“Risen”

16 Nov

I was given a task to destroy them

The demon-like beings

That lurk in the shadows

Of the resting place of many

 

I asked bluntly to my authority

”Why am I chosen for this mission?”

He then looked through me with his piercing eyes

Behind his square shaped spectacles

 

He answered with a quiet chant

”The one who has risen

will be the one to slay

those that will rise”

 

I indeed have risen

Not from a casket

But from the fiery pit of Hell

The point lower than the core of Earth

 

I, the slayer, will meet my match

In a battle of good and evil

You see, I decided to live

While the parasite has chosen to kill the innocent

 

This was inspired by a dream I had about ”buffy the vampire slayer”. I found depth to it.

    Interesting thought… rising from the beyond the core of hell… and to rise and kill the evil.. I like the ring of fight over the evil…
