Proverbs 12:22


Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight. 

 

The creature you have become, this writing mass of serpents and fangs, claws and bone, this destructive abomination, is what you claim you do not want to be.

You, a Prophet of Distortion, a Deceiver of Form, an Inverter of Truth.

You have taken reality and tried to shape it into something else, but the power you hold isn’t nearly enough to do so.

You weave lies into this world, but soon enough people will realize the cloth over their eyes, and their awareness will be your downfall.

Your god shall cast his immolating glare upon you, this god you worship so much, this god you go against with your actions, this god who you claim to believe in.

Now, you weave this cloth like a black widow, like a seductress who waits to kill her prey, to kill those who show her affection and love.
