Permanent furlough from humanity
(or how twittering tumblr wrought salvation)
PREFACE TO BODY:
I. Awaiting modified sentence – habeas corpus writ
A somber mood prevailed amidst the cloistered silence
haunting spectrum imposed from perfidious provenance
Fenced within by holy hedgerow rubric –
Judeo-Christian Zann
countenance of all in mourning wan
soon halen mortician van
no way to dodge fiat decreeing death sentence
duration equivalent to infinite time span
for this rambling man
who felt unready to kick the can
on account of violating ban
against abominable illegal mandate
with no way to commute death sentence of late
for simple act of voicing opinion Church doth hate
against exist of heavenly gate
of hellish underworld despite fate
religious opiate decreeing penance berate
spurious pedagogical poetic rant
not the ravings of some half mad lunatic doth pant
carefully plotted recitation that springs osculant
from combined teachings of Kant
and jolly old Saint Nick Xmas chant
charges trumped up per this average don rhyme
purportedly blaspheming judeo-christian paradigm
upending blind faith equated with hill of beans mime
ming dogma erected complex edifices epitomized via grime
sweat and tears from slave labor paid less than a dime
a day, where usurpation of freedom won, a Pyrrhic crime
until outspoken spokespersons
risked life and limb rife
to invalidate the existence
of supreme deity who created life
whether for extra credit or perhaps on a whim
Adam from whose rib cage without anesthesia
but razor sharp knife
sported eve with a physique quite pleasing and trim
but rather than get lost in the Garden of Eden myth
final seconds of existence tick away
without intent to recant statements
solely acceptable to b’ni brith
prompting last words of mine as oye vay
with no regrets -
deeming heart of religion flimsy as pith
thing in the wind or house of cards
vulnerable to blow away
due to congenital psychological affliction
Hobgoblins joined human league
averse plaintive benediction
thence, this with mine jetblue
skinny legs like a chicken
his (mein kampf) got dealt mortal
(who gives a hoot) blowfish
disintegrated by mailer daemons usurped dereliction
whereby sanity given eviction in subsequent fiction
feeble attempts evoke stricken gumption
where nihilistic thoughts wreak humiliation
upon prepubescent initiation
whereby the antithesis of jubilation
kept author like a trapped
mouse in a cat protected kitchen
where no cheeses cur heist could rectify or bring libation.
Noah idea what possessed to address heretic camouflage
earthlinked live nada so hotmail to splutter so much persiflage.
Ye might well categorize the palaver as pure llama heaped dung attempting to sneak into yar consciousness as some esoteric badinage aspiring to convey that this doodler with words adroit with the english language.
bah humbug
down the gullet went lethal drug
filled consciousness with mental fug
e'en without any farewell hug
after smacking lips
polished off deadly drink from mug.

Life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and goodwill toward men/women served as a mere pretense extant the global arcade.
