Heretic

Heretic your breath reeks of brimstones ash quenched with the blood of martyred dreams. I heard hopes dying scream as it burned alive consumed by the flames of your firey speech. And now you turn to me lost Shepard bemoaning the world's inability to see your virtues. I say return false prophet unto your true master spare me your tainted sermons.

Each person has their own definition of a heretic. I'm a republican so I'm a heretic to progressive liberals. Definitions are relative to personal beliefs and perceptions. Thanks for reading and commenting... i misspelled a word
