An untold oracle

by Gaye

He was the ‘revealer of light’ Oracles he read, forecasted future, Time moved, rustic life stood still "Look back and see, there is change." There’s no trial left The deity acquired the bloody body. Predictions are vague, he cried in pain And he danced to his unshakable faith. The God revealed! The divine and man in a union of its own, Patrons wept and asked for blessings. Serpent’s crown over God’s head- Shone in the dark light, his golden breast And pointed teeth, sharp as arrows- Pierced the patrons, they collapsed in devotion. The dead hero arose with Godliness He is God, his blood is divine. There is change, there is change! The drums arose and it stroke bold, Patrons cried in religious zeal The God plunged himself into the bonfire He reincarnated. Born again to die again! Born again to die again! There is no change! There is no change!
