CHANGE

Gotterdammerung.

When the hidden forced itself to be heard 

A great explosion of igneous heat

The jahiliya that festered in the wound

A house of lies falling under its own weight.

The idols and gargoyles in the pantheon

Grimace mute as it burns about them

The sacrificial fire that caught Caesar's robe

The plane that hits the Pentagon

The olive trees that the Devil felled in mischief

Blazing in Hell, awaiting an inevitable justice.

Gotterdammerung!

A veil of soil peeled back to reveal the insects

Hiding from warmth, readying for a carnival of rot

The reign of the King of Insects over once fertile soil

The tribute of his devotees in takathur of decay

A land upturned by its rightful false gods.

And if there must be inferno that brings death

Perhaps it will cleanse the rot and plague away

If the Lord of Detrius must play arsonist

Then let it char his castles of clay

For if the day leaves, it must return

If there must be grief, may I learn

And may the flowers bloom once again from

Gotterdammerung.

INKTOBER 1: GARGOYLE/"CHANGE"

MUSIC: Adagio from Bruckner's 7th symphony

VIDEO: "Come And See" (1985), Klimov; some imagery is inspired by the film Epic (2013).

When a season of rot sets into a forest, all must bow to entropy, until fire turns the rot into mulch for the next generation of Life. Gotterdammerung.
