Bad Magic

Mankind has taken hold

of the dark end of the wand

for now, so when it

waves this baton of power

it curses itself anew

Eases into greed

The murderer of the soul

Acquiesces to the

Hating heart and the

blood stained fist

But wait and be patient h

For light is coming

And the morning waits

Watching like a mother

Her sleeping child.
