Beast

It walked in,
when the doors of hell opened.
A never quenching fire
leaves victims fallen like ashes.
And once it spreads the wings,
it's impossible to take the reins.

Deceiving death;
it lives like the immortals -
living with us,
living on us.
A creature that has never been tamed.

Always wonder what inspires such vivid, scary thoughts. Interesting ink, Kaveesha. :) gw

Thank you so much for your comment. Actually, the beast here is a metaphor to the virus (the situation was kinda bad in Sri Lanka when I wrote this.) Btw, sorry for the late reply.
