Poetry book inspired by an 18th century style, using a unique rhyming pattern over 9 lines per verse it has become a favorite of mine and I plan to use more often. It is like writing a short story or epoch with poetic verse. The poem explores the darker half of our human soul. Why is mankind proned to greed which eventually leads to war as things get out of hand?

Excerpt
Celestial battle in the Heavenly abode
Our world was formed in the fire
The Garden of Eden many seeds were sewed
Lost to mysteries of what really transpired
Secrets sung to melody of sweet lyre
Lake Van in the Khurdistan site of the deed
Only to become the world’s funeral pyre
The hunger for power a monster to feed
At the same time planted, demon seed
When time began at earth’s dawn
Evil lurked within every shadow
Precious life, beautiful fawn
Monstrous hunger beyond the meadow
Taking shape in the valley of Megiddo
Ancient city, Eridu
Slaves to fear in gossiper’s ghetto
Shemjazza spits, a dare to you
Legends born, Edimmu
Enlil and Enki sons of Anu
Came to Earth in search of gold
Nibiru’s atmosphere failing they knew
Mining this ore would help they were told
With honest intent , true and bold
The dark continent was their destination
Far from the lands of northern cold
To save their world was their determination
Architects of this endeavoring operation
