Waxor's tears went out for those
who stood in single file lines
Waxor's tears drained his eyes
for mating pairs afraid of time
Waxor cried for those who huddled
in groups held tight yet torn
Waxor cried amid the smoke
of wastelands ignorance born
when the night was young
and the day was old
and the sun despaired of life
Waxor's tears fell in the bowl
ran its brim over sides
for all the needy, for all the lost
for the victims of the bones
Waxor cried and wept in frost
sadly sobbing muffled groans
the scourge had come
had sown the wrath
doing nothing they stand and wait
the creeping smell
of rotting struggles
did weight the bow to break
as blood filled the skies
and flesh ran in rivers
as the winged ones spread the plague
the darkness multiplied
extending its reach
spelling doom for the gilded age
in a narrow valley
a spark hid low
in a tuft of meadow sod
the searchers were sent
to track it down
to seal it in the pod
they were to bring it
to the killing fields
amid the worst of the worsening blight
its head would be shaved
its back striped bare
bound so it could not fight
and before those remaining
who begged for the sword
the spark would be made example
of how no resistance
is possible to lift
any spirit from the trample
the torture ensued
the spark did cry out
none helped and all to blame
so they bowed their heads
covered their ears
and closed their eyes in shame
all it would have needed
is for one to believe
and the spark she would be saved
to empower others
to seek the truth
and defeat the hate depraved
but fear was strong
and weakness stronger
the scourge would slaughter on
the growing shadows
encompassed the whole
never another dawn
light was dead
thought was dead
so Waxor wept his tears
for those in lines
for those in pairs
for those in groups of fear
Waxor cried
Waxor sobbed
Waxor weeps his tears
