Tales of satire

Ruthless aggression empowers

the soul. Overwhelming

sensibility, rationale and control.

Illusions of happiness,

crushed hopes and lost dreams.

Make way for destruction,

dementia and screams.

The hand that once held all

the cards has now risen; commanding his followers

to heed warning and give in.

Time has come for those

who balk in the face of destiny;

to henceforth in wonder

for all the world is to see.

Lessons learned have quickly

become harsh realities.

Things once deemed safe

now seethe of impurities.

Things better left unsaid

are rearing their ugly heads.

Mysterious wonders

of the dark and unknown;

they are settling in now,

making this home

Welcome – his children – come sit

by the fire; while our master

consumes us with tales of satire.
