Descending, strangling out the light

pervasive, overtaking,

shadowy ignobility, of one mind.

Acolytes, servants who revel in this darkness

and the chaos it breeds...

Hordes of formless, swarming in chaos.

Penumbral, foreboding, darkening the skies.

Ecliptic, noxious malevolence,

a sickening hum churns the bowels.

Frenzied embodiment of my vile wrath.

winged terror, pervasive, meandering, omnipresent

through manifold eyes I see...

Alien mutations not of any discernible entomological origin

distorted by time, will, forced evolution into

minions of the blackest bidding.

With an uncanny precision they seek prey

to consume the remnants - a failed world's stead.

Feeding on the detritus, victims not yet dead

reaving last vestiges of expiring life

Amongst cinders deafening - the roar of their inevitability,

glinting under a fleeting gaze of a rotting sun as it steps from hiding

smoke obscured, for a brief moment.

Reddened as if stung by the acrid scent of death

Dipping back behind its veil in refusal of

the maelstrom taking place.

My plague rages

unfeeling, uncanny, a slaughtering tribe

mandibles bared at the scent of blood.

Thousands dying, rotting alive

disembodied limbs, carapaces,

the only remains, empty husks.

Vacant faces, frozen in awe,

meat for the beasts,

penultimate penance, sowing the seeds of ignominy.

This pestilence shall reign
