Subtle variegated colors and

Cried the teary eyed lad, of barely ten and two,
His visage flushed in blood, as he sought refuge,
To save his flesh from his ancestors turned ghoul.

Droves and groves of darkness driven in rickshaws of dissipation
Shake to their foundation heaps and drips of innocence
