Winged creature both
Clawed and craven;
Black eyes as sharp
As the wicked raven.
In hovering sky
Its form shows clear;
Foraging hunter
Seeks living fear.
Its dreams are bold
Of Mankind's doom;
Fill hearts with hate
For the ancient rune.
Battlefield earth
Leaves wounds untended;
Creature swoops in
Where love's pretended.

Battlefield earth
Leaves wounds untended;
Creature swoops in
Where love's pretended.
Picks clean my bones
Snapping the tendon;
Scratching my brain
Beyond the mendin'.
Angel words cloak
Its bite of death;
Deceived souls hail
Its every breath.
"Are you hurting, child?
"Does no one help?"
"My bite will save you
"If you do not yelp!"
Razorblade tooth rips
Soft human flesh;
Vampire betrayal
As death and life mesh.
"Hope is the enemy!
"Death is your friend!
"Bite unto others
"For life without end!"
Factory poison
Chokes nurturing air;
Winged creatures
Pick green forests bare.
In mirthless victory
Sainted blood stains;
Who hears love's voice
When truth's held in chains?
Winds of twisted times
Spin friendly word;
As foes speak kindly
Of cherished lies heard.
Into the night
I cry out for Thee!
Alas, no one is left
To set me free.

Eleanor: We're jungle creatures Henry, and the dark is all around us. See them? In the corners, you can see the eyes.
Henry II: And they can see ours.
We have met the enemy and he is us. Pogo has fangs too.
Thanks, Ralph. There's a reason the vampire analogy is so popular nowadays - and it's not a good one.
iconesis, I love The Lion In Winter! Thanks for that great quote.
Where love's pretended."
And we wonder why young girls love vampire stories now, look at the people they're told to admire and emulate. Only the living dead feast on the life force of others. Drinking the blood of others cannot give them life.
