Demonic Verses
DEMONIC VERSES
I don't do demonic; they're best kept for sonnets
Best to stay in shallow water when challenging He
Writes any deeper would only get me admonished
Reed and parchments in hand I would need to flee
Olive oil lamp burners leave no scent within the air
As I settle at my stone plinth, inked reed as ready
Satan boards upon my written words without care
His petulant mood hangs in the atmosphere heavy
The labyrinth of white space, which Satan followed
As wholly aware; Satan is educated, He will devour
Every written word, each sentence then swallowed
The nearer He gets the more you sense His power
I quicken the pace as I jumped onto another page
Satan, He stops so he can read the satanic verses
Realising He has lost the plot; forwards in His rage
As the huge sway of words, around Him disperses
The labyrinth of white spaces are now most erratic
My reed lying dry in the center crease of the pages
Seeing Satan left confused, it was a sight dramatic
He couldn't make sense of the now broken phases
Satan; who causes havoc to shake us off our belief
Had by his own accord tampered his own confusion
Shocked by His own stupidity, wallowing in His grief
Is now trapped within the words, of His own illusion
Indiana Shaw . . . : /
A scriber is writing the words into a Holy Bible, when Satan jumps
into the Bible and gives the scriber's words chase, once the words
were interfered with, Satan then becomes trapped within the Bible
words themselves leaving the reader confused to which one is God
and which one is Satan because, according to learned scholars it is
the other way around, Satan is good, and it is God that is bad . . .
