no redundancy

annunciation provoked him to laugh

the passing years had dimmed dynastic dreams
but nonetheless he'd slain the fatted calf
not knowing his guest isn't what He seems
our father Abraham took hat in hand
"shall not the judge of righteousness do right?"
intuiting what God didn't command
for unknown Sodomites, he'd join the fight
Free Will triumphant where Noach had failed
to empathize with those whom God condemned
he risked God's wrath and all that that entailed
for strangers who just might be righteous men
there's none to intercede for his own son
not lamed-vav; in his day there's just one
