LAKE BEASTS

---

In the shadows

Of the lake,

At the bottom;

Unawake -

Unaware

As are you -

As is fair

Entering.

Pure foolishness.

But how were

You to know.

Lingering.

A death sentence.

as ever

You still go.

In the trough

Of the waters,

Stirring and unfed;

Unafraid -

Undeclared

As are you -

As is fair

Simmering.

Beneath the surface.

Terror, terrors

Both accursed.

Shivering.

One has surfaced.

Yet the other,

Hides its purpose.

In the blanket

Of the night

an ancient dread;

Unbarred -

Unsnared

Unlike you -

Who has dared

To enter -

Undisclosed

To wander -

Their abode

Unlike you, Encroacher

This has always

Been their home.

In the trap

Of the habitants

Ignorantly led;

The tightening noose -

To which you

have been fed

No deeper meaning

Nor malice In their actions

Only you, their prey

And their starving faction

To sate their creed

They’ll do any deed

If it means

They might feed

Despite how it may lead

Respite’s their only need

This is the world order

How its always been

The weak are eaten

So the strong may live

You want

to live.

As

do they.

As

is fair.
