Tell me what you think of it! :D

-

Death and gore spread throughout
Insects crawl through your veins
The world thrown into disarray
Blood and violence rises now

Abominable beasts
Contemptible men
Wretched whores
And sullen slaves

Swarms of locusts eclipse the sun
One by one the stars devoured
Endless night, eternal winter
Rot and decay, festering flesh

Last days draw near
Apocalypse incoming
Riots flow freely
Warring nations about

The strings of fate are cut down by axes
Kings and rulers fall to their knees
All shall perish before the onslaught
All shall burn in the conflagration

The deities are dying
Their heads are trophies
Their bodies are eaten
Armageddon begins

The seas tossing and turning, heaving about
Earth is trembling, shuddering apart
Skies are collapsing, grand calamity
The wheel of time undergoing destruction

The end is nigh
Hang yourselves
Lest you suffer
A terrible fate

I'm sorry, I can't get away from the subject matter.

Well this is fucking weird. But at least it has a point of view. If you cut some of the generalizations, universals, and cliches, it wouldn't be that bad. The ending is interesting.

For instance:

Quote
Death and gore spread throughout

Ineffective.

Quote
Insects crawl through your veins

Effective. (though I would change your to their or my or our because that would be stronger/more specific)

Quote
The world thrown into disarray
Blood and violence rises now

Ineffective.

Quote
locusts eclipse the sun

Effective. (perhaps still a little cliche, but it's far superior to 'blood and violence rises now')

So on and so forth.

Let the images do your work. Avoid telling us 'it's the apocalypse', 'there's lots of death', etc. Let the images tell us that.



None.

I'll think of that when I write my next piece. Thanks for your comments!
