The iconoclast with great sarcasm,
tries to hurl the church into a chasm.
Pharisee of courts —
belching out retorts!
His religion of enthusiasm.

Like an iconoclast -
who desperately wants to remove
the portrayal of a false god
from the mural -
I want to relegate you;

I'm going on a cyberfast
some folks doubt, say it won't last
"What will you do, instead?" they ask

the whole thing out, I'll have a blast
I'll read, I'll write, I'll live and bask
in warm sunlight, in nature's vast
delights, and daydream of the past
cuz' I'm the quintessential iconoclast.

for what affront thus penalized
with calibrated nips that pierce
for soft caress unauthorized?

T’was you with brazen move unasked
who burnished coat upon my limb.
What dire affect iconoclast
did stir your feral feline whim?

The cat is oft like womankind
beyond man's feeble intellect,
a primal spirit state of mind,
requiring manners circumspect....

I am the master of my fate - William Ernest Henley


Bill zags, don't tell him to zig.
The architect of his fate;
truly an iconoclast,
a nonconformist
