SEVEN POTPOURRI SONNETS TO WESTERN POP STARS (this is NOT a Funeral for a Friend)

In the memory of Joe Dassin

They have a saying in Chicago: 'Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, the third time its enemy (friend?) action.' (After Ian Fleming) toile, o et pourquoi vas-tu O powerful, western mortally fallen star! dans cette nuit immense? - After Walt Whitman - Daprs Alfred de Musset Oh, what a tangled World Wide Web we weave when first we practice to ourselves deceive. Es fllt ein WestStern herunter - After Sir Walter Scott Aus seiner funkelnden Hh'! To have the people instructed - Nach Heinrich Heine To live more virtuously, And to learn to know of men the manner, And the third angel sounded, And also to know God their Maker, And there fell a great star from heaven. Which as yet live all beastly; - Revelation 8:10 For they neither know God nor the devil, We have also a more sure word of prophecy; Nor never heard tell of heaven nor hell, whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, Writing nor other scripture; as unto a light that shineth in a dark But yet, in the stead of God almighty place, until the day dawn, and the day star They honor the sun for his great light, arise in your hearts. For that doth them great pleasure. - II Peter 1:19 - John Rastell (1512-19)

I Jesus ... am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star (Revelation 22:16) Seeing souls perishing inside my heart is breaking, nobody wants to live forever, all do the things they want and think their death be never, but a show must go on. Great many thanks to Freddie and to Queen, by that I now mean my own Christian life extravaganza, let God be on our thoughts-running dancer. Michael, Janet, Natalie, Hes our true and gentle Father unforgettable, Whod like to give us the everlasting life entirely unregrettable. Mon Dieu, si Tu nexistais pas, How could I see ma bonne toile - the hope star? Bob, Robbie, Depeche Mode, by dropping sad voluntary and death-bringing violations of the ethic law (embedded in our souls by thoughtful God) we are to be the champions with no deviations. Stevie, Vanessa, Guns n'Roses, Enrique, Heaven is not 10 zillion light years away, it is your very soul where ye can easily find a there way, Pink Floyd, Kylie, Tony, Natalie, the kinky flesh-potsy lie of education well avoid if the dimmy wall of sins is heavily destroyed. Kris, Barbra, there should be lost inside of me and you (please, an amazing view, watch closely now) the evergreen to Good, to Truth and Beauty urge, the hourly wow. KISS, ABBA, Jennifer, killing oneself by buying hell for liaison and greedy money The Who, Eminem, Aerosmith, - do you truly think it's really so extremely funny? Deep Purple, Dire Straits, Guano Apes, the real Highway Star is our Heaven Tsar, Led Zeppelin, U2, Tim, Andrew and all Cast, there cant be superopera too much Heaven on their minds, nothing is fixed and we can change it now, the only Stairway to paradise is suffering but merciful Lord Jesus Christ.

