The Satan is in the System

Evil comes not in horror packages—
Made up obviously repulsive—
Primed to scare people away;
Instead, it perniciously portrays
Righteousness—always self-signed.
Evil is the aggrandizement of ego.

       O woe!
 We pass off our sins as salvific and force Satanic ultimatums.
  				         God sees.

the wicked worship evil systems—true
they hide behind religion and run from
all expressions of truth—ban and stop
any who speak—ignore the alibi
and deem any who hold to truth the traitor
not just nations—the Church reflects empire

Written in my 🜂 Biaxial Parallax Form, the devil’s always in the details.
