good grief when you get a comment to your work that so wildly misinterprets it that you feel icky.
how do you get christian from a commentary on unchecked power & greed? how society destroys itself by enabling powerful people? i mean at least the metaphor between Earth & the poet? the death of art?? 1/3

the character murdered was a victim. there is nothing to absolve. it’s the last hate crime. at least i’d think it’s era appropriate given epstein, weinstein, or any number of powerful predators and how the world helps them destroy victims. i think the work is clear about the type of social dynamic? 2/3

ok i’m going to leave this (very good) Steam review here… which is the only interpretation of the work that i will presently accept as “nailed it”.

@alienmelon people bring a lot of themselves to poetry. Clearly that satanist is working through some stuff and it's got them listening to their own head more than the art.

@alienmelon as a satanist i don't understand symbolism but get big mad when i see a cr*ss, am i satanizing correctly?
