The Hunt

Shadows orphic and dark, verily bound;
Have feeling half in and half out of life.
Ghostly whispers; I hark as they resound. 
Eerie epitaph of a dim twilife:

Noble savage surely slain by these beasts.
The demon within is all that remains.
Disaccord greater than famine and feast. 
Society's hand; now holding the reins.

Precious morality being suppressed;
as if it's something truly criminal.
You fail to see when you're being addressed;
a peril cruelly political.

From within shadows I seek to confront.
Society's nature; the beast I Hunt....
