Darklings

 
indigo silence so deafening I retreat
down the black corridor
entering my twilight
sleeping a thousand years
awaking to the wisdom of pain
the great conduit and teacher
prophesying the unbecoming
 
sideways smiles lies the scorned
children of the file
Nephilim...darklings
persuading the dawn  
to shine on my face no more
 
elitist privy to the hidden artifacts
secret society of the Rephaite  
the fallen angels
who took mortal woman
to perpetuate their crime
to further the great rebellion
their offspring flaunt--  
their hatred of the creator
 
scarlet shame a halfling I may be
a mixed-race in immortal standing
dark and light confoundment
perpetuating the sins of my fathers
who with a black conscience
took the daughters of Eve
sewing the tares to choke out the wheat
 
insidious nature calls to me
genetically altered to heed---
 
the song of the damned
