They Feed On The Darkness Poem by Brian Kilpatrick

They feed on the darkness
Like ravenous wolves
Assured of their perfect vision
Everyone and anyone is their prey
Agreement is not enough
Surrender is only the beginning
Of your pain
Satiated we share in the darkness
With flickering lights
Inconsistence flows in our veins
Incessantly uncommitted
Afraid of any pain
We are judged by everyone
And found lacking
And just like every other great culture
One day people will ask
I wonder what ever happened to them
