Corruption

Here in the verdant meadows
All on a summer’s day
The dreaded army of the dark
Met with the noble fey
They fought until the long sundown
And the lost blood of the dead
Soaked into the sacred ground
And turned the roses red

When the fight was over
And the legion of the flies
Had swarmed across the corpses
Stealing hope from sightless eyes
The scarecrow from the hedgerow
Ventured out across the plain
And stole gold rings and bracelets
From the bodies of the slain

Into his patchwork pockets
He placed the magic hoard
Ignoring the accusations
Of the black crows as they soared
Above his shameful head
chastising his evil deed
and the damning motivation
spurred by avarice and greed

As day turned into night
the corrupt scarecrow left that place
And a pale light was cast
Upon his twisted upturned face
For when a heart is blackened
It’s no surprise that very soon
Even a kind and gentle soul
Will end up howling at the moon
