  666, What’s in a Number?

  Posted by Craig Matheson on October 23, 2023 at 5:13 pm

  What’s with the number 666?

  Is it loaded with parlour tricks?

  Does this writ need be ‘perfect pitch’?

  Its breadth, more than hexastich.

  What’s with the number 666?

  The Mark of the Beast or a Witch?

  ‘Hex’ – the root – may pay you enrich,

  perhaps to find noetic niche.

  Most well known is a simple hex,

  On and on such things tend to go …

  Yet more complex, some measures vex,

  hex-a-gram & hex-a-gon so show.

  6 angels, 6 points and 6 sides;

  the features of a hexagon.

  Hex: an evil curse hath surmise

  by those so beset or in drawn.

  Too, the infamous hexagram,

  666 therein all about.

  Thou, Mötley Crüe drew pentagram,

  it was at ‘the devil’ in shout.

  “Hex-ere-i” sounds like “Sex or die”,

  An ole term spelled toward witchcraft.

  To ignore, stops to seem so sly,

  but more preys to play people daft.

  The hexagon, shaped in chemistry,

  An assumed structure fit for build.

  Alliance of 6, hexarchy;

  Doesn’t need be evil for skilled.

  Cells to a beehive honeycomb,

  Habitat for health & sweetness;

  Found best strong shape to form their home,

  Such structure set to stem weakness.

  Then there’s Saturn’s polar cloud,

  a hexagonal shape at that.

  A witch for this to be allowed?

  666; Worth a deeper chat?
