In a place that yearns for joy and love, artistry is a true treasure! Long after the Final World War of 2023, during which Earth was ravaged by nuclear, chemical, and digital warfare, the Last Citizens of the Globe do their best to hold together the things that are most important to them – their illustrious illustrations, their powerful poetry, their poignant pictorials, and a deep connection to one another. Anton Lender, master of evil, has made his best attempt to destroy all the light and goodness on the planet and now his reputation precedes him. The following poem is a lullaby often recited to the children of this woeful second world, warning them of Lender’s evil ways while they anxiously await the arrival of a new hope…
Anton Lender,
I remember
What you did that Dark December!
Anton Lender,
How'd you ever
Do such evil to hearts so tender?!
Brutal offender!
Hateful dissenter!
Bodies defiled and bodies dismembered
Lie in his wake!
It's no mistake!
Bloodshed is the goal of all his endeavors!
Anton Lender,
Ever so clever!
He never says anything! He never says never!
A devil's inside him!
All gods denied him!
Death itself stands close beside him!
Anton Lender,
I remember,
What you did that Noir November!
None left alive!
No soul survived!
1000 bodies on burning embers!
Anton Lender,
I remember
What you did to appease your needing
All those Months!
All at once
Countless hearts left broken and and bleeding!
Blood and terror!
Make no Error!
Cross his path and feel his wrath!
His love is death!
His every breath
Is spent in attempts to make the world lament!
Anton Lender,
I am pleading
That you cease to be the thing you're being!
Go far away
Where no thing stays,
And cease to be the thing we're seeing!!
Anton Lender,
Please remember
The souls you tragically took forever!
Change your ways!
Become astray
From all the world, 'til the end of days!!!
