I wrote this mostly out of frustration and anger and I'm going to put a warning here... not because I think this poem "needs" it but because I don't want it to be misconstrued by readers.
I do not have a wish for human annihilation.
Just thought I should make that part clear XD.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alight! Bright flickering light!
Spark the flame of righteous blight!
Catch upon thin human hair—melt and ruin.
Curl the limb,
Crisp the skin.
Wretched wails like symphonic turrets,
Pelt through hearts like bullets.
But ears turn away in the bliss of sacrifice
These delight in the promises of unfulfilled verses and words.
Let Hell come from above,
To swallow those pests below.
Fury, like none ever saw or felt,
With flaming swords unquenched,
Comes to cull the herd.
And with dear unimaginable joy
Burns them all.

Again, these are freeform poems so there's no rhyme scheme or metre. I personally enjoy poems with regular rhyme but it turns out it is actually hard to keep rhyming words while thinking of the right ones to convey your meaning.

PoetryI lack extravagance when writing descriptions, so this will simply be my poetry collection. I'm no poet, and my writing could most certainly improve with time, patience and practice--but for the moment I am impatient and so will publish what I have...
