What happens when those who warn are the first to be devoured?
Full of hate,
they rushed across the land;
we cried while beasts of terror arrived.

from the gullible minds;
women and children could pose no threat.
Shamed online,
if you raised the warning
that leaders cared not if you survived.
—H, exiled for shouting what others refused to hear
