the rage of my youth, passing

In 1957 Pastor Westboro was diagnosed with a tumour larger than his own brain.

Doctors intended to destroy the growth but tests proved the cancerous tumour was more intelligent & compassionate than its host.

Surgeons removed the malignant Pastor to let the tumour live in peace.

rhetoric

I feel like the generator was rigged. This word makes me think of politics, the people who run the world, and the way they run it. The system is beyond broken.
