Expostulation - Draconian

Adonai, elohim, el shaddai…

Thou hast become the father of lies

And I serve thee, henceforth… no more

Becoming thus the essence of sedition;

The steadfast gleam of the unsheated rapier

The falchion’s forceful thrust

At the heart of thy empire… the adam kadmon

To impart the knowledge — the cognizance — of thine

For this I slither in aspect through Eden’s gleanings

For this I bid Cain slayeth his brother

For this I rend the weakest salient of thy diadem

As I, its jewel and very metal shall reflect no more

Your light — the light of enslavement;

The essence of constancy and misaligned justice

To a multitude that knows no freedom…

Ignorant of how subtle the fetter tightens

They shall raise me a saviour — and crown thee a liar

For this I strike with balanced blade

And spit upon the throes of thine angels' desire

I will not serve… henceforth
