Satan's Outcasts - Satire

Heaven offers tickets to any citizen
           Adhering to good behaviour, as Richard
            Sin washed virtuous shines richeous
           Permitted exclusive afterlife purchase


Richard prided himself on his neat appearance 
Inside out Bible marked imbibed coherence 
Nourised by 7am museli, leaving home soon after 
Publisher for Eternal week days, on Sunday a pastor

Sermon prepared carefully, time consumed him
Pinnacle of Lord days pointed to duty resuming 
Shared redemption message with congregation 
Ensured wavering faith was infiltrated by elation 

Devoted volunteer, full schedule proportionate
Monthly soup kitchen duty served less fortunate 
Ten pm delivery of left over to his Mother's house
Widow nearing ninety, not readily able to get out

Forsaken God fearer one fateful day struck down
by hooligan during dawn walk in neighbourhood renowned 
for echoing homes, high hedge edges hide pedestrians 
Tyre tattooed road kill, dislodged by reckless heathan

Bedside machines duly beeped his fragile existence 
Sacrifice of admired man to stagnant predicament! 
Moral loyalty, immaculately ironed, full dedication
Could it be God had ordered his early eradication? 

Flatlined screen, pulse serene denotes one way entry
To harp plucking, angel hosted, cloud palace heavenly
Proclaimed as reward, rule abiders' final destination 
For the followers of God's word, a deserved salvation 

Picket fence of precious metal keeps the sinners out
White ground expanse supports people equally touted
As pray-ers, obeyers, having delayed gratification
Burying bad tendancies for kingdom of imagination 

Cloud haven loungers hear filtered sound of festivity
Scantily clad wilful tribal fire-side dancers devilish
Grins closed only to kiss ridiculous Mother marijuana 
Eternity unconfirmed, turmultous tenure harnessed



27th June
Satire Saturday  

Tongue in cheek contraversy needs no translation
Manic imaginings account for all inclinations!
