REVELATION!!! (VOICE NOTE FROM YOUR GOOD GOD)

LISTEN, KID -

I THOUGHT YOU WANTED THIS.

ISN’T IT SO WONDERFUL? YOUR

DREAMS DREAMED OF YOU!!!

YOU PROMISED ME YOU COULD

HANDLE THIS! DON’T YOU KNOW

STARS THAT BURN BRIGHTEST

TEND TO DIE YOUNG? PEOPLE

WOULD KILL FOR JUST A SLICE

OF THIS *GESTURES AROUND*

AND ALL THIS, IT’S ALL YOURS

(NOT THAT I CONDONE MURDER

BECAUSE FAMOUSLY I DO NOT

BUT SINCE WE’RE TALKING

ABOUT DYING, OH FORGET IT)

LOOK, KID.

YOU KNOW HOW THIS GOES.

I TOLD YOU A HUNDRED TIMES-

ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE,

AND OH BOY DID YOU RECEIVE IT

SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND AND

AND OH BOY DID YOU FIND IT

SEE, KID?

I LOVE YOU. WE ALL DO. LOOK AT YOU.

WHO COULDN’T? YOU’RE YOUNG AND

YOU’RE LOVELY AND YOU’VE GOT ME

ON YOUR SIDE. I KNOW WHAT YOU

WANT AND I KNOW WHAT IS BEST

FOR YOU AND I KNOW YOU KNOW

THEY’RE NOT THE SAME THING.

KID, I’LL GIVE YOU THIS. YOU’RE

DAMN GOOD AT PRAYING. YOU

MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY NO.

AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH,

AND DWELT AMONG US. SOMETIMES

THE POEMS WRITE THEMSELVES.
