Doomsday Profit

a most irksome, self-righteous creature on earth,

     this megaphoning doomsday prophet in the street

          who harasses and harangues everyone to repent;



this holier-than-thou dude with a cultist attitude,

     acting like some toothless dentist of decency,

          claiming to protect the molars of morals in society;



scaring folks with spiritual toothache and decay,

     but from the curse of eternal torment and agony

          he spares those who donate generously to his charity!
