GOSPEL OF BOKE {133 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!)
{GOB_133_01} "WHAT MEAN ' THE WORLD ' ?" says China-girl who's phoned {GOB_133_02} in Mandarin-to-Monkey-bot thumb code. {GOB_133_03} The Monkey-bot's complexity web groaned {GOB_133_04} (which sometimes sounds like ' whirr ' ) / searched for a node ...
{GOB_133_06} about "the world" / transmitted this reply: {GOB_133_07} "THE WORLD" / the people-patterns / bound with STRING. {GOB_133_08} / STRING sometime good / sometime STRING alibi:
{GOB_133_10} OLD STRING / SAME STRING / AGAIN / AGAIN / STRING-ROCK. {GOB_133_11} ROCK SCISSORS BREAK / NEW PATH CANNOT / UNTRIED. {GOB_133_12} THE WORLD / THE STRING / THE BRAIN / THE HEART / THE LOCK.
{GOB_133_14} (with six smooth strokes of her fast, graceful thumb).

GOSPEL OF BOKE {134 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!)
{GOB_134_01} THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE / RESORT {GOB_134_02} FOR JESUS AND DISCIPLES / NOT TONIGHT: {GOB_134_03} A BAND OF MEN COME from the Jewish court. {GOB_134_04} "WHOM SEEK YE?" JESUS SAYS to them on sight. //
{GOB_134_06} THEY all fall down (said John) // Christ asks again: {GOB_134_07} "WHOM SEEK YE?" // "Jesus," they say fearfully. {GOB_134_08} "I said I'm He / Let's go / Ignore these men."
{GOB_134_10} off high priest's servant Malaus' right ear. {GOB_134_11} BUT JESUS SAID: "Don't be an anti-christ. {GOB_134_12} Put that away / You know why I am here...
{GOB_134_14} The men bind Jesus while disciples flee.

GOSPEL OF BOKE {135 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!)
{GOB_135_01} WHILE PETER IS DENYING he knows Christ {GOB_135_02} to Damsel-at-the-door outside the court {GOB_135_03} of Caiaphas, high priest -- INSIDE, not-niced {GOB_135_04} is JESUS by the Jews who now resort ...
{GOB_135_06} the sentences they need to justify {GOB_135_07} a murder while appearing at the peak {GOB_135_08} of holiness / but merely wish to tie ...
{GOB_135_10} The STRINGS suspending their authority {GOB_135_11} within the matrix of the Jewish jar {GOB_135_12} now floating on a roaring Roman sea.
{GOB_135_14} who drags me here, just what-the-hell I've done."

GOSPEL OF BOKE {136 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!)
{GOB_136_01} WHILE PETER IS DENYING Christ twice more... {GOB_136_02} They drag Christ off to Pilate who can grant {GOB_136_03} the Roman state's approval (por favor) {GOB_136_04} to execute this Jesus for his cant ...
{GOB_136_06} His social/power-cracking poetry. {GOB_136_07} His bold expressions that these high Jews fear {GOB_136_08} will undermine "the world" which their eyes see.
{GOB_136_10} "Art Thou The King of Jews? / Yes, Jesus, You." // {GOB_136_11} "Do you say that yourself, or Tiny Tim {GOB_136_12} [or someone who won't rhyme]?" // "Am I a Jew?" ...
{GOB_136_14} unto this judgement station / Just tell me."

GOSPEL OF BOKE {137 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!)
{GOB_137_01} "WHAT HAST THOU DONE?" asks Pilate. // Christ replies: {GOB_137_02} "MY KINGDOM is not of this world / If so {GOB_137_03} my servants would have fought those Jewish guys." // {GOB_137_04} (And this is all that Pilate needs to know, ...
{GOB_137_06} about how those "of Truth" all hear His word.) {GOB_137_07} "Ah what is truth?" smiles Pilate out the door: {GOB_137_08} "I FIND NO FAULT IN HIM." // "Don't be absurd,"
{GOB_137_10} if he release this Jesus." // Pilate oh's: {GOB_137_11} the Jews had pulled his STRING / made Pilate bend {GOB_137_12} from reason to the reasons of Christ's foes.
{GOB_137_14} this innocent from undeserve-ed grave.

