From Whose Pulpit?

… A majority of Protestant voters, the largest religious group in the United States, align with Republicans. And there are signs of weakening Democratic support among other religious groups, including Hispanic Catholics.
(Lisa Lerer and Elizabeth Dias)

I’ll whisper something to the wind, see where it goes. You never know. Chicanery rife, fury rampant, decency starved, rhetoric is what there is. I’ll go further, won’t I? See if I don’t. Maybe it’s all there is.

FROM WHOSE PULPIT?

whencesoever:
stricture of prophet
command of anointed
preaching of messiah
insight of mystic
tenet of saint

by whomsoever:
chosen called appointed
prophesied beseeched denied

howsoever:
prayed proclaimed indoctrinated
thundered brayed evangelized

wheresoever:
spoken writ engraved
chiseled steepled carved
chanted hymned piped

resolved:
that life created
in the likeness of
Mighty all this all that

be worthily taken
by nought but
what did give it

is ever and always
honored devoutly
in the braying breach.

About JMN

I live in Texas and devote much of my time to easel painting on an amateur basis. I stream a lot of music, mostly jazz, throughout the day. I like to read and memorize poetry.
