The Heretical

Good at assembling spiritual mishmash, High expectations raising for big cash In the open for Despair full fury: The demons behind them for his jury… Chooser of the Language of Pentecost He may have acquired at a great cost: Body movements take on the pugilist’s For all Contrary Spirits’ flying fists! No vows made he wouldn’t try kung-fu kicks, His smarter left leg foes one by one picks… The events in the Bible come alive Clever links with the current trends survive; Sometimes seems he would afterwards vanish, One recalls words: he did nothing varnish. More and more hearers of the Word-Life swarm And this as a development - Uh! – warm… “Now, I want to the Devil embarrass But as I cast him out might some harass. Therefore, you vacate where I now point to: It’ll mean I won’t afresh to God cry to…” “Next, sands under your feet take a handful; Then, at the sky look with a face thankful. Despair is done for as you repeat these: I come against you Despair; right now, freeze”
