"The Book According to St Lovejoy 1:3 (Part 1)" 1. 3’s the Number so here we’ll commence I’ll start moving while the non-believers sit on their fence A very little known Chapter, part of a most significant Book all the stories are written with 3 in mind Locked in a cupboard that’s gone missing the big split in the spine indicates it’s unique in it’s position lost in fractured time with stories spilling out between the many pages hidden under a stockpile of thick dust somewhere won’t be missed in antiquity, nowhere but has travelled so far through canals its words cerebral all swimming down a tight viscous river of blood tar out to that Sea, the Ocean Life perpetuating life another chapter arrives into the world screaming, it breathes in this Book there are always 3 for reading, not pleasure, somehow the chapters have all gone missing from the Family Tree. 2. Another Peter became Simon fished the Sea for his mother he had a story in his chapters that required slow then swift delivery defied the story of bittersweet childhood all bottled up with a note, he threw into her ocean but she’d already stepped onto the boat down the Styx River to meet God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Or so she thought. Two fathers missing, two mothers host but 3 is the number that will impresses us the most An unread story, stolen delivery the Peter-Simon Creed Nicene said before sleep to transport him away, the other the piano self-taught played his own keys sang all the pain away both abused not believed seekers of retribution now lost off course by several degrees drowning in misery one was down on his knees LUX VITAE he said, this is my shield he walks through the Light, the Light is his Guide you see the other looks for release past his muster time, walks round and round the sharp corners of his mind, a small locked room lying there supine next to the sea, he edits his story vigorously before he signs his contract by Her Majesty’s Final Decree.

"In forgiveness, there is freedom". In this case anyway. I just wonder how people can forgive the atrocities of terror, eg. ISIS for example. North Korea for example, or children who have been sexually abused and their lives swallowed up or snuffed out like a candle. But in this story, I have written, I believe below applies in all ways.

Matthew 25: 34 – 40 “Then the King will say to those on His right hand, Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me. Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You? And the King will answer and say to them, Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.” (NKJV)

"Simon Peter, also known as Cephas (John 1:42), was one of the first followers of Jesus Christ. He was an outspoken and ardent disciple, one of Jesus’ closest friends, an apostle, and a “pillar” of the church (Galatians 2:9). Peter was enthusiastic, strong-willed, impulsive, and, at times, brash. But for all his strengths, Peter had several failings in his life. Still, the Lord who chose him continued to mold him into exactly who He intended Peter to be."
