Poem
Jackaroozapoo — You Don’t Say? Someone or even something conceived or made that’s associated with pure utter nonsense can be indeed quite real and tangible to those who choose to believe in this particular type of reality and swear by its innate veracity, and its certain supernatural attributes and qualities in being able to shape ultimately the life and fortunes of others who cry out loudly to be really heard and respectfully listened to. One must learn to swim so swiftly and deeply through all of the quizzical blather in this world of what we all tend to think and call simply as “This Life,” whilst realizing in the end that divine revelation may indeed be the very revolution and the strategic impetus that mankind needs and must have to find its collective soul and its true relationship to Almighty God. It’s better, of course, that mankind stays within the grace and glory of God, rather than choose the terrible fury and the wretched spirit of debauchery and the true evil that the Devil revels in as he constantly seeks to tempt and deceive each and every one of us away from the all-merciful Kingdom of God, where His Light, Love, Happiness and Compassion truly reign supreme in His Name. If “Old Hob” should, for whatever reason, choose to come your way in this life, I say, to you to be bold, forthright, fear him not, and be sure to tell him: Jackaroozapoo — You Don’t Say? This is a uniquely coded way of telling Old Hob, “Nonsense — You Don’t Say?” And tell him also, “In the Lord God’s Name,” “I pray now that it is time for you to leave this Earth of ours Oh Evil-Dark Spirit, and to take with you all of your deception, defamation, shameful acts, and debauchery post-haste back to Hell from whence you came! And then, as I smile, and say once again: “In the Lord God’s Name.” And, always fear not, and be both brave and resolute in all that you do in this life, and this is exactly, as the French say. . . comme il faut. Amen! Amen! And never forget this emphatic question: “Jackaroozapoo — You Don’t Say?” And now, Old Hob, with this you be sure to have a really terrible day! And, the only other thing I shall finally say is: Goodbye and Good Riddance Forever! Gary Bateman, Copyright © All Rights Reserved October 14, 2018 (Narrative) Author’s Note: I really like the narrative of this poem and the uplifting message it leaves with the reader. “Jackaroozapoo,” by the way, is the key word for this particular poem. And, it is a word I actually made up myself in the English language to capture the readers’ attention relevant to this theme. I do hope that the “Official English Lexicographers” have a sense of humor about this. I do!
