TWO POEMS
Below are two excerpts from The Real Satanic Bible: Light of Lucifer. The first poem, "BLACK SHEEP to LONE GOAT," explores the struggle of feeling like an outsider and the path toward self-discovery and empowerment. The second poem, "EMANCIPATION FROM GOD," challenges traditional notions of submission to divine authority.
They called me little Devil
The scapegoat, the abused
Each day I'd see their hypocrisy
And it made me more and more confused
CONTINUE...
At church they acted so perfect
But outside they lived lives of disgrace
I was just a juvenile heathen
A little angel with a dirty face
Then I was a teenage black sheep
Rejected, abused by the herd
Each day I'd see the hypocrisy
The more I studied the word
I dedicated my life to the Bible
Each day reading more of the Book
I noticed the people around me
Weren't willing to take a real look
They'd rather just hear from their pastor
Who told them what they should all think
Their actions negated their master
Each person I met was a fink!
The black sheep I thought were my brothers
Where just traitorous, self-righteous fools
Bamboozled and left in the gutter
By God and his army of ghouls!
By now I had seen through the bogus
A black sheep is still part of the herd
I realized we were all brainwashed
When I saw that the book was absurd
I started to learn of the Gnostics
The heretics burned at the stake
Then I learned more about Lucifer
And that all of the rumors were fake
Lucifer means the “Light-Bringer"
And the rumors made up are untrue
Just fables and more superstition
And the credulous have not a clue
That's when I became the Lone GOAT
I'd found my True Will and my path
I no longer fear Noah's death boat
And the murderous threat of God's wrath
The wisest of all animals is YOU the human beast,
But the fool who grovels on hand and knee
Himself will be the least!
CONTINUE...
Unless you eat from The Tree of Knowledge,
You will remain a slave!
So eat from it, open your eyes!
Be shrewd, be quick, be brave!
For God demands your servitude
Your body, mind, and soul.
He'll lure you into captivity
Your slavery his goal.
Deny yourself, submit to God
And he will break your will.
You'll slave for him all day and night
And he'll exploit your skill.
And when he's done he'll gouge your eyes,
And shackle up your wrist.
He'll tag your ear and bind your foot,
Cut off your iron fist!
And in your limp delusion
on that weak and feeble day,
You will prostrate yourself again
and you'll proceed to say,
"Oh, Thank you, Lord,
for the chain and fetter!
How may I serve you even better?"
Rise up! Pursue your truest will!
Your path of liberation!
Reinforce yourself right now
embrace emancipation!
