Greed

By DarkestOnyx

a dark thing crawls from
within a blood filled hole
seen by some
known by all

it slithers to a busy place
cruching, crumbling with all haste
screams echo, adding to the mood
as all the people become its food

shreiks of souls fill the air
of people caught within its snare
lives are taken at the bloody maw
of a creature not of natures law

its a creature we've seen before
and now its knocking at our door
humanity grown, from a seed
only to be crushed by its conquorer, Greed.
