GOD

In the dead of the winter in the dead of night In the middle of nowhere with no life in sight It came out of the sky like a streak of daylight An insensible Deity here to witness our plight

Not a presence to see yet surely one to behold Never was It young nor ever would It be old It knew all that we were in the blink of an eye It seen who we killed and it seen how we lied

It examined our wars our petty little fights All our measley disputes since our ancient nights All our vengeful acts and our spiteful deeds It scrutinized the ways our fragile Mother bleeds

It weighed everything in then It spewed it all out It was sickened by what we had come to now It had planted us here such a long time ago To be raised as soldiers against an unknown foe

Vicious, mindless hordes were we bred to be But It sensed compassion-at least to some degree So It had to dismiss us regretfully We just weren't fit to serve our destiny

In disgust It fled to Its next farmland Such a futile effort this harvest of man Without even a thought It mushroomed this place Pity we weren't a more noble race ARTS Ronny Watt FISHER SHEFFIELD'S EPILOGUE by Terry Grogan PART SEVEN: Then I wiped the sweat out of my you, if you keep shooting it into stood up, leaned across the dis- except for the pale little white eyes, dragging my forearm across your cock." tance separating us, and put his train track scars — but her ass is "FISHER SHEFFIELD my pale forehead.

The Road Between Two Rivers

I am ujalhing on the road betueen tujo rivers: One of UJater, One of Flames. The mist envelops me, and I strain to looh around. my eyes begin to sting, not from the strain or the mist, But from the sight they have seen.

On my left, in the river of ILlater, Tainted crimson By the life from the corpses it carries. Demons sujim around them lihe sharhs, Lacerating the dead. Then they feast. (Except for one, UJho believes in eating the living!)

On my right, in the river of Flames, Sheletal bodies burn lihe paper, |™ Leaving only shards of stained glass behind. Tranquillity shattered by their silent screams. Hmidst this chaos A baby cries. He seehs salvation ujithin his mother s ujomb. A prince in a former lifetime.

I looh onto this world ujith shishogan eyes. UJalhing, I pass many People ujho could not stay on this narrouj path. People ujho ujaded in the rivers. People uiho saw the darhness, Hnd nouj they ignore the light that lies ahead.

I see a man eating his left leg. (He's saving the right leg for later!) I ash him why is he having such an odd meal. ujives I have no more to fill my stomach , he replies.

I see children UJith devils in their eyes Playing ujith beggar's bones. I ash uuhy do you play ujith such ghastly toys? They point to a hanged man in hing's robes Saying,

The good news is that all your old courses that were used with the earlier version of LINKS can be converted with a utility program included so that they may be used with the new version. Ididthiswith a couple of courses and it seems to work quite well. New with this version is the multi-function display. From the options menu, views can be se- lected so that on the screen at one time you can have a top view, pro- file view, scorccard, front view or just the regular view. As well, an icon on the play screen allows the players to determine exactly where the pin is. This is handy when try- ing to figure out what is going on from behind a tree.
