Dramatic Monologue


He said I had the "wrong end of the stick",

Ha! so young, what did he know?

I'll tell you what I know,

God is Fullness of Being and in Him the End is the Beginning.

That is why I'm going straight to heaven.

I don't believe in this

"if God is Complete Knowledge then He is Complete Non-Motion" Mumbo-Jumbo.

"I am the Resurrection and the Life," that's what He said.

Yet, Jack insisted on his philosophy that

Life is Motion toward Knowledge.

Therefore, if there is such a God of Fullness of Being we would be worshiping Death.

It made sense I must admit.

I just replied that he only thought Finitely.

He continued to argue,

I suppressed my hearing.

A religious man on his way out could not be corrupted with these controversial thoughts!

and God is not mocked!


Then he comes interrogating me,

asking all about the past when I was a sinful man.

But I have put that time away.

He thinks his job is to tell the truth,

He is just a pawn, a pawn in Governor Stark's game.

Foolishness and Foulness I say!

Ah,but what can I do?

Jack, I will pray for your soul.
