demons are tearing at the hologram

demons are tearing at the hologram


demons are tearing at the hologram

but the whole remains hidden within each fragment of creation

the weave lost, but not the pattern

winds of change impregnate the air

their messages absent of rhyme or reason

a sinister melody accompanies nature’s cries 

the ground shakes, then becomes hot and brittle

vapour forms round the child's tears

naked, tattered and alone

a tiny dog rests by his feet

the canine's protecting skeleton remains curled in pain

confusion accompanies the catastrophic scene

collapsed telephone poles eerily crossing each other 

forming a Fibonacci of Xs

bird feathers assist in the formation of a toxic whirlpool

the landscape littered with the remains of what once was

marching boots and bullets heard in the distance

brother warring against brother

ascending souls mire the reddened backdrop

lifted by the warm fires of Hell

the distant stars hide their extinguishing glow

while flickering halos continue to comfort the forlorn saints 

in their midst, Mother Mary appears

manifesting Heaven’s heroes whose hands are stricken by languor

God's melancholy left only to measure the madness

judgement no longer necessary


thank you,

joseph pede
