Ananke
God of compulsion from the Orphic pantheon
Of endearingly specific deities
Obscure and forgotten
She who sits cross-legged and serpentine weaving at the loom of fate
Long and late into each consecutive night
She who forgets to stretch and eat and hydrate
Who once curled herself around the cosmic egg
Until the shell cracked open and the universe escaped
And whose creative vision for set a perpetual machine
Whirring into motion
Ananke
God of compulsion god of necessity
Patron saint of those who cannot work gently
Who can only corner their prey and kick its fucking teeth in
Wringing the riches out of its britches and can't stop until it's dead
The god of destructive repulsive Kubrickian mania
The god of those who are enslaved
And we are all slaves
Some of money some of chance some of love or sickness
Others are forced by mass opinion or the threatening of law
To act against their nature
Well Ananke is the god of duty and coercion
And therefore the god of war
The god of frightened soldiers packed in by their commanders
Tight between the horses and the infantry
No room to run away
All must stand and fight in the shadow cast by Ananke's light
Because she is the god of inevitability
Of bonds stronger than blood and thicker than gravity
The god of "if X then Y if Y then Z"
The god of determinism and video game development
Of dominoes as far as the eye can see
Ananke
Our lady of "I've forgotten how to do anything else"
Personification of "I am the sum of the things I create"
Partner of Kronos god of time
Who has barely spoken to her in weeks
Ananke
Who hears all prayers and answers none
Who never clocks out
Whose work is never quite done
God of slavery god of necessity
God of compulsion
Let me get some sleep tonight
Please
God of compulsion from the Orphic pantheon
Of endearingly specific deities
Obscure and forgotten
She who sits cross-legged and serpentine weaving at the loom of fate
Long and late into each consecutive night
She who forgets to stretch and eat and hydrate
Who once curled herself around the cosmic egg
Until the shell cracked open and the universe escaped
And whose creative vision for set a perpetual machine
Whirring into motion
Ananke
God of compulsion god of necessity
Patron saint of those who cannot work gently
Who can only corner their prey and kick its fucking teeth in
Wringing the riches out of its britches and can't stop until it's dead
The god of destructive repulsive Kubrickian mania
The god of those who are enslaved
And we are all slaves
Some of money some of chance some of love or sickness
Others are forced by mass opinion or the threatening of law
To act against their nature
Well Ananke is the god of duty and coercion
And therefore the god of war
The god of frightened soldiers packed in by their commanders
Tight between the horses and the infantry
No room to run away
All must stand and fight in the shadow cast by Ananke's light
Because she is the god of inevitability
Of bonds stronger than blood and thicker than gravity
The god of "if X then Y if Y then Z"
The god of determinism and video game development
Of dominoes as far as the eye can see
Ananke
Our lady of "I've forgotten how to do anything else"
Personification of "I am the sum of the things I create"
Partner of Kronos god of time
Who has barely spoken to her in weeks
Ananke
Who hears all prayers and answers none
Who never clocks out
Whose work is never quite done
God of slavery god of necessity
God of compulsion
Let me get some sleep tonight
Please
