Foreword

I write to you 

a culture 

who forgot to dream 

who read 

the Word 

like dictation 

who memorize 

verses 

for 

recitation, 

incantations 

of puffed up pride 

unaware of the 

very thorn 

that blinds the eye;

I write to you 

a culture who cannot think 

beyond 

your own thought

lacking 

wisdom, 

or insight 

because of 

the dearth 

of 

intimate love; 

I write to you 

because 

your angry words 

hurt, 

not only me,

but hearts that have 

taken your whip 

of
subjugation 

with patience 

for so long, 

too long;

I write to you 

O rebellious nation, 

who told you 

to escape from the coming wrath 

for the chains you put 

on My people?

I write to you 

who worship your imagination: 

intellect and inspiration 

and confine My people 

to your preconceived 

notions 

of what must be 

Who told you 

that My sons 

should 

conform 

to the way 

you understand 

a man to be 

in thought, 

feeling, 

appearance?

Who told you 

that you can tie up My daughters 

with threats of purity 

violating them 

with your twisted 

limitations,

expectations,

and 

desires? 

I write to you 

a letter 

forewarning of what is to come. 

Consider yourselves notified. 

This is my vineyard 

and I am sending the Rain-Maker 

who will wash all the filth away 

from MY precious inheritance

Drowning the callous in a 

a flood of Noahaic proportion

of 

unapologetic 

scandalous

MERCY, 

which 

will offend 

the unprepared.
