Joshua Roberts

the summoning ritual was completed long ago
the child of evil was born and walked upon the earth
so bored was this offspring of the ancients
after so many millennia, finally having triumphed
he sat down in the dirt and laughed (such is the power of ennui)
at the wheel of fate, at his own anger, at everything

and a dangerous perhaps overcame him then
a strange and (for him) completely serious notion
to go home against all odds and to simply walk
back into his fathers house
as if nothing had ever happened

and like some madman departing
from his cause the moment it has triumphed
he stood outside of time and looking back
upon his works felt nothing

what is there to feel or express?
of uncanny things, all know little
and in the whole each part contained

the closing of the circle
the lesson learned all too well
