Horsemen

I am war.
For an eternal battle wages within me.
Id versus ego.
Man vs. Beast.
Swift strikes of human frailty 
Mind against matter.

I am pestilence. 
A virus, a cancer.
Words drill into the simple mind.
Sights infect the senses. 
That eager manipulation.
That willingness to be downed by a sickening phrase. 
"You cannot."

I am famine.
The hunger to know.
To take. 
I hunger to have.
Have beyond need.
Beyond self. 
Passion begets hunger.

I am death.
For I have quit. 
Give way to nil.
Broken the bridge. 
And sailed with charon.
