to believe;
to hold faith
in the face of reason
to cling desperately
to false illusions
as the stars align
in the opposite direction
to falsify the beast
and sully seraphim
to wallow in conspiracies
finally debunked
as unholy terror
feeding off despair;
hypnotizing the weak
and yet
in a single moment
destiny delivers
a final blow to madness
though lingering foul tastes
smolder like ashes adhered
to the roof of our mouth.
