Evil Speaks In Dark Voices To Gift Fear
Evil Speaks In Dark Voices To Gift Fear
I heard a cry that bellowed, run away
"For here your life will be badly broken".
Longing for greater adventure that day
I thought an unknown road best be taken.
Yet once there that voice cried loud out again.
" You must not tarry, this land is cursed".
Thinking the worst if I dare to remain,
I raced back into that hell in reverse!
Yet again, that same loud darker voice cried,
" Leave now or else here you will surely die".
I realized now that voice always lied,
returned I home, to yet again retry.
Evil speaks in dark voices to gift fear.
Always best to question such and steer clear.
