Conscious depression wrought sin.

- Enjoy.

Mr eager harkened the darkness beneath my impartial conceit.
He conceived a theatre distressed, an eased me into death
Relieving my inherent weakness of being a creature of flesh.
His speaking of intents besieged me with the deepest of regrets
When seething breath excreted “I’ve seen you repressed,
As a peon dressed in a priests robe, deceived by a sect.”
Contempt embalmed me, as I skulked, baring scalding heat.
In the darkness, I heard the ghosts of Carthage call to me
Barking a carrion bargain, “Care for the impoverished,
Prepare the starving to feast. Then lead the sheep
To slaughter, well ensnaring them in their beliefs.”
I arose barely bearing anything comparative of the scene
Yet a raring scream sunk deep, tearing me at the seams
The serpents sleek wearing was carried in my sleeve
An each beating of my heart, prepared him for release.
A carriage, thought a chariot, flared by mares at speed.
Brought despair an deaths corsairs to cherished seas.
The herring ceased their seasonal pairings to flee
An the people flocked for bequeathed knowledge
Beneath a deceitful prophet, seeking merited relief.
The narrative preparing the children of Eden, barren
To receive a gospel, hymns an misanthropic tariff
Authored by a seraph wrought with implausible grief
As ears accosted of his speech, bought into receipt
“Our god deemed father would seek martyrs an priests,
To march for seeds sprouted of dew harboured in breeze.
Seek through flesh carved, renewed harvest an leaves,
Leave no non-follower to be a father whom breathes.
Seek farther then hawks wander flocked in retreat,
To bring children of lost homage, to our cause of reprieve,
Waive not their shamed taunts, kill all who naught believe.”
Shaken conscious came a beast, a lion caustic in frame,
Who rode tireless, across his domain, a thoughtless Crusade.

-Jesus

extension needed...12hr shift

[Xces]

Do what you gotta do Que, just get it in. I've wanted to see another verse from you since I read your shit from last week.

An I'm an impatient fuck.

-I don't mind the extension. I realize this could be read as me saying no. lol

[Que]

I know I have a window of six hours but...I doubt I will pull it off.....Working like a dog this week. Don't count me out yet tho......you might be surprised. I just got off and began writing. Xces -Respect for ya bro...dont want your post to go unchallenged. Cracking the Seagram's Gin as I type and log out.

[Xces]

If acceptable by everyone else. I don't care how long you take, just get it in. I can understand being busy with work, and honestly have zero desire to take a no show victory in my first week in the league.

XCES WINS BY NO SHOW
