REVELATION

REVELATION

a torture from the angels in the skies

small bright words, small bright millions of words

written on the skins of the dead

small bright words, they feed you each day

for five hellish days...

the food of the gods they give you

a box with everglowing light they show you

hell is what they offer you in exchange for your skin

those skins lined with golds and blood

after five hellish days...

a torture from the angels in disguise

honest offers of lying hearts

your name will be written in blood

your shame will be covered with flies

devils and fools around you

maggots and promises they give you

it is heaven they show you

it is god they tell you

paint the skies in blood

jealous of the stars in lust

the sword of might and just is stained

when the blood of these angels arise

the angels will betray god as it is written...

as it is being done...breathe with me...

for the blood of the millions...

for the skins lined with golds....

. whoa ! ... epic writing ... the repetition with minor variations ... and the word play are astonishingly skillful ... this is dark ... and the depths of this darkness have been traversed with skill and precision ... angels and gods are in the bad books of us humans ... that is so true ... sometimes people tell us too much about religion ... and then later can't substantiate it with actions or explain occurrences ... we live in a tarnished universe ... and if we don't protest as powerfully as you do ... then hell is where we'll reach ... and hellish is what we'll get ... perhaps ... we line too much ... rather than align ... brilliantly written and exceedingly thought provoking and action inspiring ...

Very powerful, and it has a really wonderful darkness in it. Great job!
