The Will of Set

Spiraling in madness
An idea for sacrifice
To offer onto altars
For my chosen God
Morsels delectable
Meaty and divine
Choices are limited
Why can't I find
Proper offerings?

Idols sculpted nightly
Reflecting sacrifice
Cast out discarded
In reverent wastes
Lesson lacerations
Are repercussions
For my utmost failure
My damnation
For my shortcomings

The hiss of a deity
The claws reprimand
Lowly servant
Your will, my command

Sacraments
Made in bonded time
When man needs a god
To feel complete

Offerings laid on plates
Tuna, beef, sacrifice
Poultry perfectly
Season to purrfection
Feline salivation
Leads to salvation
I offer something more
Some Temptations
Will that be enough?

The hiss of a deity
The claws reprimand
Lowly servant
Your will, my command
