In Devotion Towards All
By Virgils Vigil
We have become the gods
and the gods have become us
and when the sky falls unto the earth
in shrouds of mist
we will swallow whole our sorrows
drinking fully the moisture
filling our lungs to the brim
with inner peace and death
before unbeknownst to man
and womankind alike
for all humanity
lacks conviction and wisdom
virtue and all attributes accountable
that may attribute to the apprehension
of such vast and insurmountable
planes and epochs of existence,
which the universe holds
infinitely
and beyond—
we are ants
to its merciless mercy
and unforgiving forgiveness
beloved
loathsome love,
which I sacrifice myself to
as should all others
eternally,
body and soul,
indiscriminately so.

The dedication and devotion is love, but not to love itself, which often abandons us. More so an impeccable knowledge that may never be attained, but forever lustfully pursued.
