Yuletide pageant merry go round

rew4er2nail

Panoply of mystical elements of holly day style

breathe prez sense frostily exhaled aired

per millennia athwart

(this terrestrial spaceship planet Earth)

two plus seventeen carousel rides resonated

veritable pantheon of pagan rituals

and quirky superstitions lit

(akin to a lit Christmas tree)

 

starry eyed imagination

as catalyst viz Homo Sapiens

furrowed stern brow of forehead

aft stemmed whilst Santa oft puzzling

(allocating suitable gifts)

inducing him to tug thought generating beard

pondering, whence agents provocateurs

receive just desserts

fueled hodge podge, mish mashed, helter skelter

eclectic December twenty fifth

encompassing tens of thousands previous generations

bred despacito fixtures via paganism,

Manichaeism, Jainism, et cetera

ancient brutish credos, ethos, faiths

brewed nebulous concoction

within mindset of early mankind

loose confection, confederation, conglomeration

indiscriminately torquing, vetting, whetting

disparate constituent beliefs

contagion wrought spirit paradigm

inculcating oral tradition Madonna and child

occupying high chair

whereat superstitions birthed patchwork

comprising divergent ensemble heralding

 

tender petsmart impact, where world wide web populated

with sacrificial pacification sans deity

via oblation, immolation, flagellation appeasing Dominatrix

borrow wing, vis a vis amalgamated viz Roman sol invictus

wrought fiery brimstone tempting those who dared

assert contrary fledgling jambalaya outlook

provoking regally supreme sacerdotal wiseman

punishing opposing incorporating


novel modus operandi explaining sacrilegious worship

such heretics pitched headlong

into fiendish frothing furnace

forcing obeisance toward primitive popular

identified, honored, glorified father figure

expressing devotion re:

decking the halls of the mountain king,

whence boughs of Juniper sprigs contriving wreaths

sanctifying twisted brambles via sprinkling angel dust

(actually cremated remains of malefactors

stripped of habiliments) during bleak winter

unwittingly interweaving nascent (futuristic)

formally codified bona fied religions

unknowingly, tacitly, silently rendering

quintessential premises obliging

layperson to foreswear locally rooted secular treatises

 

trounced, trumpeted unction voided

wishy washy antithetical blind faith coalescing edicts

over course of time became established

Greco-Roman imposed group think

disallowing cynics,

diametrically emerging fanatics, skeptics

who (if he/she did not recant

recalcitrant recommended recourse

faced torture amidst throng of madding crowd

as entertainment and forewarning gall

asper those who held steadfast dissimilar views

taught since birth, when citizenry reared

as just a little drummer boy/ girl pipsqueak

taught to stay the course (sans straight and true)

bound without freedom to express contrary aspects

of ways and whyfores, which accepted traditions
controlled each green day

and silent night, wherefore unimaginable ogres

lined straying hip cats

eventually ensnared within warpath,

whence law of the land lend scimitar to smite

any mortal man, woman
or child with flaming torches

licking the heretical body electric,

while defiant individuals

left to burn into decimated

charcoal blackened, ashen corpse.
