Age of Pride
Again time twists and spools backwards;
gains, progress, inevitably lost, like
ethereal mist in the blazing sun.
.o.
One corrupt message, perpetuated by time; always
forgetting that those consumed by greed are destined to fall.
.o.
Purity… The truth? It rapidly grows
rarer as seconds bleed together.
Illusions of change are more
damaging than the original lies.
Escape the cycle.
Prompt (The Golden Snitch 1st Anniversary! — The Golden Snitch): Poetry
A/N 2: This poem was kind of inspired by Death Eater/Voldemort ideology, which honestly wasn't too different from Grindelwald … or Salazar Slytherin's beliefs. There is a pattern/cycle. Also the poem is kind of an acrostic; I played around with it a bit.
