We are the hate that hate created

Eviscerated by a novel disease

The chosen few amass in darkness

Shrouded for moments from the impending plague

Discordant howls pierce the void

as they feast on the remains of their young

With no messiah to light the way to salvation

An alien frost snuffs out the landscape

Survival depends on the death of the other

An iron will prevails among the ruthless ones

Persistence secured by the flash of the blade

Existence is brutish and short once again

Reduced to a feral barbaric state

The nadir has been reached at last

With the remnants of enlightenment destroyed

History will be preserved but dishonored

Utter disdain for slovenly ideals

Useless screeds are cast into the pit

The fires burn on in the face of extinction

Charred human remains feeding the wretched flames

The wrath of nature reveals its rightful course

As it corrects the untenable visions of man

Lifeless eyes lost in bereavement

Sacred tongues reduced to chants of rage

Memories dim as the violence ascends

Heartless, the victors of a terminal war
