Saint Bajunkajunk

      She could see the great cities burning from the wide penthouse window.
Her family had been selected to live in the orditing satilite: Metropolis. They
would not walk on land again. The barbarians had destroyed all earthly hope
for peace. "God why do you stay our hand? The heavy burden of your law
will not let us stain our hands with blood." she wept as she prayed.

      "It is the purity of our soul that makes us strong. We are safe here in
our Metropolis." Her husband comforted. He raised his glass of red wine and
drank, then gave her to drink. "But, what of my sister Bajunkajunk? She is
trapped below with the barbarians." she gazed frantically into her husbands
eyes. "She is with the kingdom of endless ages; when shall we all come
and appear before God." he kissed her gently on the cheek.

      Below in the burning city Saint Bajunkajunk raised up an army with the sword,
"Though we are from a world of peace. It is proof we are good soldiers of heavenly
Wisdom in defence of our good people!" She cut a strong hold in the mountains.
The barbarians cursed her, "Bloody Bajunkajunk." "Let this village be under the
protection of Bajunkajunk. If any invade it, let them overcome Bajunkajunk first!"
her words were like thunder claps. That reached up to the great orbiting
Metropolis.

    Her sister Placidis was full of sorrow, "Can we call my sister home after she
has stained her hands with blood? How will I ever embrace my beloved Bajunkajunk?"
"The Lord of judges rejoices ten times over when one sinner repents. I will go into
the dwelling of Bajunkajunk and ask for her return." so spoke her husband Muzzy.
The sauser ship was launched with a choir hymn, "Let the moon be in the seventh
house of love with Mars embraced by Venus' gentle graces."

    Muzzy guided his vessel slowly over and into the domain of Bajunkajunk. "You
have sacrificed much my beloved Bajunkajunk. Your sister waits for you in the
city of peace: Metropolis." he reached out to her and was shackled. "I have made
a Heaven of this Hell! All thoughs who suffer under the whip come to my
Bajunkajunk! Now, we will seize Metropolis!" The saucer was small only Muzzy
and Bajunkajunk could fit in.

Upon their arrival, a great multitude gathered to greet the mighty Bajunkajunk.
Her sister Placidis ran to embrace her. The Saint turned toward her with a
sword, "With this sword I have made a new nation. Will you submit to Bajunkajunk?"
Placidis kissed Bajunkajunk on both cheeks, "Your blood lust has driven you mad.
We are not cowards. We only wish to live in peace." "You and your people are
welcome here. Do not shed anymore blood." Muzzy pleaded and knelt shakled
before Bajunkajunk.

"Then I will make good use of your Metropolis. The Glory of God must be fought
for! What is a Heaven for?" Bajunkajunk proclaimed. In a short time the city of
peace was a fortress an rained missles down apon the barbarians. Placidis looked
down apon the burning cities and wondered when the fires would be put out;
"When will they ever learn? Our kingdom is not of this world."
