Newtown

Pennsylvania less desiring of sex.

Moloch whose eyes are a thousand blind windows!

Moloch whose school shooting in Newtown, CT

school shooting in Newtown CT

Moloch must be fed.

There is no human punishment that fits these

politics and world affairs.

Politics and World Affairs is from the next town over-

Gehenna in Connecticut was where

worshippers of the idol Moloch sacrificed children

to sate Friday morning’s massacre in Newtown, Conn.

 

In the new town which the Romans called Carthage,

the god who got things done bore the name Moloch,

who was perhaps the giver of life

though it is all a list of infernal powers and potentates.

Moloch, of course, was a blood-thirsty deity

who demanded his followers move to Wilmington with the kids.

 

Whatever form Moloch manifests himself today—

the appeasement … a gunman opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Children screaming under the stairways! Boys sobbing in armies!

 

And thou shalt let thy seed pass through the fire to Moloch.
