Belief

Humans know nothing!

Belief

The caricature of the raven

set in glass,

sharp shards smashed

to earth

until all pottery

returns to dust

and poetry

to ashes.

The fates which become us

are indeed dark.

They hang like black bats

from old rafters

full of woodworm and rot.

they stink like sewers,

their stench suffocating,

squeezing life from

once bright hearts.

You who think

you are followers of God

know nothing,

for deep in Hades

are only mirrors.

Many thanks for reading and commenting Matthew.

They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. This made me think of the song by Counting Crows, "The Rain King" and these lyrics,
"When I think of heaven
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
I think of flying down into a sea of pens and feathers
And all other instruments of faith and sex and God
In the belly of a black-winged bird
Don't try to feed me
'Cause I've been here before and I deserve a little more" Anyway, I enjoyed the read. Peace.

Thank you for sharing these lyrics which are new to me Fabian. Many thanks for reading and responding.

The entire album August and Everything After by Counting Crows is just great music. My two personal favorites are The Rain King and Mr. Jones and Me. I like all kinds of music with an emphasis on great lyrics of course...I'm listening to Bob Dylan at this moment.

The greatest hell must be one where we are made to watch ourselves forever, our thought and intent magnified, stark, so distorted and ugly This is deep John.
