Apollyon's Saint Heavens Abominations
by Zachary Koukol
The fouth part in the series Apollyon's Saint. Not alone, the Abomination's rejected by the heavens and lost to hell, join Cains forces. The stitched together soul named only in the bible as the concubine of Bethlehem. Named by Cain as heavens harlot, tortured by an entire village and cut to pieces by her lover. As well as the mighty king Abimelech, all seek to recruit Gabriel in destruction.Standing alone in this world, we face the important question of how singular we truly are. What unites us, and what divides us?Perhaps the answers lie in self-knowledge - or perhaps the way out is to place faith in objective reality.Who is it that grasps at straws - the scientist within you, or the poet within you?Which is more valuable in this world: Facts, personal truth - or faith in higher planes of existence?These ten poems (with some prose) explore what is, and perhaps always was and will be, the greatest dilemma of human existence.I find my own answers, but leave it to the reader to find their own.
