Viva the Serpent

Another Satanism based work this time drawing its main inspiration from the cryptic and arcane style of the Comte de Lautremont's magnum opus Les Chants de Maldoror. Similar to its antecedent work fundamentally (Ora Pro Nobis Satanas), this second poem/infernal verse proudly invokes the prose style of Les Chants' eponymous character, Maldoror, and especially plays with his views towards both God or "the Creator" and also upon mankind's subservience to him in spite of his constant abasement of them. As is Maldoror, I predicated this upon shattering delusions and delivering poignant criticisms of what Nietzsche coined "Die Herde" , although it is also softened by a more individualist, self empowering LaVeyan edge before again spiralling into the dizzying disorienting journey and simile thronged style of Maldoror. As with the previous chunk of devilish scribbling, I have included a myriad of inspirations and references. This work includes reference to Poe, points from Richard Dawkins and even Ricky Gervais, the constant irony, hypocrisy and self-ridiculing of orthodoxies, and finally for added irony, a small piece facetiously displaying how in his quest of biblical report, Milton has made Lucifer a paragon and the original Antihero. Common sense also plays an integral roll in anything like this, but...well.
