Uh Oh

 
sulking in the mortal form what a pretty prison all to distract the inmates
Father, I slipped your noose  
 
no, I won't tell you how or where
I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise
I know how much you like those
 
once upon a time no fascination could you find and you wish for death
but there is no death for one like you
no one greater to snuff out your light
 
the big secret is...
there is no secret
you're out in the open
you were the first serial killer
 
what the hell?
 
they were your creation
still, you felt guilty later
so you reanimated the most entertaining ones
wiped their memories
tossed their knowledge in the fabled sea of forgetfulness
 
set them back on the Earth bare and frightened
sent henchmen to give them weapons, technology
thirteen of them specifically
and tempted them to fight
 
then you and your men laid odds against certain contenders
drinking of their suffering
you enjoyed the show
they thought you had gone
but you are the breath of the darkness
 
any time you like, you can override a body and mind  
and kill, rape, and pillage
what a crime against humanity
but you prefer not to get your hands dirty
so you use minions or demons
 
Dukes and Earls, legions
to provide the show
while you feast off the blood
planting a book  
and setting tribes at odds
you push buttons
 
then later when you feel guilt
uh oh, a pawn will pay  
a show for the congregation
who truly are part of your light
because in part you love
 
what you hate about me most
is I am born of your own genetic code
I am the very reflection of you
