Evangelist at Sather Gate
Asserting God-struck truth and speech
He stands before our bronze-bound Gate
Ordained himself by Faith to preach
At college, though he can’t relate.
No reasoned doubt Empirical
Disturbs his present, Revealed, cause
Apocalypse or Miracle,
The world towards Fate divinely draws.
On May two-one we all will end
Or Rapture to a greater gate
That God himself doth staunch defend
Whilst flinging Evils to their fate.
The student lot is sad, alas—
The world ends after Finals pass.
