Arriving in luxury, Happiness is his message.
Tickling ears, selfies, 'see mees';... really gurgitates my stomach.
Hell has been perfumed beyond recognition.
People are desperate, the time is urgent,
Eternity is at stake.
Quit with Mr. Media already, do what you were called to do.

I can't know if you're intending this, but the words seem directed at me. The ship on the wind and waves (HMS Intrepid?), the username, the signature in red. All relevant. So whether through intent or not, it's really the same question: What do your words actually mean? What is Preacher Boy called to do? Did I not come back to the internet forum? Am I not speaking? Is this not good enough? Am I supposed to just, start walking?

If you don't know what I'm talking about, you can still answer the question and it would be relevant.

John I don't even know you and have hardly read your posts.
My avatar (ship) has been there from around July, The username since around 2012 as well as the signature in red.
Please don't take it personal..because it isn't directed to any single person, especially you.

Understand. I hope you don't take what I asked negatively; I certainly didn't mean for it to be understood in any negative way. I ask only in relation to myself. Think of it like this: imagine one night you are praying, and your window is open. It's quiet outside all night, and you pray "Things seem to be telling me to go somewhere to start a new job. But I'm not sure. Would you tell me where should I go?" and right then, you hear a distant voice (not speaking to you, but someone probably with them) shout "You're asking me? You're wanting me to tell you? Just go to the Bahamas, already!" then a few dogs barking in the distance. You understand how a person may look toward the window and go "Okay. That was odd."?

It's somewhat the same here, just a little different. Only you're the guy shouting your words in the distance. So I stick my head out the window and shout "What is that supposed to mean?" If you want to tell me what the words meant, that's fine. If not, that's fine, too. Your profile just happens to be significant to me. So I thought, even if you weren't intending it, maybe there's something for me in them. But I don't fully get the meaning.

Again, I hope you didn't take my question in a negative light, it wasn't meant that way.

I don't usually explain my poems but this one is kind of obvious and it may help you if I do.

It is simply a rant directed to the modern hip preacher/pastor who is more in it for himself and playing to the camera and wealth than being true to his calling of warning the sheep and being a godly example...that is all.
