Literature Text

In a long-forgotten grove

Where the fruits of folly grow free,

Flowing with the juices of lust

And self-indulgent vanity.



The trunks are crimson-stain'd

By bloodshed of wars gone past

That left the kingdoms desolate

At the hands of relentless wrath.



Twisted by ambition and greed

Their arrogant wills bore envy's seed

And when their plots finally flowered

They were consumed in those final hours



And as the nations fell to ruin,

The heavens too began to rot away;

Leaves descend onto the forsaken world,

Trapped in the birthplace of moral decay.
A poem I wrote inspired by many things...

Although I regret running out of ideas of how to use the SDS's for a few of them, I think I did quite well.

However...I won't submit it to any SDS groups myself. Feel free to do so on my behalf if you want.
