The black knights ride their steeds, And the hooves kick up the dirt. The village is lit afire and the screams, Ring throughout the night. Shouting and yelling stings the air, And fear burns our nostrils. The world around us is anarchy, Our flesh burned in sync. We have fallen far from grace, And live
A rose, flush loose petals, Reaching towards the light. A gentle breeze dances Across her leafy blight. Fiber by fiber torn away, Dwindled by a standard. One so carefully instilled, With every whispered word. No longer in touch, With what is natural, Blinded by hatred, And far from factual. Wilted by the cold, From life
