I'm heard when fear makes lesser people flee, that others would condemn with mockery. A soldier shot to fame by cooking me, as did a sailor fond of greenery.

Seasons change, so do i. Grip loosens as time goes by. My brothers and i, we start to fall. Side to side we sway. I drag the air against earths pull. Resisting the inevitable. Herded together we swallow children whole. But laughter is all you hear.

I am the ancient wages of the soldiers march, The white rot of iron and the crumbling of the arch, I am the tears of the earth left behind by the tide, Where the thirsty find death with water on every side.

Don't try to steal from my library because I can turn my head three hundred sixty degrees. I appreciate any contribution but if slighted you won't hear my retribution.

I’m the death that rides at night And sends the small ones wild with fright. I, silent, pounce upon my prey before they know I’m on my way. I kill so fast there are no moans, and when I’m done, I leave the bones.
