Nightmares
Bleak landscape
Black
Grey shadows
Chilling howl
Fear
Look back
Scan forward
Taste of copper
Tinged air
Fate
Fabricator of ill
Greedy fingers pluck
Raping fertile land
Plundering virgin waters
Massacring exotics
A game
A sickening fact
Smiles of glee
Sneers
Taunts
Rattle from lips
Parched dry
From lack of harmony
Lack of morality
Lack of decency
Lack of humanity
High above
Soaring on Currents
An Unkindness
Blackening the sky
Shredding daylight
Emergence of twilight
Raucous kraa’s
Almost like laughter
Dancing along the edge of hearing
Whispering in ears
Promises given
Vows broken
Death is coming
Flying on ebon wings.
