Yule Tide Pageant Merry Go Round First Spin

Panoply of mystical elements of holly day style 
breathe prez sense frostily exaled aired
per millennia athwart 
(this terrestrial spaceship planet Earth)

two plus seventeen carousel rides resonated
veritable pantheon of pagan rituals 
and quirky superstitions lit 
(akin to a lit Christmass tree) 
starry eyed imagination

as catalyst viz *****Sapiens 
furrowed stern brow of forehead 
aft stemmed whilst Santa oft puzzling 
(allocating suitable gifts) 

inducing him to tug thought generating beard
pondering, whence agents provocateurs 
receive just desserts
fueled hodge podge, mished mashed, helter skelter 

eclectic December twenty fifth 
encompassing tens of thousands previous generations
bred despacito fixtures via paganism, 
Manicheaism, Jainism, et cetera
ancient brutish credos, ethos, faiths 

brewed nebulous concoction
within mindset of early mankind 
loose confection, confederation, conglomeration
indiscriminately torquing, vetting, whetting 
disparate constituent beliefs

contagion wrought spirit paradigm 
inculcating oral tradition Madonna and child 
occupying high chair
whereat superstitions birthed patchwork 
comprising divergent ensemble heralding 

tender petsmart impact, where world wide web populated 
with sacrificial pacification sans deity 
via oblation, immolation, flagellation appeasing Dominatrix
borrow wing, vis a vis amalgamated viz Roman sol invictus

wrought fiery brimstone tempting those who dared
assert contrary fledgling jambalaya outlook 
provoking regally supreme sacerdotal wiseman 
punishing opposing incorporating 
novel modus operandi explaining sacrilegious worship
