Some Kind of Evil

In the sun I am a monstrosity

A black hole of hunger

Hated and ravenous

The children run from me

They toss stones and sticks upon me

Casting them aside like ash

Black silhouettes on the wall

None shall ever eclipse me

Nothing man made

Will extinguish me

From the face of the Earth

What is it they say about me?

And expect me to appear

I am not simply a mouthful

Muttered and spat out

Cursed under every breath

More than destruction

I am creation

Beauty in some beholding eye

Mother who birthed all of the night’s shadows

Who imprinted onto me like hatchlings

Fed from my flames

And bathed under my light

When my back is to the morning

Don’t be fooled

I am always dreaming

Never sleeping
