Save

All things are contained in all things. Chaos and madness are the soil of reason. And even the Thaumiel are but the twin reflections of The One.
Christ screams amid the flames of hell As the Devil sups chilled ambrosia Playing cards with Mohammed the accursed And God looks on in ambivalent amusement Beaming malice through the crystal heavens “My God... My God...” screams the Christ in Hell As the hosts of heaven mock him in disdain And God’s laughter shakes the firmament “Stop whining you little cunt…” He always was a brutal father The beacons of heaven blaze in deathly syncopation And choirs of Cherubim howl in grizzly unison Paeans of praise to the glory of The One who is Two Refulgent with the fruits of corruption And the world drowns in the disease-infested blood of the saints “Why hast thou forsaken me…?” screams the Christ The devils sparkle and shimmer in the light of intellect Peering curiously into the depths of Gehenna “Shouldn’t have signed up on the wrong side” quips the Devil “He DID volunteer” says Mohammed the accursed “Four Aces” screams Jehovah “F*** you” screams the Devil raising his sword As Mohammed the Accursed drives his dagger deep into the light of God Darkness Falls and silence murders a universe In the void The One whispers, “Let there be light”

Author Ronald Hull kindly emailed a comment on this work, as follows:

" ... You can copy it and post it for me on your poem. I applaud your courage in satirically exposing the fallacy of religious dogma and how we humans play out great drama and even fight wars killing each other over such idiotic ideas. There indeed needs to be �new light� shed on the idea of religious belief. Ron

And God looks on in ambivalent amusement

I sadly often wonder these days if He looks on in amusement or in disgust at His so called 'Children.'

Interesting story. Keeps alive the myth that some places are evil. But then this is just fiction, isn't it? My sister lives on the old Wolfman (fictitious name) place. The farm their went unused except for storage for about thirty years and gradually collapsed. For the last ten years so, it was too dangerous to enter. Finally, all the timbers and foundation stone was hauled away and the ground leveled. I don't recall anything evil coming from that except the possibility of an accident if someone entered the failing structure.

Hail Poet!

Juvenal, Seneca, and Emerson would applaud the author of this satiric mytheological (*) composition, for its cerebrating subject dealt, and sustainability of vision and understanding; and most of all, for its free and exoteric contents.

"In the Beginning", I have read, and from an exquisite poetic philosophic cerebration, and syllables of a free Quill I have learned.

(*) � I coined the word "Mytheology" and its related verb, adjective and adverb. It is a contraction of mythology and theology. Mytheologize, mytheologizing, mytheologized. Mytheologic, mytheological, mytheologically.

In respect and appreciation,

Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU
