Hot shot poet ... you spelled performance wrong.
Ever hear of spell check?
(Kidding...)
In an astonishing pronouncement, Dan Rather of CBS News has announced the discovery of a hitherto unknown text, which was discovered by a team of archaeologists frim Turkey. With great difficulty, the stone engravings were copied into plaster of paris, and a reproduction was made in concrete.
With supreme confidence, Mr. Rather provided this translation, reading directly from the facsimile in his hands.
11. Thou shalt honor thy messengers, and trust their pronouncements.
12. Thou shalt render thy loyalty to the Alphas and the Betas of newsbringers, and shall shun the Omegas of them, and if any man say unto you, “My name is Woe, Woe, Woe, hearken to me” then stop up your ears and hearken not to the message.
13. Trust ye the leaders of people who come from the land of the eaters of fish, and turn not to him who comes to you from the desert.
14. Be not doubtful of the man who looks into your eye, but rather, doubt the man who stares into the message scroll with too much intent.
15. Thou shalt not mingle thy affairs with those who come into the street in their nightclothes, for they are only repeating their childish nightmares.
Scholars are still debating the meaning of these new revelations. More at eleven.
