The Pit

A mound of bodies, not all in one piece, lay in the center of the pit
Blood seeps off the pile in rivers
Resting above is some dark figure
He claims their souls with haste
He does not linger
He leaves only carcasses where humans once lay
A sight that would put Hitler to shame

They were a humble people living in a normal town
When one day, someone saw a glimmer of light
Who would have guessed that such a small speck could lead to this
It was a truly gruesome sight to witness
It started with one, hands outstretched towards the light
Another began to feel its might
They began to fight, and so the first dies
A dirtied foot was placed on the victim’s face
He was closer now, but at the cost of one dear

The others were overcome with fear
For they too wanted the light
But they knew many would cry, and surely die
The insanity caught fire
As the young an the old were the first to go
The progress was beginning to show
Then the real chaos began,
Brother killed brother, and climbed atop one another
The pile grew as the slaughter ensued
Blood stained the ground as the sprinted higher
Sins beyond the cleansing of holy fire
They became beasts of the most gruesome sort
Their bodies became one with all the gore
The little light was beautiful, a truly worthy sight
But soon day turned to night
Shadow spread its wings over the dead
No one ever reached the top
Only death accompanied this sadistic crop
Now, there lay only a pile in this vulgar pit
A place for humanity to rot as it goes to shit
