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

GOSPEL OF BOKE {111 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!)
{GOB_111_01}   LAST SUPPER / UPPER ROOM / (AS JUDAS LEAVES)
{GOB_111_02}   CHRIST: "Now the Son of Man is glorified,
{GOB_111_03}   and God is glorified in Him. / [GOD WEAVES
{GOB_111_04}   BETRAYAL INTO GLORY: STORY-FIED] /

{GOB_111_05}   MY CHILDREN, just a little time with you
{GOB_111_06}   is left / And, as I told the Jews, you'll seek
{GOB_111_07}   Me / Where I go, ye cannot come. / THIS NEW
{GOB_111_08}   COMMANDMENT I give unto you to tweak ...

{GOB_111_09}   ... your fellowship: / LOVE one another as
{GOB_111_10}   I have loved you / By this all men will know
{GOB_111_11}   that ye are My Disciples." / [Jesus jazz
{GOB_111_12}   of words preparing them before He'd go.]

{GOB_111_13}   "BY LOVE will people know that you are Mine." /
{GOB_111_14}   [Yes, LOVE is most profoundly Jesus' sign.] {>>>}

GOSPEL OF BOKE {112 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!)
{GOB_112_01}   THEN PETER SAYS: "WHY CAN'T I follow you? /
{GOB_112_02}   I will lay down my life for Jesus' sake!" //
{GOB_112_03}   "OH, will you now?" SAYS JESUS, / ['cause he knew
{GOB_112_04}   the story] / "TRUTH I say, you'll only quake ...

{GOB_112_05}   ... and say you do not know me / One. Two. Three
{GOB_112_06}   times 'fore the morning rooster starts to crow. //
{GOB_112_07}   LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED / AS you see
{GOB_112_08}   that God is real and with you / ALSO know ...

{GOB_112_09}   ... as surely -- just like that -- believe in Me. /
{GOB_112_10}   IN FATHER'S HOUSE, SO MANY MANSIONS WAIT.
{GOB_112_11}   If that weren't true, I'd not claim that to thee.
{GOB_112_12}   I GO NOW TO PREPARE yours / Prop the gate ...

{GOB_112_13}   ... SO WHERE I AM ye also may reside. /
{GOB_112_14}   Ye know The Way." // [The path is not that wide.] {>>>}

GOSPEL OF BOKE {113 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!)
{GOB_113_01}   SAYS DOUBTING THOMAS: "Lord, WE KNOW NOT ' where '
{GOB_113_02}   Thou goest / and how can we know the way? //
{GOB_113_03}   "I AM The Way / The Truth / The Life / ' The Where '
{GOB_113_04}   to go to / COME / There is no other way...

{GOB_113_05}   LOOK: IF YOU TRULY SEE ME, you have seen
{GOB_113_06}   the Father also / and -- therefore -- know Him." //
{GOB_113_07}   SAYS PHILIP (who can't see): "We're really keen
{GOB_113_08}   to see God, Lord / Just show us!" // "DON'T BE DIM! ...

{GOB_113_09}   ... HAVE I been here so long, and still not yet
{GOB_113_10}   do you know who I am? / If you've seen Me,
{GOB_113_11}   you've seen the Father / How can you forget?!?
{GOB_113_12}   Don't you believe? / How can you still not see?

{GOB_113_13}   THE FATHER is in Me and I in Him.
{GOB_113_14}   I DO His Work / The choice is not My whim." {>>>}

GOSPEL OF BOKE {114 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!)
{GOB_114_01}   "DEAR PHILIP, if you can't see Me as God,
{GOB_114_02}   at least BELIEVE BECAUSE YOU'VE SEEN THE WORKS:
{GOB_114_03}   THE MIRACLES along the roads we've trod.
{GOB_114_04}   You've seen them all -- that's been one of the perks ...

{GOB_114_05}   ... of being My disciple / BY THE WAY
{GOB_114_06}   if you believe, YOU CAN DO THEM as well.
{GOB_114_07}   AND even better ones while I'm away.
{GOB_114_08}   HOW can you do them? / [Not by magic spell.] /

{GOB_114_09}   WHATEVER you ask in My Name, I'll do --
{GOB_114_10}   so Father through the Son is glorified. /
{GOB_114_11}   AGAIN I say, ASK ANYTHING and glue
{GOB_114_12}   My Name to it --- It will not be denied."

{GOB_114_13}   [A privilege of power He'll bequest
{GOB_114_14}   to all who pass the -- hard -- believing test.] {>>>}

GOSPEL OF BOKE {115 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!)
{GOB_115_01}   "IF YOU LOVE ME, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS WELL,
{GOB_115_02}   and I will pray the Father / and He'll send
{GOB_115_03}   the Comforter / The Holy Ghost who'll dwell
{GOB_115_04}   with you and be in you / Let Me extend ...

{GOB_115_05}   ... that blessing to the Spirit of The Truth
{GOB_115_06}   ' the world ' [will filter out] / cannot receive."
{GOB_115_07}   [Especially inside the voting booth
{GOB_115_08}   where there's a bias for those who deceive.]

{GOB_115_09}   / THE WORLD can't see ' The Truth ' -- My Spirit flow.
{GOB_115_10}   / I will not leave you comfortless, I'll come. /
{GOB_115_11}   / A little while and from this world I'll go
{GOB_115_12}   / but you'll see Me / I'll live past martyrdom.

