHIT-EATERS, that's your fate. {GOB_38_02}   You better read your Bible one more time {GOB_38_03}   and change your mind before it is too late. {GOB_38_04}   I've made it clear, it is a mortal crime ...   {GOB_38_05}   ... against God's Holy Spirit to embrace {GOB_38_06}   Christ Jesus and hell's minions in plain view. {GOB_38_07}   In legal terms, this is "an easy case." {GOB_38_08}   If you claim Christ while helping Dubya do ...   {GOB_38_09}   ... the deadly work of Satan, then you fence {GOB_38_10}   yourself from heaven. Praying will not fix {GOB_38_11}   the damage -- and you will have no defense {GOB_38_12}   come judgement day... So you'd best get your kicks ...   {GOB_38_13}   ... while you're down here -- go wild! You might as well. {GOB_38_14}   All Christians praising Bush are bound for hell.
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {39 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_39_01}   GOD HEARS Boke screaming, and checks in to see {GOB_39_02}   if his mad prophet's heat is light enough ... {GOB_39_03}   "Hi, God," I'm doing what you asked of me. {GOB_39_04}   "You are?" says God, "You're getting mighty rough ..   {GOB_39_05}   ... on folks whose only crime is ' go along ' {GOB_39_06}   with everybody else who crucified {GOB_39_07}   My Son." God stops and smiles, "How 'bout a song? {GOB_39_08}   I call this, Good and Evil Side By Side."   {GOB_39_09}   "OK," says Boke, who's never heard God sing {GOB_39_10}   and isn't sure He can -- He has no need {GOB_39_11}   with angels everywhere, all echoing {GOB_39_12}   the music in His mind. Why now sing lead?   {GOB_39_13}   Suffice to say the Lord sang pretty good ... {GOB_39_14}   And clarified all things misunderstood.
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {40 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_40_01}   BOKE CAN'T REMEMBER what God sang. God zapped {GOB_40_02}   if from his memory: Can't know too much! {GOB_40_03}   To "understand it all" will get you trapped {GOB_40_04}   in heaven 'fore your time -- you cannot touch ...   {GOB_40_05}   ... the human world when you know all there is {GOB_40_06}   -- or so Boke was informed the day he signed {GOB_40_07}   the pointless non-disclosure form in his {GOB_40_08}   own blood: An angel joke -- one they'd designed ...   {GOB_40_09}   ... with too much time to kill, in need of fun. {GOB_40_10}   The prophet job description: Butt of jokes {GOB_40_11}   for angels with no TV. All they've done {GOB_40_12}   cannot be listed here (except: Two Bokes!).   {GOB_40_13}   Somewhere in all that foolishness a snatch {GOB_40_14}   of truth -- a bunny-ball sized piece to catch.
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {41 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_41_01}   "NOW GATHER UP THE FRAGMENTS," Jesus said, {GOB_41_02}   "so nothing will be lost." Almost the end {GOB_41_03}   of "loaves and fishes" when the crowd was fed {GOB_41_04}   and more remained. No one can comprehend ...   {GOB_41_05}   ... God's calculus. But "miracle" will do. {GOB_41_06}   CUT TO: CHRIST WALKING ON THE WATER SCENE {GOB_41_07}   A miracle? You bet! We'll count that, too. {GOB_41_08}   But other than his godhood, what's it mean?   {GOB_41_09}   Grasshopper, must you ask so much of me? {GOB_41_10}   (OK... if you will bring me some ice cream.) {GOB_41_11}   REMEMBER THE DISCIPLES? They can't see {GOB_41_12}   too well the threads in Jesus' whole-cloth scheme.   {GOB_41_13}   One walked on water, too, but got too scared. {GOB_41_14}   Get over that, or you'll just get gray-haired.
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {42 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_42_01}   AND GOD SAYS: "Boke, who are you talking to?" {GOB_42_02}   "These people here? A wormhole thing, I guess." {GOB_42_03}   GOD SMILES: "Hello, Goodbye. You've work to do. {GOB_42_04}   You're hacking up the gospel -- such a mess!"   {GOB_42_05}   "It's called POSTMODERN, God -- some think it's swell." {GOB_42_06}   "I'm not a poop-head, Boke, postmodern's fine -- {GOB_42_07}   but you must do it right for it to sell." {GOB_42_08}   "I haven't slept much ... WATER INTO WINE!"   {GOB_42_09}   // "You did that scene already. Try again." // {GOB_42_10}   "THE BREAD FROM HEAVEN!" // "Wrong part of the book." // {GOB_42_11}   "No. Jesus said He was the bread." // "And then?" // {GOB_42_12}   "The Father is a toaster?" // Dirty look. //   {GOB_42_13}   "Just kidding, God, I've got to get some sleep. {GOB_42_14}   You know... this gospel stuff gets mighty deep."
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {43 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_43_01}   THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE PROPHETS SEE IN DREAMS. {GOB_43_02}   Perhaps Boke wrote these lines when he's asleep. {GOB_43_03}   That would explain a lot -- transmiting memes {GOB_43_04}   from alpha-state would cut down on the sheep- ...   {GOB_43_05}   ... ball soup you have to wade through in the day {GOB_43_06}   when telephones are needed and a war {GOB_43_07}   with snot-wad-creep assistants who can't play {GOB_43_08}   a game without a script. No open door ...   {GOB_43_09}   ... like God's left open in this gospel space. {GOB_43_10}   I know that Boke is dreaming, he can't move {GOB_43_11}   his pen another inch ... except by grace ... {GOB_43_12}   ye must be born again in some new groove.   {GOB_43_13}   Yes, prophecy and dreaming are a pair. {GOB_43_14}   God can be reached from Rome or anywhere.
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {44 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_44_01}   "THIS IDIOT SAYS if we eat his flesh {GOB_44_02}   and drink his blood, we'll have eternal life." {GOB_44_03}   "He grew up in our town. This does not mesh {GOB_44_04}   with boy we knew. If he just got a wife ...   {GOB_44_05}   ... and settled down, perhaps he'd be alright." {GOB_44_06}   CAPERNAUM / A SYNAGOGUE: CHRIST SPEAKS {GOB_44_07}   and no one can make sense ... Though some delight {GOB_44_08}   in Christ's strange poetry -- Best heard in weeks.   {GOB_44_09}   But some disciples think he's just plain MAD. {GOB_44_10}   Insane -- they shake their heads and walk away. {GOB_44_11}   A literary scholar thinks she's had {GOB_44_12}   a happy accident -- decides to stay.   {GOB_44_13}   What can I say, Christ got some mixed reviews. {GOB_44_14}   And somewhere God is belting out the blues.
