My Father, My God
This is a revelation:I am waiting here to die. Hanging and bloodied; the apple of my Father's eye. An ample carnal offering to forever sate his ire; The emaciation of the soul, the evisceration of desire.
'But my children! My children, mourn not my battered flesh; Cover thine eyes from the blood of reality; In harmony and agony, my grace will guide you through; To comfort you, within you; to punish you, become you.'
My eyes peel open, I'm met with a mirror of black; This lack of divine, no light shining back. Withering image of flesh and bone, earth and stone; The cave has been opened, can I step outside? The sun illuminates truth; I close my eyes.
'My children! My children, gather now around; Bear witness to this martyrdom; the lamb of god, Slaughtered on this maternal ground. Stakes pierce the flesh, my blood is freed for you; She drinks my blood for you!'

What love warrants the suffering of anyone?
I look to the crowd to seek their approval; But they bark and they snarl and lust at my removal. They condemn like Gods! Yet they wield no power. And such is humanity; 'Why embrace, when we can devour?'
I now am helpless, nothing, free; sunlight pours in; Cosmic vastness, revelation; Death, the only end. Now that I can see, I close my eyes forever; I feel that void; feel hysterical laughter. I hear the voices of the dead, and the irony in their calls; Now that they can see, there's nothing to see at all.
My Father, my father, progenitor you cannot be; This flesh is the summation of all that I am, all I shall ever be. My Father, my God, Why have you forsaken me?
