The bones of the fallen —
the very spirits that haunt this land —
are my kindling. Their inky ectoplasms,
my potion. With a bubbling boil,
this alchemy of justice I have created —
bringing death to the ones that terrorize
the meek — my will be done.

I figure an enthusiastic Austin expression always gets the point across – less the bad teeth. 😉

“Alchemy of justice ” This unique combination of words , made me realize that justice is man made , hence fallible. “Those who terrorize the meek ” again , it is perhaps only in Bible that meek inherited the earth. ” My will be done” that was powerful. I salute.

l like the way you take a bit of solid romantic poetry, add the witches from Macbeth and finish with a slap in the eye from the Lord’s Prayer. Lovely dark soup.

Hello darling,
Long time since our paths crossed!
A little something, you may moderate;
Brittle bones, those humans
whom lost their spirit..
All while drifting throughout heaven,
their bodies buried
in the dead earth sand..
As i savour
their tasteless ectoplasms
mixing in my rum an a little laughter..
As i savour every moment
all while they terrorize
honest souls, quietly walking
about my land…
That is my wish!
kisses chris jensen (darkprince)
