Outcast

Outcast 
Man with the cloven foot walks through the night, harsh and frustrated, 
he was the result when a farmhand had intercourse with a cow... and 
when cow a cold February day gave birth on a snowy field, people fled in 
distress; the devil has been reborn they screamed and ran away.

The father of this obscenity hung from the rafter in the barn and bitterly 
thought it had all come to this because his wife slept with bloomers on. 
The child licked by warm cow tongues survived behind a hollow of a stone 
and farmers wondered why his cattle gave so little milk. 

Cloven foot, how could he hide from peoples fear and utter disgust other 
than being evil and cursing mankind, he who had done nothing but being 
a victim of a farmer hands unbecoming lust. Priests gave him the name 
Satan, although he was never been baptized. 

He survived wears a built up shoe to hide his defect, works in finance, 
spreads mayhem and poverty. “Love me he says, and I will bring peace 
but you must become vegetarians because i will not allow you to turn
my flesh and blood into hamburgers or Sunday roast.
