NaPoWriMo Year 5 Day 12:”Past and Future.” This prompt challenges you to write a poem using at least one word/concept/idea from each of two specialty dictionaries: Lempriere’s Classical Dictionary and the Historical Dictionary of Science Fiction.

In deep space the vacuum void sometimes leads men to Atheos,

Honey butter on a slice of warm toast,

They didn’t mean to reject God but never saw themselves in His image,

Maybe for a fleeting second but then lacking language,

To acknowledge, they beheld their own shadows,

In the end it was they, not G-d, that lead them/selves straight to the gallows.

considering Romans 9, your god already picked and chose who would go to the gallows.

    no it doesn’t depend on who you ask. It depends on literally reading the words.
