Absolutely no regrets
(from Revelation 13:1-10)
And I saw a beast rising out of the sea with ten horns and seven heads
And a blasphemous name upon its head
And the beast that I saw was like a leopard
Its feet were like a bear's
And its mouth was like a lion's mouth
And to it the dragon gave his power, and his throne, and great authority
One of his heads had a mortal wound
But it seemed to have a mortal wound that was healed
And the whole earth followed the beast with wonder
Men worshipped the dragon for he had given his authority to the beast
And they worshipped the beast saying
"Who is like the beast and who can fight against the beast?"
And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words
And it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months
It opened its mouth to utter blasphemous words against God
(from Revelation 21:1-8)
Then, I saw a new heaven and a new earth
And I heard a great voice from the throne saying:
"Behold the dwelling of God is with men
He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people
And God himself will be with them
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes
And death shall be no more
Neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore
For these things will have passed away
(from Revelation 22:10-13)
And he said to me, he said to me:
"Do not seal up the words of the prophecy, for the time is near
Let the evildoers still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy
And the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy
Behold, I am coming soon
I am the alpha and the omega
The first and the last
The beginning and the end."
AMEN

The Ten Commandments of pagan:p0etry’s space
1. If you have a PRIVATE PROFILE, send a message to me before friend request. Otherwise, I will not accept you.
2. Don’t bother me with ANY KIND OF PETITION: animals, human rights, environment, government... and so on. You’re wasting your time: go out and do something concrete!
3. Do not ask for MSN.
4. If you DON’T COMMUNICATE with me, I will delete you from my friends’ list.
5. If we DON’T HAVE ANYTHING IN COMMON (you can find a short list of my interests on your left), do not ask for being friends only because you like my page as it looks like.
6. AVOID REPEATING THE FRIEND REQUEST several times, it only grates on me. If I don’t accept you once, I will never do.
7. I CHOOSE WHETHER TO APPROVE A COMMENT OR NOT, so don't complain about it.
8. DO NOT TAKE OFFENCE if I don’t reply to you immediatly.
9. If you are looking for SEX, you are wrong. This is not the best place for you.
10. Se sei italiano/a - per cui ‘dovresti’ capire bene quello che sto dicendo - evita di farmi la friend request (o peggio ancora, ai miei amici!) se il tuo unico intento è quello di farti gli affari miei: non sei così furbo come credi. MI FAI SCHIFO.
