The Sins of Humanity Drown in Her Ocean (w/suicideseason)

By knightmirror

crystal chandelier tears
plummet to the ground from
wings of angels directing
souls freshly dead
now forever alive
in crimsoncoated skies that
inexcusably bleed for all the
stolen heartbeats shattered

blood collects
drenches the earth
arks set sail in a crimson sea
a journey of pain and loss
resurrected spirits of yesterday
dig into healed wounds
licking them clean with serpentine tongues
i enjoy my pain nearly as much as they do

asphyxiating on windbeams of
aritificial oxygen plastered to peripheral
visions violating the viewing
hillside as their eyes were blinded by the
hailstorm reaking havoc
setting free enveloped
entities sealed with fates fear in perfectly
spaced torturous intervals

one by one marching doom
lays waste to the seeds of infernal sin
unholy fiends dig their own graves
a legion of death and retribution
purge the darkest crevices of satan's den
let the apocalypse continue

as the barren land cracks and peels
gorges of greed streamline the satin soil
as if it were million year old oil
skimming the Dead Sea since it was alive
with singing shores welcoming the
sunrise and sunset from days of young
now submerged in sulpheric sin

hell on earth the debt is paid by
souls worth pennies on the dollar
let everlasting silence remain
long after the sun has burned out

hope was never a memory

never was a memory of hope

shown in the fiery palms of minions
with mental footnotes of decapitations
branded in the lifelines of hands
shriveled from the fabricated fossils
of faceless shadows gleaming in
overshadowing forecasts of humanities failures

when the last skyscraper falls to the ground
and the dust of the bones have settled
the deeds and intentions of humanity can never be erased
nor can the memory of their suffering
god pacifies herself with this thought

then she flicks Earth like a marble
into the marble oblivion

from these experimental miscues
come true knowledge
to be used as the seeds of
tomorrow
