Though darkness will claim I offend, I’ll use verse as my means toward an end: It’s OK to see light . . . It’s OK to to be right (If there’s anything left to defend).

Limerick of Illumination
Devise a revision to revise the division– let them tremble at this lying vision: and, like some Antinomian libertine abuse the grace of Christ and cause a scene in Jewsalem, capitol of the Gentile world; the rainbow flag is soon to be unfurled. Messianic ******** cast away; God’s own body must illuminate the way. Tautology thought: theology taught: Mufti and the atheists all distraught. Pre-formed references yield to reformed preferences.

Random Couplets
#*So look out sailor when you hear them croon You’ll never be the same again, oh no Their crazy music drives you insane*. . .                                                                                 Roxy Music A ****** of song, a passing fit They call to you and no one saves. And then you loosen— just a bit: Dopamine rolls in with the waves. Captain—can you hear that sound? That song unearthly screaming bliss; Moaning sighing seas resound The island welcomes like a kiss. Breakers rising, cresting, swelling Bear you towards a bone-strewn lair. Portals open; warm, compelling Variations: fleshtones . . . hair. Your craft will wreck upon the rocks Though you may live—and regret the ride, Recalling ports and placid docks; Oh mariner of the raging tide. That music . . . let me hear some more! It surges now behind the light, Illuminating from the core A vessel in descending night.

Passing Sirens
Set your alarms, y'all. I'm mad WOKE. Order Chinese—send in the clowns. (General Tso, you know, was white . . . Africa's in on the corporate joke) And every lion-tamer frowns. Sleeping late on Sabbath morning You might miss my woke-ass warning; Time for you to get it right. Soccer moms talked on, inept Wokesplaining Blackness to the slept. Hoping lion's would not bite'em, Lambs were roaring, panthers leapt. (Lamb-chops are a pricey item...) Blind-men too, received their sight, Discovering new shades of white, As one young sheep, determined, kept Wokesplaining Blackness to the slept. War on Whiteness! Dark the night. Time to dis-empower their light. Pull the plug on those Caucasians; Afro-centrify all Asians! Full-court press, seconds remaining Final quarter: there's the game Light-skinned Latins start complaining People of color hold no grudge; Whitey look for who to blame. Take notes, brother. Here come the judge. Fools held court. The jury prepped: Wokesplaining Blackness to the slept. Then— the basketball was ended. Cross-country skiing now the rage. Black was under-represented; Social justice facts presented: Winter sports now turned the page. Nordic culture was up-ended. Pride makes possible all, except Wokesplaining Blackness to the slept. St. George Floyd is celebrated Neighborhoods get burned to ashes Racist rioters compensated Whiteness hits the brakes—and crashes. Mary murmured . . . Jesus wept Wokesplaining Blackness to the slept.

Wokesplanations
The wokeness is so deep: they're sleeping. Clueless legions are on the march . . . Ignorance has Wisdom weeping; The wokeness is so deep they're sleeping Through the harvest, and the reaping. Behold the view from Titus's arch: The wokeness is so deep they're sleeping— Clueless legions are on the march.
