Malignant religion
Pregnant with ignorance
Lingering hatreds, ageold
Feuding blood fuelling wars.
Fuligin sky scorched undercoat, cloven surcoat
Liver, loving blood heretofore circuited
Outslithering blood ophidian
Sers fall cut, it is not a war where only peasants die
Bullets like plague unsparing, farmers and kings alike
A die cast from a God’s hand.
Obfuscation of hatred’s origin
Agamemnon’s daughter’s throat cut
Her frailty and maidenhead Poseidon’s
Tossed smeared with violence into the ocean
That goodly winds would ferry to Illium
Angered ranks, Greeks imagining gifts requiring no thanks.
Its seed and source lost somewhere
A great confusion, a greater slaughter
A chronology of muddled, worsening revenges
Hatreds whose origins are legend
Grand pageant, action for passion’s sake
Ashes in my mouth, cudding words forsaken
Armies marching out in pagan splendour.
Alchemisland
