Sanguinarius Indefunctus

SANGUINARIUS INDEFUNCTUS
© DV8 2008

We are everywhere
We live
In every city
Every town
Every Country
The remotest places
You can think of
On this Earth

We thrive on
Your Fears
Your Nightmares
And Insecurities
We Exist
On nothing more
Than the thimble-full
Of life
That we take
From you

We are few
You are many
By the laws
Of nature
You are nothing
But a delicious
Red, flowing meal
For us

A writhing
Living vessel
Of hot flesh
And delicious blood
That we must
Devour whole

But that
Is not our way
We must preserve
Our kind
And so we feast
Upon you
Your Brethren
And your families
Secretly and you
Never even know

Unlike mankind
We never kill
Unnecessarily
We defend ourselves
But never kill
Wantonly and with
Complete abandon
Unless we have to

We are here
Will always be
Here with you
Amongst you
Watching you
Preying upon you
Entering your dreams
Feasting on your
Life’s essence

Forever
