Horrible Haggard Haiku

Preaching pretty hate
Stand and deliver "good news"
Fingers crossed behind

Satan lures the weak
Waiting, lurking, patiently
If you so believe

Blame it on your God
Free-will was too much to bear
Powerlessness reigns

That which you deny
Puppet, you are made to dance
By your own design

Will your bearing turn?
Or will power and applause
Steer again your bow?

Future lies unknown
Unseen possibilities
All assume the worst

Love was not enough
You sought gratification
Beyond biblical

Soaring t'wards the glare
Flames ignited your descent
Your light shines no more

There once was a liar named Ted
Who couldn't live all that he said
He snorted some meth
And then got undressed
With him for whom Ted had great dread

There once was a preacher named Haggard
Who ranted and raved just like Swaggert
He judged all the gay boys
And lambasted lesbos
But turned out to be a big faggert.
