Author's note: I was inspired by Sylvia Plath's Metaphors poem/riddle. I wanted to write a poem for something like this since drawing a picture would've taken years (I don't have such a luxury and am pressed for time).


The seven of us at first,

Hellish creatures we faced on,

Even darkness we feared not,

Kindness and compassion fled,

In our hearts burned a fury,

Never knew what was in store,

Slaughtering them was no chore,

Lay, bloodied bodies, lay down,

A righteous thought, a damned guilt,

You never knew what we'd do,

Ill fortuned ones to hold them,

Never withhold them from us,

Gore not glory you will face.
