There is a stench; upon this rock of ours,
an odor of despair
Lucifer has spread his wings,
and now is fouling all the air
Standing upon the ledge of hate,
he shreds the decency of man
Vile thoughts and wicked deeds,
are the backbones of his plans
Among the mindless minions,
all now waiting at Hells gate
Are the mongers of our evil ways,
those men who love to hate
They’re all stale in their servitude,
as he plants his evil thoughts
Sending armies out to rule this world,
their leaders overwrought
Wreaking havoc on the gentle,
destroying all the meek
Tearing hopes and dreams from everyone,
millions every week
As we fight this war it seems,
we lose more all the time
Murder, rape, and mayhem,
have replaced all our petty crime
With time no longer on our side,
our species faces extinction
Our history has shown that when we fight,
we do it with distinction
As darkness falls across the days,
I know we’ve lost this war
I’m doomed to face his fiery wrath,
for good he does abhor

Your work is wonderful filled with dark imagery of what could possibly be if "Change" is not found soon. The artist known as bosiarbooger has left me speechless with admiration once again. Good luck in the contest though it is not needed. God Bless, Jo-Ann
