A Darkness devours all it encounters
None are safe be them peasant or king.
Its foes are all its friends none.
Though many use it just the same
Just for their own gain.
None can control it though countless try
Only to be betrayed through deceit and lies.
It can topple nations, crown kings
Cause assassinations and bring gods to their knees.
It controls all at one time or another
Causing chaos and strife wherever it goes
It turns friendships into dust, relationships into nothing
Using love as a means to an end
Many try to resist the temptation it brings
But all succumb to the Darkness in time
The Darkness has existed since the dawn of time
Feeding off of envy and pride
The darkness can inflame many passions
Wealth and Power a few to say the least
Causing men to commit atrocities all for a small taste
They hope for more to sate their palate
Never able to receive enough
Though man has lived with the Darkness all this time
They still have yet to learn just what it does.
