Bloodbath, Annihilation, and Carnage.
Whole peoples I destroy.
I'm made to dance on their graves
By those who would wield me.
All around me, bodies fall.
None are left standing.
Fear, hatred, and ignorance
are the cause of my existence.
They seek to eradicate
That which they do not understand.
Mass graves, I create
Filled with bodies of all kinds.
Crimes against humanity, they say
But those who wield me have no humanity.
All of which I have wrought, I remember.
So much pain and suffering,
Only because they were not like you.
Be wary, someday others will see
That you are not like them,
And then, I shall come for you.
This is one part of a 4 part series of poems that I wrote to go along with my story, The Other Side of Death. The main characters are Saint Death, Homicide, Genocide, and Regicide.
They are companions of death but in time they start to regain their humanity and realize that there is more to life than just the end result. Genocide is the one who annihilates whole peoples.
