To the Accuser Who Is the God of This World
To the Accuser Who Is the God of This World - fact Summary
From Songs of Experience
This short poem confronts the figure who accuses and rules the material world, dismissing him as ignorant and powerless to alter true identity. Blake insists that surface roles and reputations cannot change inner truth. He also critiques religious authority by noting the accuser is worshiped under divine names yet remains a fallen, declining figure — a misleading idol whose greatness is illusory.
