A Cage Unbarred

- A Cage Unbarred -

All along the road...
The crows gather in black clouds.
Vultures too, wherever they can!
The crosses stand tall,
Whilst those upon them wail...
Piles of skulls below their feet.
Blood upon the bones, pooled!
Like a bloated toad...
One who hurt me, in the crowds,
Of the dying in that hellish land!
That one tries to call,
Only for their voice to so fail...
As I smile, when our eyes meet.
By deceivers I cannot be fooled!
I say unto that soul...
Can you guess, my truest name?
They get it wrong, once again,
Begging for mercy, to console.
I drive the nails in deeper still,
Causing more of their blood...
To upon the skulls below, spill.
They burst into flames and soot!
Leaving the cross charred,
From the burning soul, marred.
Nothing left for the death birds,
Only sad and desperate words!
And a cage unbarred.