GOSPEL OF BOKE {138 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!)
{GOB_138_01} WE FREEZE TIME and we toussel PILATE'S hair {GOB_138_02} WHILE RIDING ON A CAM'RA 'round his HEAD {GOB_138_03} AS IT contests the question "What is fair?" {GOB_138_04} (NOT "truth" -- to him a stone that can't be bled ...
{GOB_138_06} A BULLSHIT CASE as far as he can see / {GOB_138_07} but there is bullshit that is hard to budge {GOB_138_08} with reason / Much less stress to just agree ...
{GOB_138_10} / (LIKE OUR SUPREME COURT when it turned to shit {GOB_138_11} / and stuck their heads up their collective butts {GOB_138_12} / and told DEMOCRACY it's time to quit.)
{GOB_138_14} he might have found a way to plunge the flow.

GOSPEL OF BOKE {139 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!)
{GOB_139_01} SWEET COW SETS OFF THE BOKE-ALARM AGAIN {GOB_139_02} "We're in the stretch where Christ is go'ng to die, {GOB_139_03} and STILL he works a few more ' bullshits ' in? // {GOB_139_04} "Cow, without BULLSHIT!, Boke can't prophesy...
{GOB_139_06} (Unlike your purple spots from outer space.) {GOB_139_07} Before this world began, I ran a sim {GOB_139_08} of ev'rything -- including how we'd face ...
{GOB_139_10} If Boke did not shout BULLSHIT!, all black holes {GOB_139_11} would coalesce into your Sweet-Cow snout -- {GOB_139_12} digesting humankind and all its goals ...
{GOB_139_14} "HA HA," says Cow and toots ' How Great Thou Art. '

GOSPEL OF BOKE {140 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!)
{GOB_140_01} DEMOCRACY AND JESUS / WE UNFREEZE {GOB_140_02} poor Pilate as he swims against the tide: {GOB_140_03} "YE HAVE A CUSTOM ... should the people please {GOB_140_04} on passover, that I can set aside ...
{GOB_140_06} Will ye release this man here (Jesus)?" // "NO!, {GOB_140_07} Not this man, no. / Barabas! Hear our voice." // {GOB_140_08} / Yes hear the BULLSHIT-EATERS / smell the roe ...
{GOB_140_10} / Like when the air in Florida is fouled {GOB_140_11} / by screaming BULLSHIT-EATERS who will say {GOB_140_12} / whatever / like they'd all been Collin-Pow'll'd.
{GOB_140_14} is meaningless when bullshit pulls its tail.)

GOSPEL OF BOKE {141 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!)
{GOB_141_01} BECAUSE HUMILIATION IS REQUIRED {GOB_141_02} of people at the mercy of the law {GOB_141_03} A SCOURGING AND A CROWN OF THORNS TRANSPIRED / {GOB_141_04} Then Pilate said again: "I FIND NO FLAW ...
{GOB_141_06} "WE HAVE A LAW / By our law he should die / {GOB_141_07} He made himself the Son of God!" they shout. // {GOB_141_08} (THEY'D KILL HIM JUST FOR SPEECH / LET'S AMPLIFY:
{GOB_141_10} to violence -- but strange prophetic words {GOB_141_11} that Pilate understood that to espouse {GOB_141_12} was not a crime, no more than songs of birds.)
{GOB_141_14} and so Christ's crucifixion he OK'd.

GOSPEL OF BOKE {142 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!)
{GOB_142_01} AS SPIKES ARE NAILED IN JESUS' HANDS AND FEET, {GOB_142_02} OUR GOSPEL CHOIR STANDS UP TO HAVE THEIR SAY ... {GOB_142_03} / We're Crazy 'Bout The Law / We're God's elite! {GOB_142_04} / Lock up the text and throw the key away!
{GOB_142_06} / Just look what happened when this moron tried! {GOB_142_07} / We hope this lesson teaches all the fools {GOB_142_08} / The Keepers of The Law can't be defied!
{GOB_142_10} / The Law requires this murder to be done {GOB_142_11} / before we praise the lord / [THIS SONG NOW SEGUES] {GOB_142_12} / He's dead already? / Good, there goes the sun.
{GOB_142_14} (Good Lord, that Jesus Christ was truly strange.)
