Floetry by JulietKego:
HEAVEN’S GATE

Let’s take a tour
on angels’ route
as faith takes root
demons make a detour
at the crossroads junction
where the holy unction
releases waters and oils

Hold your cynicism
at the holy exorcism
of the hellhound’s foils
there, at heavens’ gate
witness a reversal of fate
for fair Lucifer’s lair
won’t get a lock of hair

And sinner’s souls’ shell
burnt in their pits of hell
as offering to a dead Baal
the once lost possessed
now repossessed

By a ghost’s holy light,
won on a cross by his fight
at the trumpets, knees shall
bow, tongues sing alleluia
at the divine mercy of Jehovah.
