Insulting social convention
Has been your stock in trade,
But I doubt you’ll be forgiven
The scandal you’ve now made.
You've sailed close to the wind before,
You've cut it mighty fine.
But now you've really done it -
You've really crossed the line.
Iconoclasm’s brought you fame
But now you’ve gone too far.
Your days may well be numbered
As a multi-media star.
They’ve loved your every outrage,
Whoever you’ve cursed or kissed,
But they’ll not love your latest words:
“When I was an atheist …”

Hello, I can relate to this with the presidential election going on here, some journalists out right lie and nothing is said by the main stream liberal press. Thet have their own agenda. Thank you for sharing this. A pleasure to read.
Take care,
Sandy

I like the witty way you set these words out. Who's the media icon?
I hope you're havin' a fabulous day.
