Unreasoning Fear

A deaths head lurks in the darkness of man's mind,
A child of decay and destruction beyond that of any other kind.
In its wake humanity flees,
And beastiality reigns.
Rising panic,
Stark terror,
Headlong flight,
All a product of man's inability to cope,
The absence of even the slightest hope,
An Unreasoning Fear.
