Dream a Dream No More
As I lay sleeping one night, a vision began to consume my mind. I could see the universe, our galaxy. I could see the very earth as it became clearer I found myself speeding toward it standing in the midst of what could only be Eden. Clouds rolled by, birds sang and everywhere around me hundreds, no thousands.Even more, millions of cradles swaying back and forth gently in the breeze. And as I walked through the rows upon rows, the soft cry of an infant began to fill my ears. First one, then two;then ten then fifty, then one hundred and so on.Crying out wah wah until it was louder than a thunder clap. Filling my ears sending pain through my body, causing my ears to bleed;and me to fall to my knees in pain. Just as the pain became overwhelming and I began to lose consciousness, I heard the cries change from wah, wah, wah, to why, why, why. With my last grasp at consciousness, the world was blasted by a horrific ball of fire, and I saw the tiny cribs with delicate hands reaching up toward the sky. Suddenly reduced to ash, their cribs, their bodies, nothing more than mere shadows, burnt into the ground. Then all was black. I cannot tell how much time has passed, until I rose to my feet and the sight that I saw is now forever burned, not only into my memory, but into my immortal soul. Where rows of cribs had stood, now stood rows of tiny mounds adorned with grave markers shaped as crosses. And the very earth itself had been torn asunder with festering gaping wounds, as far as the eye can see. As the smell of burning flesh filled the air and stinging gray ash fell from the sky, as I looked upward, past the moon to where the stars would have been. Now nothing more than an inky black abyss with a blood red sun.
Seeds of Sorrow
From my seed of sorrow sewn
The winds of rage now have grown
That whips the flames of my hate
That heats the fire that burn hells gate
Now my madness is unleashed
To fill the veins of every savage beast
That roam and prowl in deepest dark,
that hunt the faint and fear of heart
