Geometric Allegory

The vines brought forth the fruit of man,

And the men fought over them,

Spilling blood and forsaking the promise of the Father. 

In doing so, they knowingly put their brothers in perilous danger,

And they deceived their children and damned themselves,

For something unclean cannot sit at the table.

In time, their children will grow to be men,

And these men will serve no other God but themselves. 

The Lord God showed me that I was such a man from such a place,

And I knew I could not leave the vineyard because I owed a debt. 

I said to The Lord God, “I do not know you,

But I have heard of your son who was a man like I am,

But made perfect and pure. 

I have heard that you gave him to this world

So that we might be saved because you made Him perfect,

And he cannot serve the wickedness of man’s will. 

You only needed to do this once because he has ascended to heaven,

And he will bring us with him to you

So that we might leave this field,

Without him of which there is no hope.” 

The Lord God heard my words,

And he pointed me toward a mountain

Upon which a mighty flame burned,

And I dropped to my knees and understood.

The Lord God took a cluster of poisoned grapes

And set them into me, and for two years

I carried their weight in my vessel.

And The Lord God said to me that I had fed from such fruit,

And I understood and hung my head in shame and watched.
