Uncaring
and
unforgiving
in thy
conquest;
unsatiable
in
thy
hunger
to devour all
that
is beautiful.
Curse thee.
Do
not you
realize
the
fire of man
is
not fanned
by
thy winds?
Curse thee.
Thou
may fade
the
garden's petals;
but
seeds of thought
shall
ever be
reborn
from
thy wretched soil.
Curse thee.
Necromancer,
in
thy battle
for
eternal domination
thou
hast
leveled mountains
and
gouged
the
deepest sea;
but
as
the Phoenix,
ever
shall
rise man.
Curse thee.

I think this should go back up to the top!
I think it got lost in the shuffle!

Wow, this is great. I love the structure and the archaic language fits so well.

Mike, so sorry I didn't see your poem about time and try to better it, I just did it, then started looking around and there you were.
Forgive me?
