Scourge
The pit is vast as it is empty And the emptiness is its draw Paved on the footsteps of great minds The columns of the kingdom stand tall The mortar composed of buried hope and dead faith Petrified philosophers stand guard at the gates Adrenaline coalesces with lucidity The void is not a cage The void is a throne The crown is covered in the blood of my former self And his demise makes me feel nothing I am asked to cry out for freedom I am silent I am told to report terror I am silent I am tasked to speak of dread I am silent If the world begs for a testimony The world will be left wanting Sinister warnings fall hard under a relentless gravity The horrors of this place have grown benign and I am thriving in the muck Ashes coat rusted skeletons of monuments made to dead ideas My lungs are coated in soot and I learn to breath fire Not to exhale any sort of weapon, but inhaling inexorable truth Kings wilt atop weathered podiums Commanding a society of cockroaches that will not bow Heavy crowns wear down weak necks The sun no longer reflects on the gold Majesty in all forms is dead And will not ever be reborn My sky is black forever For my ceiling does not stop at the clouds This universe is vast Full of great useless monoliths Suspended in dark matter No stories to tell but the great withering of time This universe is a graveyard Coffins orbit coffins Each corpse so convinced The graveyard was made in tribute to them This makes me feel nothing

Light Illuminates the sky Vulgar rays spread like snakes slithering Upon the fleeting clouds The time has come To tame the elements And place the reigns upon nature Hands reaching toward the heavens To bring them down A cabal of intellect gathers Arrogant hearts and ambition fomenting A plague of astonishment blooms A bitter flower shedding putrid petals Cutting the air in their salacious sway They sing a whispered song, virulent Heralding the demise of all things The mental gifts bestowed upon My children Lead to unceasing greed and destruction Their machines facing the welkin Babel’s tower reconstructed A bitter flower shedding putrid petals Cutting the air in their salacious sway They sing a whispered song, virulent Heralding the demise of all things Behold the stalwart figure of metal and wire entwined An infernal image of mangled sinew and ligaments An unsightly creature indeed With this they aim to conquer creation These gluttonous fools, feeding themselves with the blood of their brothers Will watch the sky fall and demolish all that ever was A beam of light shot into the sky The fulgurant Judas kiss A treacherous kiss once again And like that fateful night of the past Recompense is wrought swiftly upon their heads They are but insects pushing against the celestial heel Waiting to crush them into the dust from whence they came The earth uprooted, the heavens torrent unrestrained terror – Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide And their blood shall run on the streets for the dogs to lick Slain bodies, carrion for the crows’ feast Now lays there the land, bereft of fools’ mockery Desolate, it mourns before Me A bitter flower shedding putrid petals Cutting the air in their salacious sway They sing a whispered song, virulent Heralding the demise of all things

Shackled by greed Herded like cattle, subhuman filth Regarded as a means to feed corruption Branded by the Mark of Cain A sign from God to reveal the fallen A creation inferior Lashed and flayed Whipped and slain Hearts of stone swallow living flesh The Word to justify Abominable acts Their purported light makes clear The depths of darkness Centuries of abhorrence Mitigated but slightly The physical scourge Gives way to mental torment The icon of bondage resurfaces With a different face All of humanity now enslaved By the ones who sit on mountains of gold Peering below on the valley of peasants The helpless, the powerless Hearts corrupted and blinded by the illusion That this life is measured by wealth and the material In their eyes, we all bear the mark Signifying our status As fodder to be trampled upon Goaded, prodded, processed Fed into a cycle of servitude Trapped beneath an impossible burden A vain effort to satiate the gluttonous abyss Of the ones who lust for power The ultimate charade The charlatans propagate Faith in freedom Amounting to unending deceit A million miles from truth The road forms a divide A schism among us Brother against brother While they laugh down at us all
