Heavily secluded from all but faith, a family in hiding
from the world
Firm praying, blind loyalty, reciting words divine,
from the eldest to the
youngest one
Their sheer belief in the son’s return, if not stayed
true, in the abyss would
burn
The apparition, a messenger of the eternal scripture
Phantom of shine, disembodied and descent of heaven
The apparition, her appearance was so real
Without suspicion, all the prayers of the family were
finally heard
On a humid spring evening when the idyll couldn’t be
more perfect
Out from their flower garden, through the blinders came
an overwhelming light
They gathered on the porch and stood and watched in awe
Angelic deity, so clean, like the purest dream
Their fingers laced together, as they dropped to their
knees worshipping
Happy pearly tears, oh such beauty lives
Sweet angels dei look up on me, the apparition spoke
with a silky yet whirring
voice of wonder
You have been faithful to the omnipotent, I come to
grant you a challenge of
life
Time to show your true worth to the Lord
A paradise awaits the few undoubting
To measure up and prove them self abiding
Fulfill the needs of dominus
Then it disappeared, the unearthly seer, left the
witnesses impaired
Now they knew for sure that praying was the door to his
holiness’ embrace
The parents and younglings went inside and began
chanting pages
In front of the altar that they had built next to the
tepid white tile store
The apparition, she came and gave them hope
The apparition, why would she dupe, poor the people
thought
Their black bound bible got scrutinized, inside the
father’s head a voice would
rise
Which said
An unbeliever (the filthy child) among your flock (I
order you to punish)
Your scrupling daughter (that whoring freak) is against
us (and make her bleed)
He yanked her arm and pulled her outside, shoved her to
the dirty wall of the
tool shed
While hearing the apparition
Whipped her good ‘til it got messy, grabbed an axe he
was steered by frenzy
Just do it the voice kept ranting
As he cut away his little girl, someone walked up
behind him screaming begging
Cried in panic
He turned around and saw his loving wife, without a
blink he then knew to
attack her
Voice kept praising
Feeding her the hatchet as the apparition kept
applauding the spouse’s
onslaughter
Limbs was flying
The only child remaining was his body who saw the whole
thing from the kitchen
window
Shocked in terror
Then the voice said I shall appear, you have proven
yourself worthy
Bring me the last life of your family
Called the boy out then came the light, there it was
the apparition
Reached out for his traumatized son’s small hand
Free from sin you’ll come with me
The apparition, a messenger of the eternal scripture
Phantom of shine, disembodied and descent of heaven
The apparition, her appearance was so real
Without suspicion, all the prayers of the family were
finally
The apparition changed form into a contorted creature
Held the child in its bosom and vanished in a laughter
The father now roams around the little flower garden
God’s work he did it with pride, the final lock on the
gate is now open
