Renegade Wrapped in Whim

Rachel Maddow, overshadowed; AI generated art

Anagrams & Pentagrams

He wanted Isaac not the ram

The son not the lamb

The myth not the man

For having cake and eating it

Your purpose are you defeating it

Dogmatic fanatics

They say we are erratic

Like electricity to static
Rather emphatic
Speaking should you not
Keep it apophatic

As if it were a shadow to Rachel Maddow

Why is Rachel mad though?

MSNBC, will they never flee

From hither unto thee

To be or not to see

Renegade wrapped in whim

Clandestine contestant

Like bankman fried

And the preacher on TV

Simply sewing a small seed

Prosperity and gospel

False prophets are they awful
Like jihad in Iraq and Mosul

Beauty, where have you been?

With a candlestick in the den?

Is desiring the beast that much of a sin?

The death of who you’ve been

Set the prior on fire

Any questions?

Inquire unto a friar
Any thorns or briars, harps or lyres?

From such an endeavor we will never tire

Time is it to revisit and pivot

A chance must we give it

Our life must we choose to live it
