John Lawless Poet Free verse

Halo-Tosis - For Contest

HALO-TOSIS

Chained preachers
putrid breath of lies
extolling the efficacy
of fire and brimstone’s
scorched souls.

Andrea Dietrich November 1, 2015 at 3:06 PM VEry clever title for THIS one, John. Yeah, the fire and brimstone thing. I really hate that!! John Lawless November 1, 2015 at 6:35 PM Thanks Andrea. I got tired of the "bully-god" and the "bully-pulpit" long ago.

Lin Lane October 30, 2015 at 4:07 PM I agree, John... it stinks! John Lawless November 1, 2015 at 6:31 PM Yeah, I always thought the incense they spread around was the leftover brimstone....
