an original poem by Joshua Brown

Did this woman escape death

To leave me here encompassed?

And there in that darkened air

Putrid with inexcusable indiff

Anyways on to the next day

Soft pop rock plays overhead

And the dreamlike state I was

Became but a dissociative hell

No human existed there but I

In my state of unbelief in God

Wow. Was that me? Alone?

Standing looking back to Allah

The God's Son so fucking holy

Rang that belifted bell by rock

Tendered from Appalachia mount

To call all monsters up to dance

And those skin walkers brave

Pounced at opportunity to kill

The enemies of Christ proud

Anxious was I at the sounds

War cries by the dark shadows

Hoots and hollers alike spook

In response to that broken bed

On which the lion resurrected

Those monsters summoned 

Not by Hell but by his sword

That dick circumcised by rage

Against the men that raped

Dance, that immersive role

Of artists describing the scene

By emotional dissociation

Against the God-Child Himself

Praise Jesus for that human

That human

That human

That human

Fulfill your rage by blood

In the dark night surround

Against the missionaries faux

Who mistook God for man.
