I Am The Angel Hunter
My knuckles are tattooed D.E.M.O.N which stands for
Destroy.Every.Angel
I hunt angels.
My hell forged revolvers shoots 6.66 calibur rounds and my clip size is 66.6
Each shot leaves a trail of demonic retribution and peirces with the angst of 1000 alcoholic fathers.
Each target, an angel, a warlord of God, a symbol of the great oppressor.
My final contract is to kill God, the king of angels. Prince Jesus will fall to lakes of lava as well, he is the prince of angels.
When my deed is done, I will evaporate all of the universes holy water so that no more children can be baptized, no more angels can be born. With this, I will have hunted angels postmordem, beyond death, by erasing the existence of angels from humanity. Children born in the following millenia will have no concept of angels because I, the angel hunter, will have hunted and killed all my prey, and the blood moon will rejoice and rain fire and brimstone upon the society of oblivion golems in the wake of my destruction.

In terms of content, I found the belligerence of the piece to be somewhat refreshing. I mean a poem with a subject matter such as this should be belligerent. I perceived great rage and a relishing in the fear that the concept could bring to people. The mentioning of alcoholic fathers made me realize that there are agents killing angels at all times. Great write thanks for sharing.
On a more technical note, I'm confused by the terms revolver and clip. Aren't they mutually exclusive? I searched for a possible artistic meaning to this but found none. On the other hand, I did notice that -D.E.M.O.N- cannot be an acronym for "destroy every angel" it could however be an acronym for -destroy every monster- which is great as a hidden antonymic aspect of the poem.
Welcome to DU. Look forward to seeing you around.

Moe "revolver" and "clip" aren't mutually exclusive because they're Metaphors; imperfect yet impactful parallels between the mechanics of deathmaking and the mechanics of lifemaking. I saw the Freudian symbolism right away: the revolver is the (dangerous, "masculine") penis whereas the clip is the (potent, fertile) eggs. By synergizing the phallic and the yonic into a whole, EdgierThanACliff's protagonist transcends the gender binary created by God. Of course, God here is only a metaphor as well, a personification of the patriarchal power structure of western civilization, and the economic system upon which it is institutionalized. Just as the "Angel Hunter" uses God's creations to usurp, so too must the common laborers of the earth unite to overthrow the Gods of Money and Coroporatism.
In just seven lines of text--SEVEN LINES--this poet has brought together Atheism/Nihilism, Feminist/Queer Theory, Marxism, and Psychoanalysis into a unified critique of society, all tied together in the style and setting of a Post-apocalyptic pulp film. In other words, I like this kid's style.
