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.

For sure: the Devil, Evil, in themselves are only words. We deal with the reality on the ground. Insane men and women who think they know.
