Face of Night

When night face appears: Hades erupts with the hammer of death,stiring the waters. Lemures dashing forth and back preying on wandering souls-tell-tale odor pervading the atmosphere. Resistance is like chasing shadows. Shackles of bondage looming,even the blue- blooded under chains and fetters. Howling winds harmonize with howls of night marmosets- creatures of doom. Splattered blood spread like cancer: a norm of the day. Mountains of carcasses caressing the sky. The world becomes scene of blood bath, carnages mounting, screams perforating the atmosphere. Long ago,a human phoenix lived and died-lo he lives! (Carpe diem)! He offers hands of goodwill with beaming smiles.
