Hate and Envy

Rising up from the ashes, a demon cloaked

In every heart, terror invoked

Look into his eyes, stop dead in your tracks

Pray to the heavens, hope God watches your back

Fiery eyes, burning blaze

Mind as twisted as a maze

Dark crown, Obsidian adorned

Mind of evil re spawned

Thunder rumbles in his wake

Souls of the dammed he will take

Hope you never cross his path

Or you shall drown in a blood bath

A beast in his belly, vicious and cruel

A sorrow plea for his opponents in a duel

His core black as night

Full of hate, fury and spite

With his every step the ground shakes

All the rules of the world he makes

Father of evil, mother of lies

Emperor of terror, one whom Gods despise

But his power, known across the land

Made mankind want his reign in hand

In secret, the people conspired

Of this chaos all were tried

The people pleaded. Gods took no heed

They would not move till the crown decreed

Then happened, unthinkable task

The princess’s soul in forever moonlight bask  

The throne of prestige, filled with rage

To hunt him down went on a rampage

They met, they fought

With no heed for lives lost

The battle carried on for ages unknown

No sooner had calamity sown

When a hero emerged, a spear of flame

Piercing the heinous heart, evil tame

The people rejoiced, shadows gone

Sculpture constructed, jewels adorn

A few were wary, the wise ones

For when the next age of darkness comes

The hero was memorialized, he was praised

To his name toasts were raised

The king of fear was finally dead

The hero is stronger than the Gods they said

The Gods began to resent, full of envy

Plotting a conspiracy, elite were privy

Deceiving smiles, called him to dine

Unbeknownst to him, poisoned his wine

Saved by a kindly healers touch

Fury clouded his mind a bit too much

He called ancient power lost

Destroyed the heavens, with a great cost

Chaos reigned, evil rampant

Pure heart, once abundant now scant

Oh! The cost of jealousy

Mortal realm now a catastrophe
