Blood Solstice
This time of year the Sun is a short traveler,
nights are long and the world is darker;
The North prepares for the Winter Solstice ;
The people of the village bring in trees
following tradition and what they believe,
The Fey Of The Wood all but forgotten;
This blatant disrespect for nature
the fairies sing blind with anger;
Fury will make them reap what they sow;
Natural ornaments or home made things
each one must make an offering,
for the price of poaching all the pines;
Candy on the limbs makes fairies weak,
filthy iron or silver is extremely toxic;
This offense demands swift judgment;
Serene forest raped and beaten alive
sacrilege must not be left to thrive,
Brutality demands their blood.
