Rise of Jove
The promise of eternal damnation
Increases Joveʹs dominion as men pray
For peace on earth, hopes of soul‐salvation
Ensures all hear whenever angels play;
Like Cinque Ports
When England puts to sea
Heavenʹs myriad courts offer Him fealty.
As men know so many heavens
There can only be but one
Framed by wide, white cloudy mountains
Paradises perch’d upon,
Home to immortal denizens,
Regnant, remember’d, gone –
A continent carved from our earthly prayers,
A world of worship, circles, song & layers.
Jove names his slice Divinnia
The grandest of them all,
Call him FATHER, this new ‘Allah’
Must to his mercy fall
Upon the fields above the skies in fierce angelic brawl
Divinnia
War in Heaven
As thought is the shadow of sensation
& action the raison dʹetre of thought,
Since Allah succumbʹd to his ambition
Heaven by despʹrate civil strife is caught;
Ecephia
This vital battle frames,
Coruscus theatre of cataclysmic flames.
As greek meets greek in feats of war,
Be they sacred games or real,
Two angel armies leap & roar
To the divine trumpetʹs peal,
Archangels straining at the fore,
The battlefield to steal ‐
How proud grew each god of his leuitenant,
Jove, Satanus & Allah, Tervagant.
Duel fought exhausted til standstill,
The generals must meet
Upon a hill, ʺWhy do we kill,ʺ
Sang Jove, ʺWhen love so sweetʺ
ʺThen let us truce,ʺ sang Allah, ʺ& deduce evilʹs defeat.ʺ
Divinnia
