Remember this cradled night
by the fury of this fight.
For this is reality;
Fear at its darkest plight.

You run around and commit theft;
the Hounds follow right at your step.
Smell the embers as they burn behind -
furious and bright with raging cinder's might.

Seek a fever pitch through offense -
narrow the time of someone's tense.
And as your worries manifest through trite
the Hounds hunger to receive your life.

Submit to the temptations and sins -
for you shall be punished by shattered kin.
Dine with swine and hear them scream;
that will soon be you - ripped by the seams.

Bigot with a red ink pen and paper,
scribble a lust letter and sign it, "Savior".
Knowing that even with the erect crown
thy will be dragged down by the Hell Hounds.

Shroud thy self with soaked brushes
and be pleasured with their touches.
Vanity is bleak to the Reaper's deeds
and he makes no exception for your carnal greed.

They waltz with you baring watchful eyes
as you live out your falsified life.
Slowly, they ensue your soul with guilt -
and they ravage the world you built.

Rip out your jealous eyes and envious heart;
The Hell Hounds Dance upon Hades Hearth.
Make the change and plant a divine seed -
do not give birth to a grievous breed.

Ruminate upon your strident anger
and seek the rewards of humbled labor.
For the Hounds savor the fat of a Sloth -
Enjoying the scent of rust as it rots.

Now you have embraced your fate with a plaint gait!
Sulfur burns the air as the Hell Hounds rave
for the meat on your bones and your hollow -
spiteful soul is their right to follow!

So as you struggle and strain from the pillar
to which you are chained
their Master comes on the winds of the grave,
ready to reap your soul with Death's turbid wave!

They prance and pounce upon the charcoal ground.
As the Widow summons with mystic sounds.
May your trial be painless as you are convicted.
Sent to Hell by the Dance of the Hell Hounds!
This poem was written about a year ago and it speaks about the concept, "you reap what you sow". Something I believe in, but at the time I wrote this I was depressed and angry at society - thus the very intense dark theme.

Note: This is the last dark piece I will post. Now we head into the "Figuring It All Out" part of my life.
