United Apostates
Isn’t it post-ironic?

Christ cross, applesauce.
Same as the old boss.
Chi rho do-si-do.
Hands, feet, knees, and toes.
Ichthys, fix this.
Gillnets full of tithing fish.
A, O, rainbow.
Covenant has got to go.
INRI gadfly
under an all-seeing eye.
New merch. Magachurch.
Note the hand that holds the scourge.
