thinly veiled metaphors for treachery

One day,
I saw John Milton
walking down the road to perdition
which was paved
with cliches and good intentions

and along the way
we realized Nietzsche
had replaced St Peter;

switched out Heaven
for nihilism

because God's metamorphosis into finality
transcended existence

and I left you rotting
in the 9th level of camaraderie
because
betrayal
was Satan's greatest gift
to you and I
and there is no redemption for him
in our paradise, lost
