UNLIKE UNSHAVEN ALCOHOLIC PREACHERS

Unlike unshaven alcoholic preachers proselytizing,
Preaching with abandon on sidewalk soapboxes,
Clerics from raised pulpits in cathedrals of gold
Proffer salvation assurances for a pretty price,
While within the serenity of the night
God is transfigured under moonlit sky,
Thirty pieces of silver speaks for itself.
