Tragedy In Black

The sin that destroyed trust and faith;
Its root was in lust, in obsession
Which was deadly, a haunting wraith
Which brought greed, extreme passion.

When greed was doomed, wrath came out
Love was killed, jealousy took over
Faith and trust gave way to doubt
Battles developed from endeavour.

These deadly deeds blocked out light
A sin was there in every breath
The world was blackened with ghastly fights
Black, was the tragedy of deaths.

And these sins, dark as ever
Inculcated in the mind of man
Darkened the world forever
Under the vicious reign of Satan...
