There Was a Time
There was a time, before Hollywood
fully embraced commercialism – then love
was yet a part of Paramount; before ratings took complete
charge of the Industry's heart – changing sincerity and dearness
to rank commodity – a time when writer's wrote what
one's heart fondly projected...before editors assumed
the roll of Gods: preferring the flashy art
of covers over interior substance –
A time when a poet sang what his
heart instinctively felt and embraced,
unstained by articles of form and alliteration:
A time when God and His Heaven dwelt
among men – He and His angels interacting freely
and openly with creation, daily breathing
new Light and joy into earth's blossoming
spirit. A time before Satan's Editors seized
the throne of man's heart – fouling
his skies and waters
with Heretical Council.
