Delusion - Ikuinen Kaamos

The pale shadows flickered on the wall

Offering a refuge from

The dismal glance

The man sat at a table with his hands

Crossed

And muttered a blessing in a drunken

Stupor

The somber room reeked of oppressive

Piety

Spreading the disease of divine hypocrisy

In the

Shadows a wife and child slept

Weary eyes closed in a

Listless grief

A silence hovered outside in a

Pitch-black darkness

The man’s delusion

Demons with

Lizard-like tongues and blackened wings

A curse on his

Beloved

His fearful eyes darted around the desolate

Room

And caught a shotgun hanging on the wooden

Wall

The man sat at the edge of a bed

And

Farewelled his sleeping family

The cold barrel pressed

Against their forehead

In a calm devotion before the blast

The thunder silenced into a whisper

And raised the

Smoke of lost tomorrow
