The Mandate

The elixir of life to his red lips,
The smiling god let out a deep breath,
Wondering aloud what went flips
with his creations down beneath.

The covenant before him declared clear
that every fellow in ground mellow
Would be back in heaven's shore
should they face any horror low.

The labyrinthine file riling him
Bore witness to his subjects' spite
As one by one, his deputies hum
Of the rum faced by the finite.

Hunted to extinction, the animals in the fore,
Raped and killed, the women followed.
The pedopath's targets, crawled azure,
The bigots' prey laid wallowed.

Countless numbers down the queue,
The deputies scrambled for every space
To house the returnees back in the hue,
gazing across the hell in blaze.

Travelling down the memory lane,
The divine murmured a crime he shake
When he shared that self alone
In the skins varied and never alike.

Discussing with his angels round,
The king of kings read out the bill,
"Renovate hell to heaven astound,
And mend the earth, for the king of hell"
