Pas de deux
“And no wonder for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” (2 Corinthians 11:14)
He may have found his plan
But he’s still missing a conscience
God complex
No convent
Preaching nonsense
All but honest
Not a doctor
But he can heal you
Through the doctrine
Peré of protestant
He’s confident
Declaring his modesty
Pure hypocrisy
His ideology
Paradoxically
Impossibly
Ecclesiastical dichotomy
Wants to be
A religious legacy
But his dishonesty
Displays his falsities
Through wrongfully
Socking me
Until I bleed
And it’s a true story
The control freak
Publicly adores me
Privately releases his fury
On me
He’s repeatedly sorry
But it’s all for show
Superficial
Only until
Another window
Opens
It’s a simple
Recurring syndrome
And I’m the victim
In this system
And the symptoms
Are harsh conditions
And it’s not love
But it sure gives
Knocking me off my feet
A meaning alternative
To one that’s sweet
And it’s discreet
Charming in the street
Though his daughters
Can still feel the heat
Of his rage
Faced with defeat
Kept in their cage
Feeling like prey
Do as they may
Fighting with words
But what they say
Cannot be heard
Over his fists
That sound as a mockingbird
Matching his mocking words
Chirp Chirp
But in the end
The only real thing silenced is
His supposed godliness,
Taking me by the wrists,
Therein cannot exist,
Within this thin shell of false holiness
Without chipping away
His temporary masquerade
But I am afraid
As his facade decays
He will be enraged
Even more deranged
And his actions will display
The bending of his brain
These mental games
Played for control
Reverse the roles
They take a toll
On his sanity
You cannot continually bestow brutality
Whilst proclaiming perfection actively
It’s blasphemy
Signs of multiple personality
But it’s not hard to see
Optically conspicuous
That he wishes
To be like Jesus
But he looks more like prosthesis
In a million pieces
Sir, weakness
Cannot be charged on Visa
As for the secrets
You know, the beatings
They’re existence won’t cease with
Innumerable stockholder meetings
Economic competing
Is fleeting
He sees this
Becomes sleepless
The guilt is intravenous
Left resonating inside needleless
Until his needle is
Needed quick
A mean addict
At his wit's end
He sticks it
Clenched fists
And it's only ironic
That this drug so diabolic
Could leave him helpless
With uncanny resemblance
To his victims
Similarly defenceless
The menace
Finally gets it
What it's like
To be dependent
So he ends it
And it's not hard
Just enlarge
His dose by three parts
And it hits the spot
But his heart stops
So the same
Vice that gives him life
Also stops his breath
Going to whence he came
Into and out of the dark depths
God Bless
