Here's a long twisted thought for you kiddies....

Death and the Ghoul

She walks alone at this dim somber hour,
Through foggy streets with looming lamp lit towers.
The suns light slowly sinks out of sight,
the last little pink fingers of grasping twilight.
The cobblestones glimmer in the nights misty dew,
as the strawberry moon waxes anew.

Then the street gives way to soil and moss,
With tombstones arising from amongst blackened dross.
The ground under her feet seems to crumble and crack,
And a frost cold shiver slowly crawls up her back.
This chill surrounds her with a plasma blue glow,
giving way for a ghastly ghoulish figure to show.

"why have you come here on this very night?"
It darkly proclaimed with a touch of delight.
"I have come here, my friend, in fact to portend,
that your ghoulish ways are soon at an end!"

"That's quite impossible, i'm immortal, pure evil!
Ive made a bloody sacred pact with the devil.
Ive loved nothing more than shiny gold coin,
owning land, owning people, and desires of the loins.
Ive razed, raped, killed, and cannibalized flesh,
Ive diseased a whole nation and silenced a single breath.
Ive left a wake of hate in festering saturation,
all simply for my own gratification,"
He salivated rolling his dim eyes in pleasure,
"and i do all these depraved acts at my leisure,
You cannot stop me, your so small and soft,
Leave me now to sink back into my dross!"

"The truth is, my friend, your not frightening at all,
trying to become immortal you scratch, scrape, and crawl.
You burn sacred writings with unheeded malice,
You segregate, spreading hate and imbalance.
Pray tell me, for what, For whom, and for why?
Are you so very afraid one day you will die?

You see your already dead, just haunting the masses,
convincing them of a division of classes,
Then you gain power from their greed and fear,
Living in shadows as you scheme and you leer.
But i see through you and know of your true weakness,
Its a giggle, a smile, or a loving caress,
You see, my friend, i love you for all you are,
without true love you wont make it that far!
You live in the shadow so i will bring the light!"
and with that she grabbed the specter and hugged him in tight.
The ghoul let out a scream and thrashed in the air,
Twisting his grimace figure as her love stripped it bare.

Then her arms were left cradling a small shivering soul,
"Ive given you love and again made you whole,
For i am death herself, and your pains are now soothed,
no more fears, my sweet, for my heart you have moved,
you've live such a sad sorry waste of a life,
clinging to madness, disparity, and strife,

But now we shall cross the great river Styx,
Truly immortal now your soul has been fixed.
If only all of humanity could do this same thing,
then the earth and the heavens in harmony would sing!"
She carried this soul to the great ferry of bone,
to return to the infinite shores of her home...


G night all!
