In that Same Spot

Brother Ocey Rucker

On the exact spot where you pitched your revival tent 60 years ago

On the exact spot where you railed about Gog and Magog-America and China and the fires of heaven that will destroy them

On the same spot where you extolled Catholic priests and Jewish Rabbis to climb their roofs and shout” Jesus is Coming any day now.”

In that same dusty lot, where your beautiful wife gave a preview of perdition with ultraviolet black lights dancing off a chalk picture of a city skyline.

In that lot, where you vented against... 

Lusty fornicators-who live only for pleasure 

Mad men and wicked women who have turned their backs on God Almighty

The Beatles who are surely mentioned in Revelations 9:7

The Beats

Cigarettes smokers

Drinkers

The Communist Red Chinese

Infidels

In that same lot, where sixty years ago, you raised your hoarse voice and screamed

“repent the end is near!!!

This is the last night on earth!!!”

In that same lot...they built a fucking Walmart.
