FOR THE GODS

FOR THE GODS

“which to Angels look like torment and insanity”
             ― William Blake

Made in the divine image
(thus
   fabricated)

but how come
we get
so demonic

             allow ourselves this
most poisonous pleasure

succumb to the devil
in us

from
time to time
            to most
apocalyptic
of times

all the time
(that
     divine image getting
pretty mutated)

and then (stop me
and contest this) when

we think the divine
we get
   so divisive

cannot tolerate difference
become uniquely genocidal

and so
       here the question begging
to be asked (so
superb in
question-
      begging)

which of all these
blood-soaked, blood-
spattered
                        images

is the one with true sanction
the one

             from above?

All
      from

                below
equally above.
