Rae’s thoughts and hope
He preached, he prayed, in a place, in a congregation,
He possessed an extraordinary imagination,
A charm that mesmerised all, made him a believable preacher,
But after prayers, the preacher never returned and so did not the holy teacher,
Because what he appeared in these holy sessions was a false projection of him,
Behind his conscience and veil of charm was hidden an abominable world grim,
Like in all of us, he too was a host to a resident beast,
Who regularly on his fancies and endless wishes did feast,
He had resolved to taming the congregation and not the beast he was constantly feeding,
Within him, with a renewed virility, new forms of evil were breeding,
As the congregation left and he eased his hands held in prayer,
He frantically shook them to get rid of the evil layer,
That he recognised but never wanted to let go,
Maybe that is why the priest that stood here was forsaken by his priestly conscience long ago,
So after every prayer, the preacher never returned, just a man with the beast did,
And then behind the morbidity of thoughts and endless fantasies this man hid,
To feed the beast in million ways,
In those vacant hours of nights and endless days,
Because after the prayers the preacher never returned, only his beast affiliated part faced everyone,
As he fed himself on diabolic thoughts and vile imaginations of always someone, a new one,
And this is how the preacher lived until his last day,
He was still the same and he had decided not to change anyway,
And when Lucifer claimed his soul, he was confused too,
Because the beast in him was there so was the preacher too,
It was difficult to tell them apart,
And neither of them alone wanted to depart,
They had fused into one and Lucifer gave them a puzzled look,
Then he looked inside himself and he was completely shaken, and the ground under his feet shook,
The beast had already claimed his soul unaware that he is the God of Hell, the creator of all abomination,
So he cast the beast back into the preacher and now they live in this immortal curse of incarceration,
Where the preacher feels imprisoned by the beast and beast feels imprisoned by the preacher,
Because after knowing the soul of Lucifer the beast had become lot meaner,
Thus began the preacher’s never ending curse,
He does not die, although he longs for it and keeps staring at the hearse,
Because Lucifer did not want a greater God in his own kingdom,
Now preacher is the victim of his own knowledge of evil and his wretched wisdom,
The congregation is free, because they have learned to establish direct communion with the God,
And now they don’t have to deal with the preacher who always after prayers acted diabolically and in ways odd.
