Something that just came to my mind I just decided to type down. Marked adult for detail, death and violence I guess.

 **I Am Famine**

I am the one who drains the water from your fields, drying out and rendering your crops to dust.  I am the one, jutting and grotesque, stripping the sustenance from your livestock.  I am the one who takes all strength from you, leaving but a husk behind.  No seed will grow, no cow will fatten.  I am hunger, I am waste, I am hopelessness.

**I Am Pestilence**

I am the one who poisons the waters in your oceans and in your bodies.  I am the one who is silent but forever everywhere.  I am the one who erodes your skin and lays waste to your tissue.  I will blacken the land and lay boils into your eyes.  I will be your writhing, inevitable end.  Of what I will do, there shall be no cure.  I am the great virus, I am disease, I am the waiting parasite.

**I Am War**

I am the great anger, the harbinger of never ending violence.  Mounts will swim and bodies will drown in the blood that will soak your land.  I will lead no army, but direct you to spill the blood of your loved ones.  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.  I will see you rip yourselves apart.  I am destruction, I am desolation, I am the volcano of wrath inside you all.

**I Am Death**

I am the greatest mercy sent to free you from your torment.  I am the one to bring stillness to a land once raped and a people so lost.  I am the last thing you shall see, I am what waits to embrace you once your suffering is done.  I am what you pray for as my brothers glean every last bit of hope and life from you.  I am the ending to a chapter of hell and the beginning of something new.  I am your fate, I am your greatest wish, I am the waiting embrace.
