| Saints & Angels

Saint Pamphilus pray for us all; pray for those of us who forget even the names of our good friends; pray for our nothingness as well as our being; pray for those martyrs of whom we have not even a name, suffering in their tortures, fires, garrotings, drownings, stabbings, slicings yet evenly smiling as they bleed, burn, drown and die; pray for their tormentors too some of whom turn at a martyr's last breath to say, "and I repent, remorsefully do weep & go with you;" o unhappy Earth, soaring in eternal black & blue, bruised coalition of angry mobs, hellish fires of imagined wrongs burning outside every gate, may Angels assuage thy weary path to new Jerusalem's descending glaze of healing lights, and as we pass from daze to eternal Light, end off these lies, storms, pains and blights, Amen Aeonia, for generations no one learned Your Name; for generations this man's name only has been known, Selah, Alleluia Yahweh, since David no one has said Thy Name so much: Yahweh, Alleluia! Do Arabs say, "Allahluia?"
