Poem Commentary

Part three of my Crawler series, an experiment in expressing the truest evil and darkness of the aforementioned antagonist of Fable 3. Enjoy the misery of it's vile influence:D

Crawler

Shadow and darkness
The souls of the lost
This is what we are
And what all shall be

There is nothing for us
Above or down below
Only hollowed existence
A shade on earth

We will consume all
Claw away at the light
Leave you blinded
Forever tormented

This is the truest beauty
Can't you see it now?
We will crawl into you
Extinguish your life

When all is in darkness
When our fingers
Have molested the sun
You will see it all

In your blindness
With us inside you
You will be our host
As our plague prepares

You know when we come
Our arrival is death
Beating his wings
Across your lands

Carry us now, warrior
The parasite within
The angel of blood
Our beauty is a gift

We will wait for it
For the proper time
To maim this kingdom
The Crawler will come

Disease, plague to torment the living, dark and poetic. Excellent piece.

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
