Truth hidden in lies
Satan in the books on fire.
Haunted by the educated smoke
and the whispers of knowledge
lost in the wind .
Frightened by the empty soul
who’s facing eternity alone .
Slithering evil in snakes eyes
lightning crawls inside the nerves
welding eyes open in terror.
Confessions of sleepy loneliness
In the restless path that follows
the smoldering residue
and ashes of literature.
Demons in the shadows of dreams
Roughhanded angels deferring
to the resplendent ones
who propagate lies
and burn our books .
