Night and Fog

Night and fog descend
About those peaceful eyes
Mind clouded, visage hidden
In merciless blindness
Be gone that feigned piety
And make that hating smoke
It billows towards the sky
And proclaims humanity
Corrupted air in which
He draws frustrated breaths
Made tasteless by empowerment
In ghoulish dreams
And wicked worlds
Where night and fog descend
