Firebrand.
Roots sinking,
Conviction unblinking,
As cassocks demand
The soul of the firebrand,
Just to master the survival
Of manicured lies
And winsome façades,
Neglecting to reflect
That somewhere, some
Of the time, Prometheus
Doesn't genuflect, allows
The dream to effervesce,
Willing to take
The punishment instead...
