Great Pan is not dead; he simply emigrated to India.

~ Sujata Bhatt, “A Different History”

“And he shall rule them with a rod of iron” ~ KJV, Revelation 2:27

When Pan returns from exile in the East,

Long banished there by Christ upon his cross,

We all will feel less panicky.  At least

We will if we’re not Christians.  Sent across

The continents by Resurrection in

Jerusalem, triumphant Pan will come again,

His Second Coming caused by Christians’ sin

Against all decency.  He’ll come with STEN

To punish priests and Popes because of what

They do to choirboys; how the Christians vote

For tRUMP and total evil, causing glut

Of hatred and expanding evil’s bloat.

  The empires made of iron and clay will fall

    When Great Pan’s stone destroys and makes them sprawl.
