The Zealots

Their plasma
TV had Faux News
ticker tape burned
into the bottom
of the screen but he’d
say he didn’t stoop
to infotainment
without blinking;

Grew up on
McLaughlin
Group when our
worst worry was
Pat Robertson;

Now he loves
Waters
and will say
that’s not
opinion

Every battle I've fought and won
Is another I must back down from
Guess it's time for me to refit
My tack - jaw clenched on the bit

​At my birth, I skirled;
through my #infancy I mewled;
now, I mostly grumph.

Allows the tide
to push wherever
it wants it to go
never questioning
never resisting
chooses the
least resistance
#yielding to nature
if the ocean
dashes it upon
the sharp rocks
it calls it fate

goes to church
every morning
arrives two hours
early for
Christmas Mass
morally upright
so you should be too
reminds you of
every obligation
zealous in thought
oppressive in action

This was a hard one for me. Been struggling with it for a while, and I’m not sure it's expressing me. But it's been a long week and I’m exhausted so no more tinkering.

Zealous acolytes
Lapping it up, slobbering
Over the fresh meat.

I recognize the embers of my soul in the waning moon.

But with enough revolutions,
There’s maybe a mystic’s chance,
To be as zealous as a convert
Once again.

Playing poker, Neil felt like a heel.
But he gambled with passionate zeal,
Using cash that was meant
For the rent — ev’ry cent.
So his win was a very big deal.
