The world’s gone mad, ain't no argument about it. Cities are turned to dust and the sun scorches down on us all. But even in this wreckage, there’s still a little bit of sanity. We find it in the little things: a working canteen, a scrap of cloth for here patching up our hideout, or maybe just a clear night sky. And sometimes, we find it in the poetry that echo through the ruins.
These aren’t your highbrow verses about love and loss. No sir, these are gut-wrenching words about survival, about the grit it takes to keep going when everything else has collapsed. These are tales whispered around campfires, shared between wanderers. They’re a reminder that even in the darkest of times, we can still find hope in the most unexpected places.
- Listen to the wind howling through the broken windows, it’s singing a song of endurance.
- Picture the stars shining brighter than ever, illuminating the path ahead.
- Hold Onto that even in this wasteland, there’s still a fire burning inside each of us.

Cormac's Fiends: A Silversteinian Haunting
A chill creeps down your spine as you turn the page. The shadowy illustrations of Cormac McCarthy paint a picture of nightmarish creatures, but these aren't run-of-the-mill monsters. These are bats, yes, but not the innocuous kind you see flitting about a summer garden. These are bats with teeth like knives, eyes that burn in the darkness, and a hunger that is insatiable. They swarm through the pages, their wings beating like a thunderclap. You feel trapped, powerless before these Silversteinian horrors, and the sense of dread tells you this is just the beginning.
- Their wings rustle like death's breath.
- You can't tell what's real anymore.

Blood Meridian Blues: An Ode to the Feral Flock
This here's a song about cruelty, 'bout the kind of heart that beats like a drum in the belly of amonster. We sing for the bandits, the ones who walk on the edge of humanity, their souls stained with the red kiss of the desert wind. The earth run red with their blood, and their screams echo across the plains like the wail of alost soul. They are the herd, the feral children of this forsaken land, forever haunted by the shadow of violence.
Let us raise our voices, brothers and sisters, in a hymn to the savage heart. Let us sing a song of defiance against the order, and embrace the chaos that dances in their veins. For they are the true children of freedom, living on the razor's edge, where death is always waiting.
