Divinity's Hymn
I sold my soul
for new meter and rhyme
Trading salvation
for a thing greater still
The joyous embrace
of one hell damning phrase
Now immortal, perpetual
—fulfilled
I sold my soul
as the Devil laughed
Knowing not, my final words
were for him
Exposing his lie
and his legions of hate
My last breath
—Divinity’s hymn
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)
