Agent Provocateur

There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root. - Thoreau

Breathing holy water.

Spitting sacrilegious dirt.

Clutching straw and releasing sorrow.

Waiting for a spent calendar's tumultuous tomorrow.

Thought I was Heaven's harbinger.

Turned out to be Hell's hiena.

Pergatory's patsy.

Prayer's punk.

Sin's sucker.

Beelzebub's b***h.

His cigarette but.

Nothing butt faith's fornicator.

A wet noodle.

The whole kit 'n kaboodle.

Satan's interstate trucker.

...

Life's motherf*cker ...

Author's Note

"What is the price-current of an honest man and patriot to-day? They hesitate, and they regret, and sometimes they petition; but they do nothing in earnest and with effect. They will wait, well disposed, for others to remedy the evil, that they may no longer have it to regret. At most, they give only a cheap vote, and a feeble countenance and Godspeed, to the right, as it goes by them." - Thoreau
