Richard Edward Rhoades: "Prophet"

TEKEL TEKEL

I don't have to worry, cuz I gots my Shield of Faith
And for everything I preach, I have a Lord thus Saith
-
And besides besides, I divide the Word
Revelation's not for us, that Book is so absurd
-
I follow Dusty Rhoades, the Prophet for all time
A preacher of "the truth", and wisdom so sublime
-
Come and join my Fellowship*, be a Rhoades's Toad
be holy holy holy...drink from our commode
