Hellbound and spiralling down down down

there can be no earthly hope

and nothing is absolved

the Yazidi manifestation of Melek Ta’us

ironically a bird of paradise

perches here on shed roofs

displays like the halos of angels fallen  

you can tell me in the words of Anton La Vey

rules laid down by fools for fools

we do what we damn well like

and will worship devils in our own damned way

we have no need of church

or someone to preach

we evangelise not and each to their own

by the banks of the Tigris where Lalish stands

by the tomb of Shaykh Adi tranquil

in the valley hewn by Shaytan

akin to Jinn Iblis of the later coming devotees of Ali

who surround this lovely place

tear up and smash everything

burn every god mantra symbol and live for this day
