Beneath

by Scott M Pratchner

smile now in your ignorant sleep
and dream of riches gained
ties you trust declared Them false
a veil pulled o'er your eyes
but i've glimpsed Horrors from the deep
untold Truths beneath our sight
Things whose thoughts so black and hot are kept
imprisoned in the night.
but They stir, oh yes, and draw so near
I hear Their blackfire breath
the unkempt wards that hold Them down
are fading fast away
and soon you'll wake
to see the truth
on that dreaded
final
day.
