Turn the Page


A third through the Late Meccan chapters we come to Sura 88: the Overwhelming, the same way we'd come to a little town on a long and lonesome highway somewhere east of Omaha. You can look up from the corn chip bag, the driver says “Ah-ha; We just passed Overwhelmsburg”, and you say “You mean that grocery store?”

In the whole last sixteen chapters there's been nothing much that's new. But your thoughts will soon be summarized, the way you always do, and you don't feel much like reading, you just wish the book was through.
Here I am, writing poems again. Here I am, nothing to say. Had some notes, made them rhyme again. This Surah goes this way.


Judgment day's a-comin',
lotta peeps is gonna burn.
The cultists will be happy,
when it gets to be their turn.
Show them all the things around them,
tell them it will come to pass.
And if they never listen,
god is gonna kick their ass.
