Sacrificial Hymn Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Sacrificial Hymn



I sold my soul
for new meter and rhyme

Trading salvation,
for a thing greater still

The joyous embrace
of one hell damning phrase

Now immortal, perpetual,
—fulfilled

I sold my soul
as the Devil laughed

Knowing not, my final words
were for him

Exposing his lie,
and his legions of hate

With my last breath,
—a sacrificial hymn

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February,2016)
