In dark night, callous frames
dancing around fire making claims
truth must die and lie prevail
casting sorcery in gory ale
facsimile of what world is today
cooked with grudges in pots of clay
humanity is served as entree
– welcome to the devil’s buffet.

I can smell the scent of brimstone from the devilβs cauldron… but itβs probably cooked by humans.

This is a deliciously dark Quadrille, Neeraj, and I love the phrases ‘casting sorcery in gory ale’ and ‘cooked with grudges in pots of clay’.

Beautifully written, and yes, what can be see readily today all around. Even hoardes of humanity giving themselves up as main dishes.

The imagery is eerie, effective and sadly representative of how humanity has been swallowed up.
