FadingA Poem by JusticeA dark pillar rises, piercing the dull red sky. The beginning of the sun as it sinks, dies. The red fades away to grey, grey to black. All in the darkness gather for an attack. The pillar stands out as absolute darkness. It moves, first with one long limb then the other. Full of divine power, Unstoppable, untamed. Bending all to its evil will. Unstoppable Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, Pride. Foreigners brought to this fresh new place Previously untouched, now lost to this power. From its choice. All of creation cries out for mercy But, the power given will not be undone. Imposed by another will Pushed to fading away Everything quakes will fear of its approach.
