no minor keys in his scale, it's all

that he will not le heard, he pounds
the seat with his list, or stamps his
feet. He wades right through the
ear drums of all about him. Yes,
he thinks the Lord is deaf. And
meantime, his hearers suffer.

to think he is Heaven's information

a detailed account of the doings of
the community, of the physicial,

He tells the Lord what they all
need, and how to bring it to pass.
He asks for everything imaginable,
