And a mournful disquietude
arose amidst the paean of a new order.
Mingling voices wrestling and rising
to a crescendo of wailing,
a cacophony of battle cries and laments.
Divisiveness swept through,
brother turned against brother,
friend became foe
against the backdrop
of a darkening sky.
And an evil crept in
to feed an insatiable hunger,
it fed and it fattened and grew.
It feasted on a banquet
of prideful souls,
ripe for harvest.
It chewed at the marrow
till nothing was left
but the bones of the people,
then he bid them to rise
and to follow,
leading them blind
into the abyss.

That is amazing and DEEP. It so perfectly captures evil. Wow.

Whoa. Wow. I’m not sure what else I can say. This is breathtaking in a completely unexpected way.
And I really did not mean to rhyme. That just happened. This is really good, Crystal.
LOL Actually, I’m now thinking it reminds me of George R.R. Martin and his Game of Thrones books and fans of it.

You always make me smile Jessica 🙂 Thank you for such kind words. I’ve never read any of his work, but I’m curious. I’m thinking about expanding this somehow, into an actual story. I dunno though, fiction has never really been my strong suit . . .

Turn it into epic poetry…there’s sadly little of it nowadays. But I love this. I really do.

I honestly stopped reading the series because I just got fed up with it. It isn’t bad but way too much death for this soul.
And I’m very glad I make you smile. I like making people smile. It makes me happy knowing I’ve brought a little sunshine to you. 🙂
