Listen to poem:

Thou Art In Heaven-And Deliver Us From Hell

Oh, eternal empyrean thy thunder rumbles thru the hallucinogenic hells, Where demons disseminate decadent deeds arising from lament… As Angels plummet within their pandemonium’s pleasurable thirst, The battles that lead to wars amidst a miasmatic malignant landscape… Faithful firmament save us from these condemned calamitous clutches, For we are mere mortals masquerading as demigods in kingdoms lost… Bring us forth to Arcadia so we may heal our wasted wounds wandering, And thus mend our thoughts and ways upon Eden’s exuberant ensemble… My affliction carries on that I may abandon Gehenna and her damnation, May the soul find exoneration amongst the hellion heinous hues hiding… Ambient abyss show me immortality so I may reach exhilarating Elysium, All I see before me are scornful slaving shadows silent in their reprieve… The darkness diligent in discouraging delightful things shows me mercy, I see a pinhole of light encroaching toward my dismal delusional demise… Blinding my panoramic view I stand still like a soldier under command, And thus the Warring Angels carry me to safety landing on Shangri-La.
