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.
