Nunc Damnittis

Nῦν ἀπολύεις τὸν δοῦλόν σου, δέσποτα, κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου, ἐν εἰρήνῃ,
ὅτι εἶδον οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου τὸ σωτήριόν σου,
ὃ ἡτοίμασας κατὰ πρόσωπον πάντων τῶν λαῶν,
φῶς εἰς ἀποκάλυψιν ἐθνῶν καὶ δόξαν λαοῦ σου ᾿Ισραήλ.
Nunc dimittis servum tuum, Domine, secundum verbum tuum in pace:
Quia viderunt oculi mei salutare tuum
Quod parasti ante faciem omnium populorum:
Lumen ad revelationem gentium, et gloriam plebis tuae Israel.
Now, O Lord, lettest thou thy servant
PISS and MOAN about the EVIL BASTARDS
That rule in DC

For mine eyes have seen
TWO FUCKING MAJOR QUAGMIRES
Vietnam
and
Iraq
In one lifetime

How long, O Lord
Will you allow these
UNUTTERABLY FOUL FUCKERS
To draw breath
Taking precious oxygen from human beings
Whose world they infest?

Your people await your answer.
