Demon

In the Darkness I smile

knowing all the while

deep inside my inner child

lies lust and danger ever wild

 

A breath of air I do mark

for if not to fight I do bark

if not for purpose on a lark

I do act like the  shark

 

I chew and spit and cry out loud

adrenaline veins  stain my shroud

destroy the living I have vowed

the lives of kings are strong and proud

 

My magic bullet knows no bounds

I hunt bloodthirsty like the  hell hounds

and in the air  you hear my sound

as I hunt and take  my quarry down

 

Anger  surges inside of me

yet deathly still I can be

invisible as to not see

the moment of deaths pedigree

 

You may see me in your dreams

or in shadow as it may seem

black scales and midnight gleam

a ray of darkness or evil scream

 

Hope fades waning in the light

when evil wings do take flight

storm clouds rising bring the blight

screams of anguish in the night

 

Temptation brings a soul  to steal

great white hunts unknowing seal

darkness hides thus won't reveal

one of the seven, named Belial.

 

Death toll climbing as is willed

fallow soul left unfulfilled

guilt pollutes decay instilled

no goodness left when we have killed

 

Humanity I cry,  let thou be warned

when thou livest a life of scorn

a lie be a dagger like an acorn

where a tree from a seedling leaves are born.
