the pastor paced the sacristy
practicing his sermon,
practicing his sermon,
it centered on the concept of
if life was predetermined
if life was predetermined
if fate was inescapable
if faith was somehow capable
of altering a destiny
if prayers and praise
and sacred days
improve life consequentially….
if prayers and praise
and sacred days
improve life consequentially….
he hadn’t worked the ending out
it needed final touches
like words and thoughts,
he thought he ought
to give it just as much as
the beginning,
but this one wasn’t winning,
this time he’d met his match.
this time he’d met his match.
he scrapped the whole idea
and then began again from scratch

Three prompts integrated? Well done! There’s also a bit of humorous irony in here too that tickles the brain. Hahah.
