The Path Became Bloody, the Door Forever Was Shut, Part One

The Path Became Bloody, The Door Forever Was Shut, Part One (Part One) I saw the beast, drew my trusty sword The crowd was there, a ghastly little horde Devoid of dawn and reeking of decay allowing indifference to hold greatest sway. With a mighty blow, the beast was then cut The path became bloody, the door forever was shut. I saw the beast, its eyes throwing flames The crowd was there, playing childish games Beast roared and threw a vicious claw Crowd applauded it, they one and all. With a mighty blow, the beast was then cut The path became bloody, the door forever was shut. I saw beast, its fangs showed through its smile The crowd was there, with lust and usual guile Crying with hearts, black and frozen as ice Shouting kill the man, saying it thrice. With a mighty blow, the beast was then cut The path became bloody, the door forever was shut. I saw the beast, its flaming tail hit my head The crowd was there, laughed the more I bled Taken aback, my courage ate the mighty blow Crowd screamed out, more blood for the show. With a mighty blow, the beast was then cut The path became bloody, the door forever was shut. I saw the beast, slashing out in agonizing pain The crowd was there, shouting man can not win again With final blow, my sword pierced its black heart The crowd rushed forth seeking to rip me apart. With a mighty blow, new beast was then cut The path became bloody, the door forever was shut. R.J. Lindley, March 3rd, 1976 Dark Rhyme(The Beast and its faithful allies)-Part One
