I hereby reveal my plans for humanity.
I take solace in the certainty that too few
will attend this forewarning to arm you against me
or alter your collective course from onrushing doom.
To squander every advantage is your way.
Were I not forbidden to exceed trickery,
I would begin at this very moment to flay your soul
and burn you to shrieking ash.
I would extinguish your dim and flickering light
with a single breath, draw you down into eternal darkness
and with your own help, will yet do so.
Already, my triumphs halt you in your tracks,
arrest your progress, stunt your growth
and lead you far astray; even to the edge.
I poisoned your past to doom your future.
I authored a virulence, sold as salvation.
Let those who claim to believe, follow their scripture!
Every woma
