Unspeakable Horrors

The beast roams and scavenges
Searching for a carcass to feed upon
Sadly, he is well fed on souls that have no care
Filling his pit of a gut
Licking our wishes from his chops
His stomach rumbles with unsettled dreams
His breath a stench of hopeless rot
“What is this unspeakable horror?”
‘Tis what is whispered in the dark
His name by evil as the thoughts and deeds
	Committed
Attracted by greed, vanity, and lies
Pray that he has not caught your sent