Chris, Nazareth, Chris, Christina, Chris, ye've once acquired His last and early name, Chris, now it's time for all of us to seek for getting crowned with His eternal fame. AC/DC, Slade, Rolling Stones, by no means a sweet and loyal friend is mister demon Sweet, Eagles, - if not dismissed he will present ye a non-stop torments bitter lemon, Alice, HIM, Marilyn, his majesty king Arthur wasn't so superdevil-in, Suzi, Creedence, The Beatles, John and George being remembered, Lucy in the sky with diamonds still in Hair's space is walking; but there will be no final winning in, with the Decreased and Resurrected, fight of no meaning, Elton, Eric, Billy, as ye I believe in love and remember when rock was young, friends, please, leave the witches'n'wizards' gang, and never say to them goodbye, let be with ye forgiving God of mine. Galt, Gerome, James, the Heavenly Divine is beautiful eternal wine and lovely lavish gift of God to us, including Cast, - kids crying, Demis, Julio, Natalia, c'est justement le doux souvenir plus beaux. Gloria, Madonna, Whitney, don't tell me, the stars, only like the Virgin wives fine, gentle and with broken hearts - they to the Eden go. Poison, Garbage, Atomic Kitten, so many books've been written full of waste, most of them are toxic to one's taste; the world is not enough to pay for just a single soul died, there is no point to die for, in hellish and eternal flame, a future endless cry. Black Sabbath, Liza, Neneh, Radiohead, The Cure, I can see clearly now the truth and beauty of the soul-healing greatest hit - the Orthodoxy Gospel, cette vraie fleur, Ricky, Uriah Heep, A-Ha, return from minor fantasy to major heaven-offering earth, Mireille, Celine, Patricia, please, do not suspect il joue avec mon coeur. Smokie, Red Hot Chili Peppers, we'd have easily stopped to call-it-fornication, Udo, Die Prinzen, Rammstein, wir knnen auch doch ein Schwein in dieser Welt natrlich sein, but after all the conscience won't endure self-justification. BeeGees, Santana, Bryan, Scorpions, the real happy life begins with God-sent dying, Joe, Metallica, Bon Jovi, Oasis, No Doubt, it also means our souls' soil vivifying killing while we are here living and loving God's commandments are fulfilling. Rainbow, Pretenders, He'll stand by you and me, if we repent and try to do no evil. Remember, please, what in the Gospel "Jesus answering said unto them, ... those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish" (Luke 13:2,4,5). And most of them, not wishing to confess, in fact poignantly got dead Toto, Andriano, Eros, - when Titus' Roman Army in 70 A.D. besieged Jerusalem and all their land. Tom, Tina, Dido, neither angel nor human being can be saving us but incarnate God's free-will agonizing crucifixion and every our moment's help He mercifully does. Yes, Lenny, Moby, Tony, life is not interminable playing the beautiful guitar nobody will escape the giving an account on it to our Heaven Tsar. Cher, Spices, Britney, Alicia, somebody dies sometimes, will he or she be comfortably met with paradise?

Mylene, que pouvons-nous attendre dans la fin? Nobody could release from hell an unrepentant libertin. Roxette, Sting, Sinead, Sophie, salvation is true faith inspiration, sincere confession and not for show unhypocritical good deeds bright constellation. Doors, Mariah, The Cardigans and any other, check it yourselves with a daily small undoubting prayer to give ye a correct and proper soul-saving answer whether really God exists and where the true religion is, and certainly we'll heal the soul cancer! As an example, the daily prayer words might be like these, just say: LORD, IF YOU EXIST, TEACH ME YOUR WAY. Besides, the SERAPHIM ROSE-written book THE SOUL AFTER DEATH will definitely give you a refreshing air breath. The Levellers, Anastacia, there's only one way of life, and that's, while living for the others, to forget oneself and for oneself to die. As to the real freedom it's in one's liberating from the own evil and in enslaving to kind deeds. Johnny, Genesis, Ace of Base, Sarah, of course, those are a genuine happy nation, who seek for their soul salvation. So, friends, goodbye, I lose control, at least I've tried; it's pain when anybody's soul's died. Forgive me, please, the inescapable omissions, permanent play on words and not so usual definitions. Olivias goodbye again, i.e. God be with ye, a woman and a man; believe or not, thats no game: Dianas endless love (for ones neighbor and for our God) is a safe and priceless gain, The Osmonds saying at last the final word, where could I go but to the Lord.

THE PREACHOLOGY SONNET

God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that He is Lord of heaven and earth, ... not ... is worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed any thing, seeing He give it to all life, and breath, and all things; and hath made of one blood all nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after Him, and find Him, though He be not far from every one of us; for in Him we live, and move, and have our being... Forasmuch then as we are the offspring

of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all man every where to repent: because He hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by That Man Whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hath raised Him from the dead. The Acts of the Apostles, 17:24-31

"What is the truth?" - Pilate has asked (John 18:38). He should have said: "Who's that?" You too perhaps think with the vicious habits you'll survive, but if you don't quit your soul for eternity will die. There is the only way to cure a situation and with success achieve the soul salvation the really rotten self sincere condemnation and God's commandments observation. As to the holy and unchanging Truth it's Jesus Christ, He's our only possible and certain path to paradise, He'll grant us the endless joyful life after the evil of our souls will irretrievably have died. Thank God we're still alive but some day certainly shall die - in hell the mournful cry or in heaven the happy voice is our own on this very earth inevitable choice.
