Sacrilege Of The GentilesA Poem by Franc RodriguezThe apocalyptic vision of mankind.
I
The proselytes of the sanctimonious in the queue, And acolytes subjugated by rapacities that accrue, Sanguineous guillotines at the sinister promontory, Above the clamour of the astray souls in purgatory. II Inculcated progeny of the vile and the iniquitous, The plethora of the ignoramus and the ubiquitous, Devoured by cannibals in the Coliseum of carnage, Applauded by the lunatics of the perverted barnage. III Ascending from the dire catacombs of the damnable, Legions of odious demons subservient and flammable, The vortex of necrotic calamities, impetuous chasms, An onerous amalgam of the oppressed within spasms. IV Ostracism, denudation, pestilence, and stolid rapine, Ambrosia for the heinous scarab and sadistic canine, Atrophy, cruelty, turpitude, in corrupted degeneracy, Propaideia in the peripeteia of the senile inveteracy. V Paramount statues of deranged emperors in the ruins, Cataclysms and phenomenons of the plenteous coffins, Continents submerged within the seas and the oceans, Civilisations and megalopolises destroyed by plebeians. VI The cantankerous Nazerenes, Saracens, and Israelites, Perishing into the cinders of those perilous anthracites, The lurid beast sojourns upon the throne of the papacy, Close to his retinue of assassins and the zealot's fallacy, VII The perennial epoch of the once primordial pantheism, Effaced, eschewed, for the desire of phlegmatic atheism, Diaphanous quires of scriptures percolated into oblivion, Supplanted afterward by a mortal's peremptory munition. VIII The stentorian suzerain is consequently a supreme autocrat, For he is not a mere and nefarious Republican or Democrat, The strident hypocrite of the intellectual exegetes implicated, Governing the penurious and macilent ones that supplicated. IX Humanity had abandoned and exterminated his Providence, The Sword of Damocles fell upon the volition of a vengeance, The days of expectations faded into the nights of infinitude, Within the eternal obscurity of the inferno of the vicissitude. X Promulgated doctrine of those sacrosanct sages and scribes, The purlieu of the omnipotent Elysium of the religious tribes, Obliterated by the treachery and the sacrilege of the gentiles, As the exiled search for the empyreal defiles within the seniles. © 2016 Franc Rodriguez |
