As Hollows Whisper

Dusk\'s bog infiltrates as surely as it descends,

Known not of what\'s taking place

And naught of where it\'s been.

Invaded the harvest of merit\'s disease -

Permeating fear in the minds of men.

 

Seeking whilst lost, surely a method seldom used.

It appears a vibrant facade, convoluted - yet not refused.

To wander in search of answers,

Inquiring the paths from which one must choose.

 

Taken root, corruption sullies -

It demands to promptly insist;

That lies of which we have amused

Ensure secured that evil persists.


Spoken late are words that save,

In little haste to greatly respire.

Dithering through masquerades -

As hollows whisper, in the mire.
