[hometext] => I have a series of poems on The Carnival of Death. This is the last one in the series.
[bodytext] => I have walked across the lands for thousands of years Ageless, faceless, fearless, painless And yet in those same instances, old, ugly, afraid, and hurt Old beyond my years because of being alone Ugly because of the weight of the sins I carry Afraid that my next breath may be my last And hurt because I am shunned by the ones I care about most But soon...all that would change with one opportunity As I strode through the deserted wasteland that was my mind, a tall figure stood before me, blocking out the oppressive sun "My son, your day of salvation is at hand! I can give you new life!" "What do you ask in return, master?" "An army of evil, of sin. You shall be my Ringmaster." "Yes." From that day forward I became a collector of souls, a harbinger of death I became The Ringmaster in a Carnival of Sin The Unholy Messenger of Doom Religious...satanic. Good...evil. Giver and taker of life. On that day...I became Sin Incarnate The Devil...in the flesh.
