This is the Banishing

Tristan Robert Lange

There’s magic in these hands.
Bet you did not know that.
Deep magic—
Profound,
Powerful,
Persistent.
 
And, not just in the hands.
No, I am a wyrm wizard,
A spirit shadowstepper.
 
I stand there
And appear here,
I fly while grounded;
I am a sky walker.
 
You came to devour,
You came to consume,
But you didn’t know
This orgy has you on the menu!
 
So, there it is—
Welcome to the party—
Ain’t no thang but a chicken wang.
Suck it!
 
And there ain’t no escape!
No escape!
This is DD Day baby!
And I’ve got a party
Of demons to deliver
Straight back to torment.
 
Hahahahahaha!
 
There is great medicine—
Powerful medicine—
In this body.
 
I may be gazing upward to see hell,
But you’ll forever be looking up
 
To see me.
 
You know what this means?
I am finally
 
Free.

          Good write Luke! Sooo, you're a sky walker (Star Wars. LOL). Ohh, I dunno, aren't Obi and Popeye the only free ones? I'm talking utter rubbish now! lol.

            "You came to devour,
            You came to consume,
            But you didn’t know
            This orgy has you on the menu!"

            I'm pretty sure there is more to this piece than meets my eye, but these four lines are a standout for me and I bloody wish I'd written them when I was banging on about consumerism, the climate crisis and so on.
            Thanks, Tristan. 👍👍
