Marked adult for detail, death and violence I guess.","content":" **I Am Famine**\n\nI am the one who drains the water from your fields, drying out and rendering your crops to dust.\u0026nbsp; I am the one, jutting and grotesque, stripping the sustenance from your livestock.\u0026nbsp; I am the one who takes all strength from you, leaving but a husk behind.\u0026nbsp; No seed will grow, no cow will fatten.\u0026nbsp; I am hunger, I am waste, I am hopelessness.\n\n**I Am Pestilence**\n\nI am the one who poisons the waters in your oceans and in your bodies.\u0026nbsp; I am the one who is silent but forever everywhere.\u0026nbsp; I am the one who erodes your skin and lays waste to your tissue.\u0026nbsp; I will blacken the land and lay boils into your eyes.\u0026nbsp; I will be your writhing, inevitable end.\u0026nbsp; Of what I will do, there shall be no cure.\u0026nbsp; I am the great virus, I am disease, I am the waiting parasite.\n\n**I Am War**\n\nI am the great anger, the harbinger of never ending violence.\u0026nbsp; Mounts will swim and bodies will drown in the blood that will soak your land.\u0026nbsp; I will lead no army, but direct you to spill the blood of your loved ones.\u0026nbsp; I am the voice screaming inside that drives your fist into that of your neighbor, that drives the dagger into the back of your brother.\u0026nbsp; I will see you rip yourselves apart.\u0026nbsp; I am destruction, I am desolation, I am the volcano of wrath inside you all.\n\n**I Am Death**\n\nI am the greatest mercy sent to free you from your torment.\u0026nbsp; I am the one to bring stillness to a land once raped and a people so lost.\u0026nbsp; I am the last thing you shall see, I am what waits to embrace you once your suffering is done.\u0026nbsp; I am what you pray for as my brothers glean every last bit of hope and life from you.\u0026nbsp; I am the ending to a chapter of hell and the beginning of something new.\u0026nbsp; I am your fate, I am your greatest wish, I am the waiting embrace.\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
