Men Do Not Need Us

We are our own enemy!

Through the valley of the shadows,

I see many things have changed.

The shadows are pale so badly,

Even potent Death seeming strange.

 

‘O Dreadful lord, what befell you?

You've been lurking here for long,

Where's your might, that fills the night,

And the hearts of men right along.

 

Why all the shadows are weakened,

Why aren't they conquering men?

I know men have not become saints

And will never abandon sin.’

 

His majesty stood tall and looked,

At me down his black awful throne,

His eyes enkindled of deep red,

All the shadows left us alone.

 

‘O mortal, men do not need us,

They need no shadows or daemons,

We’re better here far and alone,

For men hold the worst of evils.

I love your words and your rhyming skills! Always a pleasure to read your work even just for those 2 characteristics that they all seem to acquire in their writing :)

WOW! again great dark imagery within your sub lingual taste for the rotting parts of the nonliving. I like your black anvil craft, forming the soul to a blade to pierce the center of words...great piece

Touche Adam yet people are always blaming God for bad things that happened in their lives. God has punished me. No we are all responsible for own actions. I AM MY OWN WORST ENEMY. Good writing.
