Lingering.
Stench of death
Void the bowels
Hang on to the threads
Fingers broken with age.
One day you will pay.
Pluck anxiously
The fabric of time
Rending beneath
The violence
You perpetrated
You allowed
You beget
It circles
Reaching for you
For your soul.
Are you scared?
Did you give a thought
To the children you martyred
To the angels you created
Who have on high
The ear of the one
Who will decide the fate of your soul.
The fate of your everlasting eternity.
Can you see them?
Crowded around
Their eyes
Gone
Plucked free
Skin melted from bones.
You did this
With your hunger
With your need
To show superiority
To weaponize a book
You imparted fear.
Cat got your tongue?
You poor poor man.
Your time has come.
The angel of death strides
Forcing way through ghouls
Those who are chained to you
For their deaths
Blackened your soul
An evil forged in bigotry.
Tears erupt.
Mouth open
Silent scream
For this angel
Is not one of kindness
Nor one of empathy.
With cruel intent
So much like your own
The death
You reap
Will keep
You in everlasting damnation.
And upon your knees
Prayers will fall from flayed lips
As all laugh
At your desperate attempt.
They are the witnesses.
They are the truth.
They are your final warning;
Your final end.
Don’t hold your breath
It only makes things worse.
Breath through the pain
Lungs on fire
Heart ripped free
Fed to the dragons
Upon bended knee.
