Apocalypse

I brought the darkness,
Cold but comforting, to the world.
Last breaths were drawn in my presence,
A moment before Death came to gather souls.

I come with the wind and the ice,
Face pale and hidden in the shadows-
Ashamed of what I am.
The Plague.

My sisters and I,
Not together but never far,
Prey on people and animals alike
And bring Hunger, War, Plague and Death.

We sow the discord and greed,
We reap lives and hope.
We glide through the eras
On winged horses of doom.
