Fate's Footfalls

Fate's Footfalls 'Crimson Tides of the Underverse' Ladders we climb, greasing the grime, in mountains of malignant moral Committing our crime, with rhythm and rhyme, impending the immoral Foreshadowing fates, we open the gates, arming the quantizing quarrel Creation creates, sad sorrow awaits, within the ambient Adonic auroral Beyond the tides, where love divides, the moonlit metaphorical shores Decision decides, our confusion confides, the embryonal egg explores The minstrels play, behind the floral bouquet, the pandemonium pours Trampled by truth, egotistical youth, the wordsmith weathers the wars Silent screams, within decompositional dreams, a dramaturgical destiny Truth or dare, we all shall bear, the crippling crosses of effusive entropy Eyes that bleed, now take heed, for who is your friend or emulous enemy Fissiparous fate, a harbinger of hate, providing a pandemic penal penalty.

Hey WW, had to read this one several times to allow the cadence to set the rhythm and rhyme scheme to life. Some very interesting language woven into the metaphor. Thanks for participating in the contest.