{GOB_115_13}   I'll walk beyond the tomb TO SHOW YOU HOW
{GOB_115_14}   it can be done." / [Not just to earn your ' Wow! '] {>>>}

GOSPEL OF BOKE {116 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!)
{GOB_116_01}   ANOTHER JUDAS (NOT BETRAYER) PRAYS:
{GOB_116_02}   "How is it, Lord, You manifest all this
{GOB_116_03}   to us, and not the world?" // AND JESUS PLAYS
{GOB_116_04}   His paralogic way / rhapsodic kiss / ..

{GOB_116_05}   ... not plain hand-shaking that they{we} still expect:
{GOB_116_06}   "HE WHO LOVES ME / will keep My Words / and God
{GOB_116_07}   will love him, too -- and through His flow connect
{GOB_116_08}   the peace of heaven / share the halls We trod.

{GOB_116_09}   HE WHO DOES NOT LOVE ME / keeps not MY LINES
{GOB_116_10}   OF CODE within his chaos program's rules. /
{GOB_116_11}   These LINES are not by Me, but God's own Signs
{GOB_116_12}   transmitting from This Body / My Lips / Tools.

{GOB_116_13}   THESE THINGS I say now. / SOON the Comforter
{GOB_116_14}   will come and teach you more / Not let THESE blur. {>>>}

GOSPEL OF BOKE {117 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!)
{GOB_117_01}   "[MY] PEACE I leave with you / My Peace I give
{GOB_117_02}   to you / NOT as the world gives it / BUT Mine.
{GOB_117_03}   LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED / Do not live
{GOB_117_04}   in fear / I leave you now / BUT BY DESIGN /

{GOB_117_05}   IF YOU LOVED ME you would rejoice / because
{GOB_117_06}   I go unto My Father / who is MORE
{GOB_117_07}   than I -- oh so much greater / There's no flaws
{GOB_117_08}   in how THIS GOD'S GAME/STORY sails to shore.

{GOB_117_09}   I'VE TOLD YOU what will come / so you can see
{GOB_117_10}   it happen / Your small faith will be increased.
{GOB_117_11}   HEREAFTER I will not talk much with thee
{GOB_117_12}   because the prince of this world comes / [The beast] ...

{GOB_117_13}   ... who had no power over Me / except
{GOB_117_14}   GOD'S STORY placed each stone where he has stepped." {>>>}

GOSPEL OF BOKE {118 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!)
{GOB_118_01}   AND HERE'S WHEN JESUS SAYS: "I AM THE VINE."
{GOB_118_02}   ARE WE still in the Upper Room? / WHO CARES?
{GOB_118_03}   YOU CHOOSE THE SETTING / which best fits the line.
{GOB_118_04}   JUST KEEP IN MIND / there is no crowd that stares ...

{GOB_118_05}   ... with eager expectation for a show
{GOB_118_06}   of His unworldly powers in this scene.
{GOB_118_07}   PICK SOME LOCATION where you'd like to go.
{GOB_118_08}   CHRIST'S SPEAKING to disciples seen/unseen.

{GOB_118_09}   / "YOU ARE THE BRANCHES," Christ says RIGHT TO YOU.
{GOB_118_10}   / "If not connected to THE VINE'S pure flow,
{GOB_118_11}   / there's nothing that a branch can be or do
{GOB_118_12}   / except just dry out / burn up / then just go ...

{GOB_118_13}   ... to hell or nothing / So don't disconnect
{GOB_118_14}   from God / [BE SURE POLARITY'S CORRECT!] {>>>}

GOSPEL OF BOKE {119 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!)
{GOB_119_01}   / [POLARITY?!] "PUT MY LINES IN YOUR CODE."
{GOB_119_02}   / The God Game's set on ' high complexity. '
{GOB_119_03}   / The ' feedback loops ' all spiral at each node.
{GOB_119_04}   / Each iteration's outcome's hard to see.

{GOB_119_05}   CHRIST SAYS: "Keep my commandments" / EXECUTE
{GOB_119_06}   My common-senseless LINES encoding LOVE
{GOB_119_07}   in MYSTERY / not systems to re-boot.
{GOB_119_08}   FEAR NOT they don't bind tight as OJ's glove.

{GOB_119_09}   [THOUGH blood's involved with both, Sweet Cow has MOO'D

GOSPEL OF BOKE {120 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!)
{GOB_120_01}   "THIS WORLD IS GOING TO HATE YOU" / THIS I KNOW:
{GOB_120_02}   IF you are running Jesus' chaos code --
{GOB_120_03}   encrypted so the player cannot go
{GOB_120_04}   inside the logic box and overload ...

{GOB_120_05}   ... the Monkey-bot with human error bits --
{GOB_120_06}   YOU simply must HAVE FAITH IN GOD'S DESIGN,
{GOB_120_07}   and not be troubled when the law acquits

{GOB_121_01}   A SWAT-BOKE CAFE CONVERSATION GOES:
{GOB_121_02}   "You knew he'd find a way to work that in."
{GOB_121_03}   "Democracy? / Boke's hot-spot ... when his nose
{GOB_121_04}   is not pressed in a book / or sniffin' sin ...

{GOB_121_07}   "If I'm too pure, how can I set them free?" //
{GOB_121_08}   BUT GOD'S HEARD this before / and sends a dove ...

{GOB_121_09}   ... to peck Boke one more asshole, so his poop
{GOB_121_10}   will get out faster / rather than back up /
{GOB_121_11}   and end up in God's ear / another scoop
