two things, one not being so much a thing, and another couple things

One thing:

A supernatural occurrence
A confrontation
of otherworldy forces
Bringing quakes and tremors
Volcanic ash
Hellfire
scorching and razing
The Devil rising 
out of a chasm in the earth 
that wasn’t there a moment before
Demanding the unconditional surrender of our head-of-state
and unequivocal submission
an effective refutation of our economic philosophies
and geo-political ranking


-OR- another thing:

the public lynching of an innocent


Which one would it be easier for me to believe happens everyday?

     which would be one thing

Then to die just so the truth of it has the chance to be known?

    which would be another thing all together
