Bringer Of Death Poem by Clive Culverhouse

From a comet's tail, like pepper on a meal
sprinkling down on the land
upon the earth, the contagious death
the cleansing of God's hand

Genocide made, from a periodic plague
swelling numbers of the dead
when life departs, with heavy hearts
of the times that lay ahead

From rich or poor, it seeks for more
to feed upon its evil
with terrible pain, of who were slain
by the horrific cosmic devil

Tearing the will, a numbness feel
no one is safe to hide
a celestial throw, of prevailing woe
on the comet's trailing ride

Like a skyward beast, soaring from the east
a mighty dragon span
its subtle wings, and deadly fangs
and fire to decimate man

The invading spell, straight out of Hell
that curses all who live
their bodies writhe, to stay alive
and the suffering they give

Bringer of death, taker of breath
destroyer of life around
deliverer of ill, killer of will
burrier in the ground

With bodies spent, from furnace sent
from static streak on high
the festering cull, deflesh the skull
as the comet passes by
