This is another of my Horsemen of the Apocalypse poems that you may have read already. |
Carnage and the Vanquisher Two brothers Riding side by side One enclosed in obsidian armor Silent and monolithic Spear clutched in his right Bow in his left Blood drips from his every pore Running down his armor as crimson lightning bolts The other clad in burnished brass Helmetless he rides His face a mask of charisma His features patrician Proud and brazen He clutches a fiery sword in one hand A sealed scroll in the other Together the brothers ride One inseparable from the other For where there is one, The other is ne’er far behind The Vanquisher molds the people to his will Carnage plucks peace from their very souls The Vanquisher is ever victorious Gobbling up lands as he would a feast Carnage slays for the sake of it Regardless of faction and fortitude To shed blood is his only desire They pit man against man wherever they go Brother is set against brother Father, against son They leave nothing in their wake Save for the cries of the vanquished And the howls of the dead The Brothers Carnage and the Vanquisher |
