A Shadow of his Former Self

Frozen and ageless
broken and harmless,
God, seated on his throne
above a threadbare carpet.

Rotting in soiled rags,
of former glory.

Like a vulture
pecking at bonemeal,
mindless of the filth
gathering below its lofty perch,

Pissing itself in time
for one last feast.
