Into A Den Of Vipers... …And with smiles that belied The truth of their desire Ragged claws hidden Beneath the charms and approval Eyes that flashed From tranquil blue to a dark Mass of emptiness They all stood and stared, Calculated reach To touch, To hold, to feel, To steal and devour the last Remnants of flesh from the frame. Picking over the slowly decaying bones Of an aged Prince, all of you to revel in the dust.
