The Madcap

Darkness [View all]

Entrenched in a heart
Not human
Not quite animal
Dripping with evil
A living scream
Not of pain
But of anger
At all forms of insults
Perceived
Real
Deserved
The Darkness releases
Torrents of death
Upon the people
Ruled by steel
By fear
And by crime
Crimes against Humanity
Dwell in the fantasies
Of the black-hearted
No light in his soul
Atrophied and withered
Beyond redemption
Living in total blackness
Of the Nothing.
