dark age justice





a note on an earlier post....




============================



  some off site gabblers
want 
me to throw
  a broader longer  beam 
     on this first high church era


the slave based 
real roman era 
  say
        300- to 500 or so....

sorry no sale


  not my fun yard

  try  gibbon 


             the faulty 4th century  synthesis ?

           the bloody sword of imperial rome
                            as the  cross
                                    of constantine ?

                          tedious   blood thirsty
                                         and low
                                  bristling 
                                        
    with sectarian adulterations
                     sanctimonious   frauds                      
                          and official
                                       forgery 


but even so  

i'm sure 
    got to be 
    some nice muslim texts  
-----------------------------------------------------
i'll only make this point:

the romish  spiritual enterprise 
though not a straight
     down the tubes  flunker
survived   en mass 
   only because 
          for  5 or 6 hundred  years
             no one 
both armed and  civilized
  ever really gave 
              a  tinker's shit 
                         about 
              the north by  north west 
                          section of europe 

and this backwater fringe area
got  time 
         to    brew up  
                              a new 
                           celto-kraut 
                             line of    beers  
                             
most  famous labels:
       
                     " st tommy's "               
                            " duns malt  "
                                         " occams ale " 
                        
             ----------------------------------------------                                

             okay okay

              so what if
                 in an act
                             
 of untotured credulity 
                                   and

                                             cowed reverence
                                       these itchy northern  fools 
                                         poured this new lager 
                                             into
                                    that same old 
                                               romish bottles .......
