Questions

No Moon shines tonight, stars hidden.

Clear judgment veiled.

In the arena, only one can return victorious.

Heroes are all hailed.

Liberties taken; freedoms removed.

Solitary confinement, jailed.

Did I do my duty, honorably served?

My mission is over, failed.

I pierced you twice, I stomped you out.

You tried on me, but it was you who was killed.

Was this my destiny, where am I going?

How will I know when my prophecy is fulfilled.

I feel no remorse, is that by choice?

Or is it willed.

In a moment, a flash. All the pain is gone.

Be quiet, be stilled.

Are you proud of me, and the monster within?

Or have I left you disappointed.

A hot breath of air, now cold. Is this the holy water?

Am I now anointed?

Baptism by fire, Hell did rain down. A split in my psyche.

Thoughts so disjointed.

What shape now approaches, good or evil? A pentagram,

The Devil is five-pointed.
