The dark engines teased me they did. Knew of past slips and crevacies dipped. Started with taunts, long sorrowful sips. Showed cemented souls in dank pits.
It took fragile miles drawn from wrong. To erupt and lay claim. Alignment painfully gone. Grinding piled teeth along the way. Around infected perimeters rim. Contenders bid humanity's stay. Aloud, each crowd bewildered. Will announce the lost each day.
