Unabating Hunger

Hunger

By Ryan WelchPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Bury me in the back of the forest

The stolen ground now a wasteland

A towering Cairn to the old Gods

A final resort for forgiveness

Our unabating Hunger and greed

Sated only by sanctioned desecration

Standing at the edge of darkness

They knew this would never end well

Let me hold your salt and sorrow

Serpent's coil unwinds the blood stone

Calloused hand of dread grips

And tears deep the yearning and marrow

Listen the seven bells toll

Across the valleys a call to arms

Clutching to crystalized lies

Sorrows untold

All we can do about everything wrong

Sail forth into the storm

Too late to find our way out

And die for a promised land

Our children have fallen on blades

Our children are burning at stakes

Our children are towers of ashes
