".....he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper"
----------[Lady Gaga, Please let your love heal me. You are my Elisha and I, your Naaman]
Lady Gaga, baby
The LORD has given me many conquests
(many ex-girlfriends)
but compared to your love they are all acne
severe leprosy
and the more victories, the more Syria expands
inside I grieve...
I cant look at my reflection without
rage and tears
because my face looks horrible
because you aren’t next to me when I sleep
and I cant kiss you when I seek comfort
from this troubled life -
baby, cant you see that I need you so distressfully
that I place all hope for our impending love (my welfare)
in a little maid’s hands in Israel?
(on advice heard on a whim)
The King of Syria is my conscience reaching out
(to endless possibilities of us together)
The King of Israel is my doubt resisting
but you are the greatest prophet in the land
just to be near you is miraculous healing
your eyes are God’s eyes, your voice God’s voice
with your staff and cloak (blond hair and gorgeous eyes)
of bedazzlement
so forgive me if I seem desperate with chariots (begging) and horses (sniveling)
steadfastly waiting at the door to your heart
for respite and romance;
For you to stop being reclusive and
tell me what I need to do to make this work, I promise I’ll do anything
I would even bathe in the filthy waters of the Jordan seven times over
if that guaranteed your touch
I would spit in pure rivers (chances with other girls) for you
the Abana and Pharpar are meaningless
everything is meaningless
until you give me your hand in marriage
and make my flesh like the flesh of a child
[PLEASE LADY GAGA, IM BEGGING YOU. HEAL ME HEAL ME HEAL ME HEAL ME!]

2 Kings 5:1-15
Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper. And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman's wife. And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy. And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel. And the king of Syria said, Go to, go, and I will send a letter unto the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment. And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have therewith sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy. And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy? wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me. And it was so, when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel. So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha. And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper. Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage. And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean? Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant.
