Deceptions Throne

Seated upon a throne of lies

brought to be

through the desperate desires of others

seeking a righteous change.

Voices raised in violent rape

shattering the illusions

of choice and freedom

turning back the hands of time.

Stand beneath the booming clock

unsure of which way to turn;

hesitant to accept the whispered promises

of the heaven to come…

if only you repent.

Repent of free thought

repent of opinions shared

repent of confidence

repent of all that is human.

OR

See him as he is:

Seated upon a decaying throne,

grasping talons

shredding silken dreams

silencing the screams of the devout.

The truth has been shown to the faithful

to those who demanded his ways.

Now they see that they are still what they always were,

food for the rich to prey.

Hell’s fires burn victorious and bright

tinting the world in a crimson red

and he shall bring about

the end of times,

so the prophecy has foretold.
