Reflections on Paradise Lost

Seek to turn things around,
profound sense of simian sin.
He knew humans thrilled at ego
but gave them one anyway.

Rubber-necks and lost spines;
easy way out is futile.
All the exits lead the same way,
through the house of mirrors and conscience.

Angelic powers, only show dungeons-
horrible responsability tethered
to unwilling will and lesser hope.
Drag the faces out of the light,

And show us all the dark you possess.
