The Midnight Rider

[The Fallen Messiah]

The sins of the world are gathered
They are harvested like shadowy grain fields
Their seeds ripe and ready to bloom
The reapers of sin are at work
Feeding their grain to their beast
The Nightmare
With each bite
Her infernal power grows
Augmented over and over with each compounded sin
Her fiery mane flaring brighter against her ebon hide
The Horseman arrives
Raven wings folded, clad in the armor of midnight
Forged by the hammerings of contempt and the seering heat of hypocrisy
He mounts his steed
And rides into the world
Spreading his wings and casting a shadow of terror over all

your poems are very talented written. Not sure what to think though. So I guess i will just say good work

Not to sound egotistical or anything, but if I were alive in ancient Rome, I'd have been a legendary orator. The Vision of Modern Society, by Almus Nigrum... has a nice ring to it......

Your writings are very good, gripping and provoking, but I am curious, and I don't want to offend, but are you an atheist?
I don't mean to pry, but I'm just trying to gain a better understanding of your work.

[The Fallen Messiah]

No. I am an agnostic. Atheists don't believe there's a God. Agnostics aren't really sure if there is one or not.

The terror over all sounds like it is terror not just of his own but something more.
