Loki and his Children

the softest laugh

the warmest grin

sparkling eyes

hide the pain he’s been in

outstretched arms

mischievous heart

trickster god to the bone

Loki loves his children

Fenrir chained

Hel bound to her kingdom

Jormangdr tossed away

and he longs to be with them

but the gods decreed-

the children are monsters

only Loki sees

their tears

hears echoes of their laughter

Loki loves his children

he reaches the lost

whispers to the hopeless

lifts up the forgotten

gives strength to the broken

the outcasts, the misfits,

the marginalized, the in-between

he finds them, guides them

makes them seen

Loki loves his children

hunted down by the gods

for confessions over supper

he’s been punished before

but Odin wants him to suffer

being bound to a rock

facing snake’s venom, bad as it was

was nothing compared to knowing

he was bound in the bowels

of his son

he’ll break free

in the end

burn the world

just for them

With the Internet going down the "nothing adult, no death, no nothing. Make it kid friendly" route,

What is a concentration camp?

concentration camp, internment centre for political prisoners and members of national or minority groups who are confined for reasons of state security, exploitation, or punishment, usually by executive decree or military order. Persons are placed in such camps often on the basis of identification with a particular ethnic or political group rather than as individuals and without benefit either of indictment or fair trial. Concentration camps are to be distinguished from prisons interning persons lawfully convicted of civil crimes and from prisoner-of-war camps in which captured military personnel are held under the laws of war. They are also to be distinguished from refugee camps or detention and relocation centres for the temporary accommodation of large numbers of displaced persons.

Actual Norse Mythology:

Freya: *asleep in her bed when the phone rings. She picks up the reciever without saying a word.*

Odin: FREYA! YOU HAVE TO HELP US! LOKI AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY FUNNY TO DISGUISE OURSELVES AS DWARVEN PROSTITUTES AND INFILTRATE THIS GIANT KING'S PALACE BUT NOW LOKI IS PREGNANT I'M ENGAGED TO SEVEN DIFFERENT GIANTS, THERE'S THIS HORSE! CALL THOR SO HE CAN HIT THE PROBLEM REALLY HARD AND-

receiver, unplugs the phone,

and goes back to sleep.*

Storyteller,

Trickster,

Cunning-God,

Show us joy and love and happiness in trying, scary times.

Loki,

Fire god,

Loving Parent of the discarded,

Share your stories and give comfort to those who too often go without.

Loki,

God of many faces,

Shapeshifter,

God who uses he/she/they,

Protect those targeted for being themselves,

Hail Loki,

who lightens even the densest air

with a laugh and a wink

and a joke that would not impress your mother,

Accompany me as I embark

on this sinfully boring journey

whisper jokes into my ears–

the kind you’d hear on a middle school playground

While I don a disguise

of focus and ambition,

Please be a momentary distraction.

Allow me many quiet giggles,

but not so many that I drop my facade.

Spice up the mundane,

but just a touch.

A good seasoning is balanced,
