A new age dawned within the night
18 October 2024

Wolves their claws did slowly sharpen
Hunters their long guns would snap in
What we never knew would happen
set in motion in a heartbeat

As the people failed several tests
the dark forces commenced arrests
with empty hearts and blazing chests
they spread their hate within the world

Of humans shaped a captive breed
they grappled with a dying creed
more hunger strikes more mouths to feed
a crown to tumble down and sway

The crowds the buildings set to blast
a sequence for the rage to last
and as the flames seared on steadfast
a new age dawned within the night
