kingdavidslament 8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”

10 Then Jesus said to him, [b]“Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”

11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.

The Waste Whipped To Frenzy Under Vigilant Stars, Crashing Mad And Caustic, With The Ocean It Spars. Shadows Sprawl From Light Of The Bleary-Eyed Moon, Prostrate At The Presence In The Destitute Gloom. He Clung To The Ghost, It Called Him Away To Where The Locusts And The Tempests Hold Sway, To Sup On Spectral Manna, To Drink Deep The Speech, Despite Abrosia – The Guide! “The Thirst Awakens And The Hunger Grows, Sate Me On Thy Spirit, On Thy Spirit, Lord.” The Hunger That Only The Supernal Can Appease! Starvation Switing Christ Like A Spear On The Wind Against The Rocky Terraces Of Rubicund, Yet Lancing To The Saviour Through The Anguish And Noise, Balsamic Sustenance In A Fatherly Voice. He Indulged The Ghost, Which Unto Him Did The Same, For Communion Is The Vittle Surpassing The Gastric Domain, It Tended His Soul ‘Til Betwixt The Crags There Did Grow The Ambrosial Tree Of Life! “The Thirst Awakens And The Hunger Grows, Sate Me On Thy Spirit, On Thy Spirit, Lord.” The Arid Stretch With The Saviour Therein Yet Besieged By Scathing Flaws, And Jesus Kept Lidless Eyes On His Heavenly Prize, His Altruistic Cause, Whilst In His Shadow Painted Serpents Amassed From Fissures Rent With Claws… The Devil Saw Christ In His Wearied State As Upon Deprivation He Stood, And Satan leapt With Wicked Glee That His Enemy Had Such Anathema Accrued. No Knowledge He Holds Of The Benedight Soul, The Need Beyond The Pale Thus, He Shall Scheme To No Avail. “The Thirst Awakens And The Hunger Grows, I’m Sated On Thy Spirit, On Thy Spirit, Lord!”

When That Vain Heaven Spat My Caste Across The Skies, It Procured For Itself This War On Paradise. Now I Shall Rend Its Son. Bones For The Kingdom… I Am The End Of All The Works Of Men, The Learned Versed In My Original Sin. Now A Saviour Comes To Rid These Fleas Of Me, Dressed In Flesh And Its Impotency. I… The Garden's Grievous Blow. Sedition In Scarlet Skin Fed To Fools Below. My Hands… Rife With Ripened Death, Stretching Their Asphyxiants To Christ's Deprived Breath. I Am The One Slavering In The Dark, Windswept Voices Guiding Me To My Impious Mark. The Shepherd Lies Starving At My Feet, So I Shall Bring Him Food To Eat… Nazarene! Why Waste Thou Hungrily? Stop Waiting On God To Fill! He Won't And Never Will… "Thou Are The Lie Behind The Leprosy That Rots The Eyes God Gave Humanity, Seeking Not Their God But Bread In Broken Hands, Finite As The Faith Struck On The Sinking Sands."

"I Have Warred With Flaming Sword, Before The Ein Sof Trod, Yet It's Thee In Meek Frailty Revered As Son Of God? To The Temple Mount… Throw Thyself Upon The Razor-Sharp Stones. Show The Care Of Thy Father Who Called Thee His Own. Know The Angels In Heaven Shall Rush To Thy Aid, Go… Let Him His Issue Save." "Impotent, Puerile Thing! Thou Shall Achieve Nothing. Twice Thou Have Come And Now Twice Thou Shall Flee. Twisting Scripture Again To Keep The World In Sin, Thinking Thy Schemes Can Avail Thee Of Me. Thou Tout From 'Pon Thy Bier. End Of Thy Reign Is Here. Know What It Is To Fear. Test Not Thy God!" The Anthropophagous Maw Of Abaddon Then Pursed Confounded Lips On Six-Tined Tongue, Staring Ghostly Oath To Tempt Anon… Then Gone! "Though Thou Warred With Flaming Sword, Though Heaven Thou Did Trod, Know Beneath Thy Dear Deceit, I AM The Son Of God."

“I Glimpse In The Darkness God Without A Throne, Shadows Swirling Beside Him In A Kingdom Of Sand And Stone. The Shadows They Quiver With Malice, Refusing The Touch Of The Light. What Is It That Lurks On The Desert Air Tonight?” His Wretched Breath, Graveolent Exhaust To Enmire The Christ In Noxious Froth, Seething ‘Tween The Teeth Whose Gnawing Inspired Dante’s Awe. Scaled In Hematitic Pride For The Deity His Heart Defied, Wearing Hell’s Grotesqueries From Hoof To Sable Eye. This Archetypical Misanthrope Skulks His Once-Angelic Bulk To God Swathed In A Threadbare Cloak… Creation Recoils At His Presence. Light Shines Not Upon His Frame. Nature Bays Its Terror: “Anathema! Corrosion Incarnate!” “Nazarene… Bow Down Thy Brow To Me. Nazarene… All I Shall Give To Thee.” Sweet And Honey-Viscous This Reprisal Of Deceit, The Serpent Emerged From Eden’s Curse To Strike Messianic Feet, But For His Thrice-Plied Sirenical Guile This Slavering Drake Receives …A Double-Edged Sword Glossectomy. "Satan! Get Thee From Me! Worship God Only…" Thus Heaven, Seraphim-Tongued, Threads Space With Bipolar Songs, Both Joy And Lament; The Saviour, The Serpent Rent From Their Benedight Throng… LuciPhilosophaster!
