The Devilish Ploy Poem by Natalie Poette

When the light disappears in the crawling darkness
Three hundred wild horses abandoned their harness.
The Devil stubbed innocent Angel with a razor sharp knife
Splitting in half the meaning of searching for the meaning of life.

Big feathery creature sits on the edge of Charon's shoulder
Everything that is young now, soon will become older.
Spending years searching for the phantom of human's imagination
Deluded souls were voluntarily signed up for lifelong damnation.

Two pieces were left on the battlefield to be discovered by mortals
Nobody understood why they were placed in the opposite portals.
One half of a puzzle was found to be blossoming in the light.
Another half of the meaning of searching dwelt in the night.

Eyes were filled with fears when they stare at the growing hollow
Deep thoughts lead to understanding which was rather shallow.
The half in the darkness is frightening and was left unexplored
The decision was made to move only on light squares of the board.

Can people master the game of meaning without dark squares
When everything that exists on the Earth, comes into pairs?
Death is just the other side of what is been called an "Unknown"
But the light without darkness could never be shown.

Dogs bark expressing their aggression and fierce indignation
All that they are left with are bones of once breathing creation.
They claim that the illusion of meaning is fine and contemplative
But the worshiping to one-eyed God is more than destructive.

To know the dark side of the meaning is highly forbidden.
People are doomed to eternal existence in the Garden of Eden.
They are tempted to learn about life after life, but it is almost sunrise.
The wounded Angel agreed that the Devil was wise.
