He walked the famed strip of Vegas engulfed, drowning, feeling
imprisoned by its flashing, blinking, glittering facades, temples to the
Gods who falsely promise of instant wealth, communions and baptisms of
cash held round black jack and poker tables or round the wheel of
roulette or shooting in the pits crap. Wafers of the saviors flesh
replaced by plastic chips and his blood, the wine, devilishly transmuted
to cheap bourbon, cheaper vodka and rancid, cigarette smoke infused
beer, to further blind the already desperate and morally bankrupt.
Surrounded by fake teeth smiling, phony breasts bouncing, screaming out
from vomit and urine stained sidewalks, lies of fulfillment packaged as
lust, greed and gluttony, he thought, "What a perfect Mecca, a fitting
Vatican for capitalism's hollow dreams and promises, The worship of
matter and flesh, before LOVE and spirit". With that thought, a wave of
deepest depression washed over him, but then came that familiar soothing
silent voice that was always there to guide him through these moments
of sorrowful doubt, "For one to truly remember and become once more all
that LOVE is, one must stop worshiping at the altars of all that one is
not."
