[The setting: The Solar System. Jesus and Tony stand just outside the Karman line (earth's atmosphere), on two large stars,looking down on earth below. They are undaunted by the violent flows of charged particles about them or the shooting comets whizzing to and fro, some coming perilously close to colliding with their bodies. The sun gleams 93 million miles away but is perceived as within reach from the vantage point at which they stand, as does the moon350,000 miles removed.]
[Tony]: Yo my man, Jeezy For Sheezy, aka J Chrizzle, aka MY MAN!!! SHOW ME THE MOOONNEEEY! Jesus!
[Jesus]: .....yes my son?
[Tony]: For real, for real son. ahem! I mean Son (of God)! I really 'peciate the way you let me run my blog with your namesake, you know, thejesusmetaphor.blogspot.com. Nah'm saying?
[Jesus]: .......
[Tony (oblivious to the pause from Jesus. moving his arms, gesticulating as he speaks)]: ...like....like....son...Son! You let me write about anything I pleases nah'm saying! AND I DO! I DO WRITE ABOUT ANYTHING THAT PLEASES ME! But yo, I appreciate the trust son, the liberality that I have in your Name Son! It completes me knowing that you entrust to me, an outlet of expression bearing Your Name Son! I wont let you down, BOYEEEE!
[Jesus]: I trust that You wont. Stay grafted to me and you shall never fail. Stay rooted in the Word of God and to prayer and fasting. I will reveal even greater things for you to chronicle in your poems.
[Tony (slightly amazed)]: ....wwuuuuuuuuuuuttt?
[Jesus]: Like for example, the people below us. Explain to them the importance of preparation for my Coming.
[Tony]: ok, okay! Bet! NOOO DIGITY - NO DOUBT!!!! SON!
[Jesus]: Very well then.
[Tony]: ...yo Jesus, Baby Jebus, tell me something....are the Miami Heat gonna win the whole shebang this year, dawg? Will my man Lebron, the King, finally get his ring? .....(even though technically, youre the True King...but I digress)
[Jesus (rolling his eyes)]: Focus my son! Render unto Lebron the things that are Lebron's and render unto me that which I have asked you to do! ...But I do know who's gonna win!
[Tony (sticking out his tongue and folding his arms)]: ....HEY!!!! ... NOT FAIR!!!
-------------/Rapture: The Thoughts Of A 21st Century American cum First Century Jew (Or Vice Versa)
The sonorous shrills of mocking (bullying) fiends the tremendous tyrannical trampling push and shove of romantic rejection braying and bellowing animals of self pity and depression, restless. societal worthlessness
The frenzied hysteria
of the panic of loved ones dying searching deserted places
for answers (as others run abandoning consolation)
to find their memories in the last hour lone totems of hope to cling to
scurrying under tables or entrenching our backs in closet corners
of prolonged isolation and coping, bracing (praying for times past).
the scowling gales of unemployment and bankruptcy fell trees
of inopportune times splitting foundations of security
the threat of nuclear holocaust or pandemic disease
looters in the streets impervious to decency or consideration for others
diabolical giggles of madness shattering glass shards of insanity
persecution for our faith like roving rapists attracted to the
fire rising clouds of smoke and soot from abandoned cities
torched by disobedient civilian unrest
racism the legion of roman soldiers attempting to restore
yet impaling yet hurling spears into pregnant women's bosoms
war on the family, warring against femininity
the sky of optimism turns blood red the migratory morose moon
rises
prepared for the day of dread, when life has lost all meaning
secular state
and the enemies of preying for our destruction join forces against us
malevolent spirits with swords drawn our hands veil and protect our
faces our tears decorate our ethos - Satan stands to attest
the end of the world of hope is upon us; make haste
let the obstinate blind marry and the foolish eat and drink
our joys and merriment lie ahead yet to be realized
we stand on our roofs of desperation detached from the materialism
(hands stretched towards the sky)
of our goods inside we are in the fields of abject humility
never to return to our former ways, jettisoning tools
we grind the grain of yearning for emancipation oblivious
to anyone adjacent
change us in the twinkling of an eye eradicate our plight corruptible
gather us from the four winds and escort into the kingdom
of panacea
cure all of our ills assuage all of our grief, resurrect
the dreams of our childhoods
at a day and an hour which we do not know but already
too late

1 Corinthians 15:51-53: "Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality."
Mark 13:26-27: "And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven."
Luke 17:26-35
"Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
"It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. "It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed. On that day no one who is on the roof of his house, with his goods inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything. Remember Lot's wife! Whoever tries to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it. I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left."
