The rise of the kingmaker       (revised)

"A stark reality struck me some years ago [t'was the drugs  
made me slow] and it was that we as human beings, whether we like it or not are part of one huge pyramid scheme. at the bottom you've children being born only to starve to death, and it all works its way up from there through every hell imaginable." -me  
 
 
 
 
who'd have guessed the sheer speed of it all. then again, how fast do demon horses gallop when the barbed spurs of slow death  
are jamming into their sides.  
 
 
The KIngmaker  
 
 
Those at the top despised us  
they lied, spied, and cried terrorist  
and he, the darkest of the dark  
sent the white horse  
and all along its trail  
the streets  
were filled with rotting corpses  
with blisters around their mouths    
bursting with puss and bile    
 
then came the red horse  
for the ones who didn't succumb to disease    
they were forced into uniform  
and sent to fight their brothers  
rape their sisters  
and slice their mothers from arse to neck  
 
and the people, they followed blindly  
because the black horse had been too  
and food was a commodity  
payable only in some relatives blood  
 
then he, the darkest of the dark  
rubbed his hands together  
and sent the pale rider  
a pro at Chinese whispers and deceit  
 
in the end, there was nothing but rubble  
of the seven billion people a month beforehand  
there was thirty million left  
everyone of them were horribly broken  
 
and they worshiped the darkest of the dark  
like their lives depended on it
