Fear is My Name

The wind blows death across my feet


the howling of the trees

A scent just like humidity

reaching one hundred six degrees



Barren edge cuts as a knife

unfolds the forest down below

Awaiting sorrows solitude

a death that no one else can know



Nostrils flared with sunken eyes

sleep eludes me now for days

Ground bludgeoned from the hell before

I walk the burning haze



The silence here quite deafening

as the sweat pours down my skin

I fear no evil in these woods

but fear the evil kept deep within



Betraying all humanity

my heart and soul have turned to dust

Tears have long since died away

leaving sunken trails of rust



Nefarious my thoughts and deeds

a blunt deception of all mankind

With barbed tongue I spoke the words

and left them deaf and blind



Even the wicked abhor my name

all others just call me fear

Alone I’ve ruled for centuries

and once again I’ve reappeared



To walk this final battleground

where only the silence rules the day

In ruins combatants strewn these fields

no graves for them to lay



This war of hatred their demise

they’ve followed blindly just as sheep

Fighting me with all their might

only to watch the masses reaped



Millennia of waging wars

without a noble cause had they to win

Payment rendered in full today

suffering now for all their sins



Blow the stench of malevolence

to every nation far and wide

From me you’ll find no way to win

and no where you can hide
I would want to live longer...
