Sneer 4:5-10

“Our names up here are too smart for your ear, but for short call me XKGL”

With his hand of fire he pulled me to the stone; with his staff he bowed my head,
Red oil flowed thickly past my feet, raising icy sparks of dread.

“GREAT ARE YOUR AMAZEMENTS LORD”

The gloss of the stone flowed to matte and soft, large pieces flaked off to the floor,
They roared and they burned as they soaked up with oil;

“YOUR WISDOM IS ABOVE ALL”

XKGL’s staff laid me low, with a violent attack; to the grit and the slime on the ground,
a glowing red coal roaring into my eyes; a sharp spitting and cackling sound.

With laughter at fear, and an old rearview mirror, XKGL scooped that coal into my mouth,

He yelled at me “CHEW!, CHEW!, CHEW!” but my jaw remained static.

“GREAT ARE YOUR HUMILIATIONS LORD”
