My doc is about to hit 19000 words. Maybe I could still publish if I claim the editor's version more polished than the Neocities release. With a bit of Marketing magic, maybe I could be convinced to buy that which I myself should do for free: writing.

Still, a book's only worth buying if it's helpful. Some authors claim that morals are unnessecary for a good story, but if morals aren't there then what else should a story convey? Write is right, what are you writing? Well this here's enough rambling from me. God be with.

Wait, nevermind. I'm back for more. Growing up, I wanted to be a Youtuber... a gaming Youtuber. So like, share, and subscribe if you wish to see more. Bleh, it's corporate jargon now, but back then, we really meant it. For any creator, it's edifying, knowing that something you made could have affected someone positively in some way. It's a shame that those days, the 2010s, have passed to corporate plans.

It's not like corporations are inherently bad though. It's just the way things are. A creation starts off good, but time corrupts as the Devil gets his hands in it. Every "evil" corporation today started with a good mission. One may probably guess why they removed those missions from their portfolio. When one no longer has to be responsible to what they promised under God, they can just do whatever they want.

Nothing lasts forever though, and, I'll confess that I wait with a bit of excitement for the day when the major companies of my day collapse. When they go down, I wonder who shall go up. Same companies, same things, but if we get something new, then we'll have new companies and new things. This should be all now. I've got to eat, since it's St. Peter and Paul's feast day. God be with.

Assembled furniture with my Pa today. Wasn't too bad. I'm just mad because I think Instagram's causing me to lose a bunch of brain cells. There's got to be demons attached to that platform. Never again. I'd rather work a regular job than be Internet famous. This place is cool though.

Update not showing because I've been publishing too late. Another interim poem has been released. Didactic, in that I pray it's a useful instruction. 52.02 - On Submitting Flesh and Heart to God

Oh, and since I don't like extraneous interpretations, I'll just leave why I wrote it in the comments. https://thelesserword.neocities.org/Poetry-Pages/Volume-2/52.02

Was a dummy. Just figured out that Disquis comments require page identifiers so the comments don't get pasted to every page. Thank God I caught that

Short one this time. Instagram might have ruined affirmational poetry for me, but I like these lines. Scrolling through that site makes me feel like an enemy of the whole church though if we're going by what I think: Protestants, Catholics, the whole world. Sometimes I feel that the reason why there's so many athiest today is because Christians now are practically athiest by the Latin, "Without God, godless."

I'll comment on the page. I keep clicking "Comment" and losing what I meant to say.

New chapter out: A Tale of Babel (X). I've been updating too late recently, so the thumbnails are off. Description of the chapter is on the page.

Before midnight update. I decided to write this tribute after reading from about a miracle from one of the parish libraries. There are sensitive groups in this world who hate the Faith, but it doesn't matter how they feel, since it's our duty to pray for our enemies anyways.
Even if they use the same trick of betraying God to bow to idol-worshipping authorities to deliver the faithful up for death, well there's a point missing from a lot of modern (read also, athiest) Christians today. No matter how one is healed, if one healed is called to die for Christ, then they must die for love of God, and love for those wishing to execute them.
Zooming through this piece, it almost makes me weep inside over how far Christianity has devolved from its roots. The Catholic Church still retains its sanity, but I live in the States, so watching Christians here is like watching a bunch of sheep led around by a wolf they forgot ate their cousins.
When I speak of this sheep, I speak of those outside of Catholicism, most specifically Rapture-believing Evangelicals and their heresies (check what rhymes in the blanks of this poem). On this, honestly, the solution's the same for the wolves. Pray, pray, pray. We could spend our whole lives nagging about those who hate us, but the only way to fight them is oro et laboras: pray and work.
Now, it's two minutes from midnight. I will rest. God be with you all.
