994 - But Hollow

Three Word Wednesday requires participants

to use the three words of the week in a composition.

The words this week are: 

Mischievous, Nod & Obedience.

But Hollow.

Nice hair,

Pretty face,

But hollow.

A sock puppet

For the mischievous right,

The malevolent might,

Of the God set,

Who expect nothing 

But obedience

And compliance

With their bookish views

Of what is news

Of who they abuse

Of mostly don’ts

But occasional do’s.

With a deferential nod

To these darlings of God

He steps into the lights…

Nice hair,

Pretty face.
