It isn’t what it
Is, and it’s not what it is
Not. Nothing and all.
If you want it, it’s
Wrong. If you avoid it, it
Finds you anyway.
There is a perfect
Circle, and you are a point
On a distant plane.
When you’re right, you’re wrong.
When you’re wrong, you’re dead wrong. But
Keep on trying, friend.
Something rose from the
Oceans depths in 99.
It won’t rest until
We are all drowned and
Abomination rises
To the throne of man.
What better hunter
Of the dread than one who is
Wholly corrupted?
Ominous portents
Of creeping, formless evil,
Angry crowds cheer for
Moloch’s hunger to
Consume the offering of
Flesh; they wear the Mark.
Asphyxiating
Pandemonium, in my
Suburban nightmare.
I can’t breathe, I can’t
Speak, I am dying, I beg
For release, why don’t
You hear me? Was I
Always agoraphobic
Or is this the mask?
I offered you peace.
You refused. Now I must yank
Free your thin film of
Protection, shake it
Loose, expose you to hungry
Revenant waiting.
You’ll long for death, but
It will be denied. Your stench
Will sicken most, and
Bring them into my
Kingdom, so that they will make
Peace, and enjoy it.
Prepared I am to
Smite. No cannibal can be
Tolerated. These
Ogres will taste my
Steel deep in their gullets. No
More shall they grow fat
On my people’s backs.
The thunder you hear will be
Their heads rolling on
The ground. If Saul thinks
He can save his cousins, he’ll
Be the next to die.
Let’s call her Lottie.
She just watched her whole life in
Flames, Sheol on earth.
Her husband offered
Her daughters to be raped to
Appease wickedness.
Sole survivors of
Genocide, and she was left
Alive? Her? How was
She to live? Darkness,
No hint of a savior. She
Wisely turned to salt.
I got on a train.
I climbed to the top row and
Tried to find a place
To sleep. At last found
I a spot, on the advice
Of a mother and
Daughter. Quickly as
The train started to chug, I
Spilled from my seat to
The floor. This was not
A passenger train, but for
Livestock and cattle.
For years I had tried
To stand off from the herd, and
With them I would die.
A news headline I
Once read contained the saddest
Moment in life I
Could comprehend: “Man
Shot, dies in the arms of his
Twin brother.” This life.
