To The Pagan Gods by Ajoshberry: 6:10pm On Nov 19, 2017 |
They'll tell you what they can't do,
They'll give you what they don't have-
borrowed jewel from a wretched potter:
Drunk with penury,drown in poverty.
'I'll give you diverse gift',they'll say:
It's better to go on your kneels and pray.
Than to get a token of misery,
bewitched with foggeries and fallacy,
Like a powder blown by the jealous wind-
Who couldn't attract pleasant physiognomy. They are: Plate of delicacies embroided with offensive odour, Arranged to serve the 'seekers'- Grinding their faith,polluting their conscience. Ascribed,even set on their table- Not to feed but to get rid of their freedom. Graced with deception,they troop after the delicacies, Over hunger they want to have their seat. Death then takes them captive-even eternal death. Pagan gods aren't gods, Not objects, Not Moulded, But crafted, Even sitted, In the heart- That thing that takes more of your attention. 17:19:17:17:50 |
