His glow of compassion kindles the heart,like a campfire on a cold winter's eve. His embers burn eternally,spreading the flame of mercy like a warm blanket over the shoulders of a vagaband. His kindness is fueled by sympathy for human suffering,but his inferno of righteous cause,incinerates creatures of sin to ash. The torch of his salvation guides wanderes in the dark obyss to freedom. Its flaring sparks float on the winds of change,like soaring birds recently freed from a dreary cage. Laughter explodes forth from the essence of his being,radiating the land with childish joy. He has many names,but for now let it be spoken like melodic music drifting through the air. He's Jake,true indeed...Jake Jeckel.
Emerging from the Dark Carnival like phantom smoke drifting into the minds of men,they are the Amazing Jeckel Brothers. A chaotic duo of juggling masters,Jack "the sinister" and Jake "the just" juggle the sins of mortal men. The price of admission to their show is a mere human soul. When death creeps round and life decays,the deported spirit will begin its journey. A vision of a candle will begin to form like a distant dream with billowing smoke rising from its eternal flame. In this thick haze the deceased will begin to see an image of Jake and Jack Jeckel juggling red balls between themselves. Each ball soaked in fresh blood and pulsating like an errotic living heart. For every sin commited in a mortal's life another ball is added to their unearthly performance and the harder it becomes. The deceased will witness sinister Jack throwing Jake curves in a vile attempt to see a ball drop. For if they should fumble in their act,a pit of infinite evil shall open beneath the feet of the viewer and cast the soul into an eternity of pain and suffering. Success on the other hand,opens the gates of Shangi-La and grants one ascension into pure enlightenment and peace. Jack and Jake Jeckel rest in all of us for they are the very fabric of our being,conscience and soul. There is no escape from their juggling act because there is no way to escape from ourselves. Only in death will we realize this as we "twist and spin to the other side". |
