The Golden Calf
In Five Days God Created the Heavens and the Earth.
And on the Sixth Day, God created Man. And he saw that it was very good. And on the Seventh Day he rested.
And on the Eighth Day, Man created MTRdestroying the Mountainand all that lived in the Mountainand filling the Valleywith what remained of the desecrated Mountainso that there was left no more life in the Stream.
And though Jesus once walked through the Valley of the Shadow of Deathon the Eighth Day there was no Valley. But Death was Everywhere. And though he had delivered his first Sermon on the Mounton the Eighth Day there was no Mount. And though he had fed the five thousand with loaves and fisheson the Eighth Day no fishes were left in the Stream.
And False Prophets arose preaching False Doctrine and Dominion of Man over the Earth to justify their Destruction and led many astray and were like the Five Foolish Virgins who foolishly used up all their Oil so that when the Master returned their Lamps were useless. And they ran to the Five Wise Virgins who had saved their Resources [End Page 118] and used them wisely so that their Lamps lit the way for the Master's Return.
And the Foolish Virgins begged them for Oil but the Wise Virgins refused saying "This Oil is for the Master's Return."
So the Five Foolish Virgins through Cunning and Deceit lobbied the Corrupt Politicians saying "We must have Oil for the Good of The Country in this time of War." And they bribed the Corrupt Politicians And they forced the Five Wise Virgins to hand over their Oil and their Land and their Homes.
And there arose a Great Darkness in the Land And a Great Cry went up throughout West Virginia and all the Land: "Why did we allow the Foolish Virgins, the Coal Companies with their Drag Lines and Big Machines and Corrupt Politicians in their Pockets, to deceive us?"
But, yea, it was Too Late. And in Darkness and with many Tears,Man bowed down to worship the Golden Calf he had created on the Eighth Day.
