"The Unsuspecting" — Poetry by Maxwell Vagus — An Atomic Voodoo Lounge Podcast Short

Puncturing a Hole into Heaven

“The Unsuspecting” is a poem written and read by Maxwell Vagus, featured on Season 2: Episode 2 of The Atomic Voodoo Lounge Podcast.

“The Unsuspecting”

I grow so tired

Of that old cliché

populating

Science fiction, comic books,

And video games –

The one where some

Mad scientist

Or

Evil corporation

Creates

A gateway to Hell

And

Out pour the demons.

/

When will someone

Puncture a hole

Into

Heaven

Releasing angels

To overrun

The unsuspecting?
