that rogue salesman
has always been hard to handle
his pitch is getting tired
and old

and nobody
seems to like
the church’s shiny and new
but empty
corporate
suit

hence the prophet
profits

his strategy
may seem extreme to us
but the they
are right with him

bookended by fake humility
and a sad
thinly veiled
and oh so very angry
cynicism

the prophet quite expertly plays his part
one day preaching to the faithful
but barely functional fools
the next he’s seen
in some slickly produced confession

his amazing story
of a brutal
demon-driven transformation
that even the truest believer
should see right through

but they won’t
because the they want it
they need it
and thus the prophet
continues to

his empty-vessel pretense
of spiritual sacrifice
is presented as purely personal
without pretext
or previous revelation

but one unnamed brother in arms
who was there
with a much more righteous
prophetic claim
well he may just have something to say
about that

to be continued
umm… (.. )( ..)
let’s hope not
