The Mourning God
Have i payed my dues to the Mourning God?...Yes i have. I've confronted him and gave him all of the worship, fear, and offerings he's asked for. He's a hard son of a bitch to please. However, at times he lets me be. He steps back for a day here and there and gives me a day of sunshine and gummy bears. I used to hate the bastard!! But the more I give him after his initial summoning the more he'll back off later. Conversely, more I ignore him and the more I pretend he's not there the longer he'll stay...and if one is not careful he'll set up permanent residence. If this occurs you might as well set up a nice little shrine to his younger brother, Lord of Bitterness. But back to me.... I've done all there is to do for him.. I've contemplated him, wrote poetry for him, witnessed to my peers of his greatness and power, and sometimes I even give him praise and admiration for his constant struggle to make me want more out of life. Is he my friend, my bud....nope. He is my companion though, and when he deserves a day I'll put it on the alter of sanity. He then proceeds to pat me on the head and wish me luck for the next day. The mourning God doesn't get drunk and forget he's supposed to be a a certain address... you'll never drink, smoke, ignore, or simply wish him out of your life. He'll wait semi-patiently for you to fall to your knees and pay him homage. It's not that he's a power hungry God. He's an appetite, a force of nature, a formula that if ignored will give no answer or resolution. So plug in your variables...this is simple math.
