I am pestilence!!

Guardian of this earth.

I am the enforcer!

You will not see me.

I ride my steed upon the wind,

I lurk in putrid pools

Of your creation.

I sleep in river beds,

Alongside the chemicals

Discarded by you.

I will send my cousins,

Virus and plague

Among you.

I will let loose

My beloved daughter

Pandemic,

To visit hell upon you.

You, who have desecrated my treasured soil.

My brothers, War, Famine and Death

Ride with me.

We shall scourge the earth

Of your presence.

I am near, so near,

Look over your shoulder,

Beware!!

You may not see me now,

But I am here,

Silent....Waiting...
