A Cacodemon's Sermon: Message to a Eudemon (Free verse) by Y2kSlamPoet
A man with the love of Jesus,
may see my outward rags and
loud maledicts against sheep,
and think me cursed with poverty.
My belt holds my knife,
ragged sleeves hide hands,
that appear quickly to cuff
those that offend me.
Within a secret pocket
is a gun, used only
when I must. I have not
yet felt the need to do so.
Bullets are appropriate
if my target is a coward
who wishes to formally demand
battle from afar.
They may be used if
one is foolish enough
to order me to walk
a few paces and turn
to pull a trigger.
I won't disgrace myself
by standing in front
of a cowards projectile.
Never shall I be lazy
and use such tools of death.
The love of pure killing
incites me to rush
in close, to enjoy
the feel of skin
quickly turned
into dark colors.
A barbarians music
is self made, the sound
crafted with skill, so all
can hear my victim scream.
Fists of combat must feel
bones shatter, a barbaric crusader
knows fairness is nonexistent.
These things are but the lesser tools
in my collection of consecrated items.
I have blood; life
that courses through me.
Blood that maybe will
provide the wine of love
and hate, for a young one
who has earned his intoxication
by draining my divine delta.
This drink must be sipped slowly,
served fresh, quickly poured
into goblets so that lips
shall be warmed, painted
to give a chill to those
that abhor this rare lipstick.
The true treasure that I have,
is the smiles from Nemesis,
my seductress.
She smiles, pleased each time
she hears the symphony of reverence
delivered from the mouths of transgressors
who do not obey the jurisprudence
of her blessed disciples.
