It S Not a He, Neither a She But It
In wilderness it lives
a creature
it's not a he, neither a she but "it "
with eyes as black and wild as storm
it's coming is as if the whole area has been drowned
clouds of darkness surrounds it
deadly creatures protect it
everything dies with its presence
there's not any sign of life where it lives
not a herb, not a tree,
neither water but only desertness
it s not a he, neither a she but a " it "
king of north, king of south
the most dangerous enemies combined their armies
but no success, neither a boy was left
no finger, no leg,
for his life, the king of south begged
but forgiving isn't in its habit
even the king was cruelly killed
it isn't a he, nor a she, but a " it "
once it sees you, there is no escape
you are its pleasure then
it will torture you till the breathe last
it will destroy your cast
even death will not come as fast
you' ll beg and it will only laugh
until it eats you and finish its task
for it isn't a he, neither a she, but it
it existence symbolises death of happiness
fire burns all over it
with soul as dark that even satan is afraid
And eyes so wild that you'll die
head and face similar to that of deer and horse
eyes without eye balls
instead of fingers, there are snakes
mouth full of blood and mud
a face without a nose
with body of a human, height that of a gorilla
its name is forbidden to take
Amongst ghosts he is known as the dark lord
human call it " it "
if you take its name, it shall sense it
and will get to you
if somebody asks you for it, never do the mistake
of taking its name
just tell
its not a he, neither a she but it
there are rumors that it belong to the tribe of Gog and Mogs
as its eat everything that comes into its path
human, trees, walls, herbs, everything
For the contest " it "
