A beautiful distraction
Hard-headed as soft-hearted
Be sodded but bewitched
Hypnagogic in sheer panic
Cure and killer on a switch...
By Lucifer the light bearer
Satan falls into the dark
The devil mind swings bipolar
Split heart may sway apart...
Their sigil of ancient delusion
Casting to the hearts of men
By symbolic ring of truth
Lie from the pit they send...
They're too large to have query
And too nuanced to quantize
Cry me a river of your sorrows
Says the dry heart hypnotized...
Now our germ of immortality
Spread across illusion's time
The principalities under powers
They write deceit upon the line...
So things must always break
As entropy will reign supreme
A king of shadows blocks the light
Our world is not as it may seem...

A postmodern metaphysical piece Jeff...and thankfully entropy...the laws of reversal and change do indeed reign.

Jeff, 🙃
I blew my top when I saw Lucifer is the light bearer! I just said the same thing a few days ago describing the demons origin!! Lol Talk about connections! I enjoyed this dark stroll into your mind..
Nice rhythm & rhyme scheme .
