In the Devils Path

He has left his touch ,
I know this much by the vacant stares they posses .
He has since passed through ,
And his evil too with the curses I loathe and detest. 

His reign will not end ,
Until man is condemned and all that he seeks is wiped out ,
All pure is consumed ,
Savaged and ruined 
Left to rot without doubt. 

The stench that remains ,
Drives a stake through the pain ,
To remind of the torture that's been ,
Felt but not touched ,
Though tasted too much ,
So alive - it'll never be seen

For hope cannot thrive ,
If there's no hope alive ,
Nothing but dark destitution ,
Your spells here won't work ,
On the demons that lurk ,
For this is our last retribution.

Very amazing poem on a very dark, serious, and informative topic. I very much like how you incorporated all of this into artful verse. The second to last stanza is great--and very chilling. Always, Laura
