Promulgate

Today's word is "promulgate" ... To make known by public declaration, to publish.

What!
As fast as Facebook, that's what we need, something
Instantaneous to get the Word out! The Good News!
That God is first of many and all things, love!
That his kingdom is here and now!

Something as powerful as a pyrotechnic finale!
As enormous as a comet's tail setting fire to the sky
Lighting the night in perpetual bursts of joy,
Promulgating the story far and wide!

Blaring louder than a million megaphoned prophets
Shouting at the top of their lungs ...
"The End is near! And so is the Beginning!
Repent! Open your eyes to the hope of the world!"

As surprizing as a whale breeching next to your canoe,
As amazing as a volcano blowing its extraordinary lid!
As astounding as the big top from the very first row!
This is urgent news we have to tell! Run!
