ProgressionA Poem by Jerome F Knox III pseudonym Nefarious J. Dorsey
From the dust I was made
Out in the open beneath the Sun, no shade Made in the image of he, me And I him He breathed life Into my nostrils According to the gospel and After the pilgrimage To the Valley of the dry bones My maker realized That I was alone They believed That I needed a help mate Because the weight Of loneliness Weighed heavily on me So in order for me To progress I had to digress As the future would see, me He; Us Ingest the forbidden fruit Our downfall He would call Sin So my story begins As I became a nomad first Looking for souls to hurt Searching to and fro Minute by minute Hour by hour Seeking whom I could devour Not knowing another creature Was made explicitly to deceive Those who believe in him And he in them As they all Will reap the poison from The tree A multi-generational curse That came from the dirt and dust A sinful Exodus As the nomad Became mad Defying his purpose Lying against the truth So now nomad becomes Hunter Forging weapons from stone Refusing to leave the other Creations God made Alone Again he roams This time Looking not to Fill his Stomach with berries As the future Becomes scary As his soul Became sore As he needed more This would later Be the basis For war As his desire for Meat turned him Into a carnivore As the taste of blood Changed his Vegan existence His persistence In defying G-O-D Shattered his morality As he now was the enemy Of he that created him And him he and On that day They soon Parted ways His discontentment Grew in increments As he was hell bent On murdering the land By his hand At first His thirst Could not be satisfied As he lied About why his brother Had to die But his creator knew That he was Abel too After all he was made in His image, his likeness His self-righteousness Would be felt for generations To come As historians will examine What he has done Citing that the progression From plants to being a Carnivore Made him hungrier For war While discoveries Like fire Fueled his desires As he became a deity A demigod that made It hard for him to obey His master A disaster As his desire for flesh Had him fixated On war and conquest As he now beats His chest To profess Nevertheless His Exodus became A symbol of his Disobedience A main ingredient In this thing Called sin And just before his story Ends It just begins © 2014 Jerome F Knox III pseudonym Nefarious J.
