The Retaliation


The Retaliation

Proceeding subtlety into the night,

Avoiding the eyes of oblivion,

Souls as dark as obsidian,

Brutes that instigate my power,

Power that knocks emperors down,

 

Phenomenon depleted the blood’s purity,

Acrimony of heart, truelove is superficial,

Enigma proliferates in the origin of life,

Narcissistic engenders the world’s beliefs,

For the depravity of creation is enduring,

 

Amiable, acclaim and even advocate,

Brutes arrogant, still condescend on the vulnerable,

The sage enhances the chain of the anemic,

Philanthropy I exemplify the hostility approach,

Animosity and avarice agonized the accessible,

 

The weak acquiesce and heeded,

Sunlight blackened with warfare,

Warriors advanced onto the grounds,

Blood of the defeated deluged the terrain,

Collapsed brutes coated the landscape,

 

If you damage the weak, won’t they retaliate?
