Darkness

Blind light­ning snakes invis­i­ble against the coal black night
Macabre laugh­ter drowns out the pleas of the Poets
The death rat­tle of inno­cence masks the Bard’s song
The empty stom­achs of the hun­gry
Roared in thun­der­ous accusation

The uni­verse was engulfed in shad­ows
The Moon doused its radi­ance
Light died painfully
Its screams sucked down
At the point of singularity

Hun­gry ani­mals devour the strong
While the meek became chaff for the scythe
The preacher man wrung his hands
And cursed God
Love became rape
Can­ni­bal­ism replaced altruism

The Few
Hud­dled in the cold sheen of despair
And lis­tened to the dying screams which haunted their dark­ness
They heard the approach of vicious evil
.And clutched each other
Curs­ing the skin that sep­a­rated their essence

On This day
When the Light Died
And Dark­ness prevailed

They pre­pared to Die

      Yea, another one about five months old. I exper­i­mented with a noti­fi­ca­tion list on this site but when I tested it with a dummy account it sent about twenty noti­fi­ca­tions. You know me I hate to bother peo­ple In fact if I post on Face­book I don’t include other peo­ple to read I fig­ure it’s there if anyone’s inter­ested. And you know they’re not…LOL Thanks my friend. I might start poet­ing exclu­sively here and include links on the other sites. I’m like you in that I’m not a com­ment whore though I have been putting my feed out on a few sites. I’ll let you know late…
