Inverted Prayer
If some version of you or many deities exist,Why did you create us? Were you bored,
Are you testing us and yourself?
Or maybe the Gnostics were right,
We are the true creators,
And you are the fallen ones
Inverted Cross
A silver shimmering cross covered, coatedIn Dantesque infernal layers of ice
Perhaps all of hell is empty and we are here
Demon Sex
Sly seductive sexy leather clad succubusWhipping and screaming
Her voice ringing into obverses of oblivion
Demiurge
What if this supposedly moral God who created thisFallen world was inherently evil and malevolent?
The dualistic view that this world cannot be saved
Paranoid Octopi
Gödel octagonal atonal diagonal infinitiesOf sharp sleek oily tenacious tentacles
Tendrils of the deep implanting ink into the world
