Alpha and Omega, but more Omega than Alpha

The Book of Barak

Chapter 1

1. And on the Two million two hundred eighty one thousandth and first day, was Barak created.
2. And thus was he seen as alright.
3. And thus was it said that Barak has been created.
4. And thus was it said that in this Barak is given all wisdom, knowledge, and celebrity status
5. Yea, he shall lead his people, and shall show them the error of my ways
6. And the mantle of the world shall be upon his shoulders, and his fuzzy little head
7. And he shall be called negotiator and community organizer
8. Yea, verily, and even shall he be called presidential nominee
9. For many shall celebrate him, and shall faint at his presence
10. He shall proclaim, behold!
11. And as they behold, they shall hear his chants of change
12. Yea, the children of the world shall hear such chants, and shall give wonder at the meaning of these chants
13. Nevertheless, notwithstanding such wonderings, they shall say what meaneth these changing chants of change, which chants I like, albeit I know not why
14. Verily, let us go down from the mountains, and from the hills and the valleys, and the organized communities
15. Yea, let us go down to this community organizer who chants for change
16. Verily, let us chant with him for change, even to the chanting of change
17. Let us touch the very television screen from which his chants of change emanate, that perchance we might feel of this change of which he chants
18. Behold and yea, let us lift him even unto the seat of the president, and proclaim his diety to those unbelieving of the elephant persuasion; yeah even before the houses of government
19. Yea, let us paint the lips of swine
20. Yeah, let us sit with those who seek to destroy us, that we might console our souls with such sittings
21. Yea, let us raise taxes unto he who chants change, that we might bring low those who do actually create change.
22. And on the next day, well...
