poem by Joshua Brown
When I wrote to you
O Epiphanes,
I wrote not of clut,
The wild west,
Or soulless smut.
When I sent to you
The gift giv'n
I sent not the stone,
The isop pen,
Or broken wishbone
Luck to you Epiphanes!
Lucy blows lovely kisses.
This I write to you,
O congregation:
These parables spoke by you
The unholy, disallowed generation
Parroted in power, to children
Their ears open to, not you
But your propaganda soaked
Kerosene rags,
Ready to be lit and cast
Into the hollowed shell of
David's United Kingdom
An arsonic bellow
Preserved by heaven's psyop
Against your demonic impulse
The deep ocean of your
Hard-hearted violence
Chosen in adulthood
Against the child
Against your child
Against you, child
Against the Holy Child
Will be crushed by the glorious
Indefatigable will
Of the Angel
Sent unto you now
Across time
But in this moment
For if ye
Though ministers
And angels
And kings
And prophets
And soothesayers
And teachers
And storytellers
And poets
And all manner of fathers
Repent not
Of your demonic repentance
And return not
To betray the tyrants
That betrayed you,
Then will heaven itself
Cast its spell upon you
And turn you from stone,
This pillar of salt,
Which God allowed,
As Merciful and Holy
Blessed be His Name,
Into a mortal man
Forgotten by the angels
Forgotten by the old man, Time
Forgotten by the graveyard
Forgotten by the graveyard worms
Forgotten by the children
Who use your melodic syntax
To form accelerationist sentences
The BITFD spirits, ghosts roaming
Casting their Molotov cocktails
Over your forgotten body.
O congregation!
O Epiphanes!
O congregation!
O Epiphanes!
Scrawl quickly now
Your own confession.
A complaint bring not.
For God will not hear your murmuring.
His ears are shut.
For there is no God,
Only metaphors for the Divine Truth
Found by men of Virtue
For God cannot be seen by animals
Nor by men.
For God is alive and we have resurrected Him.
Hear O congregation!
Hear O Epiphanes!
Hear O Blessed Theotokos!
Call not on I AM for unholy pleasures.
Call on the Still Small Voice IN mean:
Patience
Bravery
Kindness
Purity
Affection
Cleanliness
Organization
Fervor
Peace
Strength
No longer dwell among the superstitious
Who hear these words, repeat them ill
And seize power against The Child
And crucify, betray, judge, condemn
The eggs that they themselves fertilized
Upon the marriage bed in free will
Petty tyrants that murmur against
Tyranny.

Thanks for reading "The Epiphanes Letter" which was written in Denver, Colorado, United States, North America on January 21, 2023 on RTD trains E and A. Check out my last prose/poetry entitled "Creche Set Collectionism" which is a reflection on modern Walmartian Christianity as I personally have experienced it in America.

But honestly, thanks for being here and reading! All of us are on different journeys to peace, many of us have seared our consciences for a long time and are still a hard difficult path away from being in a place to add health and cheer to the world, so don't mistake my challenge as a condemnation. Thank you sincerely for being here and I wish all my readers the best!
