THE DARKNESS
It Sits on the Thrones of Power
From the Darkest Depths of Darkness, it Came
The seats of power are occupied by rulers great and small. The evil has overcome all the good in the nations and the shroud of darkness has swept across the lands and torments hearts, as it holds hostage the souls of its good citizens. Call evil what you will, the name has changed over the centuries, and the Ages, the times have changed like the seasons. It has many names, like the Sith, the Dark One, and the Evil One. Yet, it continues to thrive and grow over the civilizations of humankind.
The Gods of the medieval, the ancient, the mythical, the old, and the new worlds, had captured and imprisoned the evil and decadent forces that grew out of the darkness, centuries ago. Yet, as the souls of the human race got and continue to get consumed by envy, jealousy, hatred, evil, and animosity, that negative power has collectively summoned the darkest entities from the fathomless depths of creation.
Those soulless phantoms of evil that moved wraithlike across the dark kingdom, have now been given form and structure. Every moment in time is filled with increasing numbers of those evil creatures, rising from the depths of darkness. They claw, scratch, growl, and with beastlike ferocity, come out from the darkest depths, in the foulest smelling bowels of creation to the top to sit on those hallowed seats of power, corruption, and destruction, in the lands of humanity.
Will goodness ever overcome the dark hearts that sit on thrones of iron, silver, and gold, as they manipulate, control and subjugate human society?
