“Nothing Man by Stewart Stafford
I return to plague night's wanderers,
Dark hours and thoughts personified,
Driven by this scorching crusade,
Agitation flooding my skewed brain.
Many have tried to kill me and failed,
They think material weapons can work,
I am immaterial and absorb punishment;
An elemental fire they cannot extinguish.
No targets are off limits to me, I fear,
Aye, I am an equal opportunities predator,
Praying for my victims as I prey upon them,
Then am I consumed, at one with darkness.
