Apparition

Spawn of Possession

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
