We’re talkin' about
a new resurrection—
Proud kinfolk tout
'merican, not Briton.
Waving our hands—
Preaching exceptionalism!
We’re firebrands
pretending to be blithesome.
Join our Tea Party reunion—
Forget the historical facts.
We’re of religious persuasion
pushing born-again pacts.
We can save this land
and steal the show.
You, friend, we understand—
Psycho to psycho.

Written for The Mag: Mag 192 that inspired with the above image prompt
(Resurrection Reunion 2, 1945, Sir Stanley Spencer).
In this particular prompt, the painting's title had as much to do with inspiring my words
as the image itself. Visit the link to see many creative takes on the prompt.
Also written in 55 words for Friday Flash 55.
