I, The Destroyer

I the destroyer
The corrupter of dreams
Poisoner of innocent minds
Stealing away the future
Will their souls survive?

I the destroyer
The purveyor of grief
The bringer of tears
Death and destruction reign
Why must they cry?

I the destroyer
The taker of souls
Consumer of the light
Total possession, total control
Body, mind, and soul

I the destroyer
The slayer of hope
The taker of all things good
Their lives forever tainted
From the sins of the Father

"Friends are quiet angels who lift us to our
feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly." ~unknown

Ah my friend, about the only thing in life I can say with any certainty is that I will indeed continue to write. Thank you, and take care!

You write on a topic which is close to my heart. Great images you set here.

Sometimes...sometimes the only way to go forward is to destroy all that holds us back...painful as that can be...

I remember this one from 9, Eagle One.  I think the last line is excellent - really punches the poem home.  Good work.
