Sinister Ministers

I feel quite certain
can
is to canister
as sin
is to sinister

Lust
is to luster
and teach
is to teacher
as preach 
is to preacher

But not mini
is to minister
as not what sinister sermons
are to lusty sermonizers.

It also feels
like cause
for pause
that war
is to warrior
but we have no equivalent language
for peace
is to peacer.

We do have blessed
are the peace makers
but not peaceful players

Or cooperative
equivalent to peace
restoring justice workers.

Now I feel curious,
so probably no threat of furious
I can not put this can
back in my canister,
ban my empowered banister,
or limit my ignorant sins
to neglecting intuitive sinister.
