Paikin's Song

And So It Came To Be

And so it came to be
That Sahla he was
Yes but changed him so
By the venom coursing through
And the biters and burrowers too
Into something someone else
Than he would have been
If he'd but felt
The doings of The Chamber
That Second To The Left
As had been the plan

Yes an awful change indeed
Such so painful
You'd not wish it on
Your own worst foe

Thus he fell him down
And soon was underneathed
A living mass
Of the horrible and the small
Such awful little things
We'd scream to see
Even safely away

So imagine how it felt
To have them crawling through
And changing what had been
Into something new

At least until
His conscious mind
Was then shutdown
And his pain so ended
Whilst still the changes
Were slowly underway

Charles Petrie
