Blood world

All the sorrows of the world laid bare
Plains , empty fields and bloody air
You will find us in the corners dark
Sharpening knives of history stark

Ride on my black horse of pain
Let my brutal heart stain
For I have tasted human flesh
When I am done your blackened ash

Life should be taken you are a pawn
For you I leave only a false dawn
Gender , your religion your face
Let it all be laid to waste

For I have deemed I should be a lord
Why in this world should this be odd
Through all time a state of disgrace
Blood is the imprint we leave in haste

We are masters of repeating the past
From God's kingdom we will be cast

MOON, This piece bleeds dark and I am a big fan of dark. This dark entity around whom the piece centers seems as if he/she is content to be kept under wraps and not flagrantly obnoxious. The entity want to be a lord? Who is there to put a stop to the desire? Other entities will fight for the spot...will it really happen or will it not?
Very nicely done! take care...dan

Honest and direct thoughts dear Poet. It is sad we repeat the mistake of others.
