INVISIBLE by Mark Ready
No heavenly celebrant Or person of conscience Could ignore the gigawatt smile. On the child’s dirty epoxy-smooth face Its mother was homeless. Yet the baby’s innocent giggles could outsell her gloom. The respectable people walked past the Moneyless Madonna and child But the poor who knew hunger gave all.
The 100 Gigawatt Preacher by Bob Metivier
The one hundred gigawatt TV tower broadcast its celebrant, standing at his cardboard pulpit, held together by epoxy: "This is the Kingdom Hour!" He smiled and greeted them all, He knew full well he could outsell Every pastor on the air, Holding keys to every question Anyone would dare.

Celebrant! of
[epoxy]
dreams,
<outsell> the night,
where neon
beams.
{Gigawatt}
whispers,
electric streams,
poet's heart beats,
defying
schemes.
Words surge,
power's
surge,
ignite the mind,
sparks
and circuits,
synergy we find.
In
twilight's shroud,
where words
collide,
electric symphony,
souls
confide.
Gigawatt reverie,
where only her
imagination
breathes.Meghan by Christine Law
Meghan the witch thought She would outsell herself, With sticky expoxy, Celebrant performing at 1,000 gigwatts. Oh, hell fire, frogs legs, green slim Let things happen quick, So that no morons will be Left? To enter earths atmosphere Before the dawning of light. Meghan smiled standing on The rock.
HOLY CHURCH of The GIGAWATT by the Flea Dane
Long live the HOLY CHURCH Of The GIGAWATT By the sacrament of the incandescence Bless its radiation Kathodes cased in candy-color epoxy Our altar before which we stand in reverence Plasticine celebrants Excessive evangelism eats night sky Outsells your moon and stars ev'ry sales quarter Holy blindedness Holiest burning
