Ft. Nicholas

Ft. Nicholas I was living just outside of Fort Nicholas one of the very strong holds of hell they built it high on a mountain even higher than I can tell but I don't think it was high enough to escape the rancid smell of the blood that filled the valleys from those who tripped and fell so I climbed up on the rooftops and this is what I yelled: 'what is worse the golden calf on Mt Sinai or reindeer in the sky our children walk in a place darker than the darkest night some in the name of the Lord think he delights in lies that's what the devil is for' now I cannot tell you why they keep this fortress so close in their hearts and in their minds and I tried so hard to warn them but everybody just walks on by leaving me and my warning in the dust and far behind no one even paid attention until the first commandment was mentioned then they through me out because they preferred their world of deception I heard them laugh all over town now I walk alone with truth in heaven knowing that the walls of Jericho came down and I am in no hurry to make that final lap around I love so many inside so I sat down and I cried and cried how I wish they would all just walk away so that this false God could finally lay down and die
