A Tyrant

finds ease in cutting corners difficulty in shedding light in the dark such a mortal’s combat is just he thinks no evils lurk in capacity from heights beyond notice because capacity is the just he persuades the sky screeches the ground bellows cries flat line and streams of pain mark the surface for the wondering the mortal calls it justice and for the unjust who finds ease on a mere strip who sheds light in the midst of havoc is a such a mortal’s combat not just? one would think can evil find shelter in this capacity or call home stolen property simply because is unpersuasive and when the sky whispers again and the ground whimpers laughter will fill the air tears of joy will mark a blemished surface for the wondering such mortal calls this hope

this was a most intriguing piece that I kept returning to, and even though it slightly lacked the imagery I was looking for, I still felt it was worthy of a placement..."the sky screeches/the ground bellows" those are very strong, effective lines - congrats on your win in my contest! :)

Thanks so much Charlotte!! Since I'm new here, would you be so kind as to explain how contests work and how does someone win if not in first or is placement in what i'm guessing top 10 considered a win. Maybe I just answered my own question or maybe not. Please advise.
