Tartarus

In this morbid affair,
A sky torn red asunder sows beneath it
A season of despair.
Flashes of light amidst the thunder; acidic rain
Drizzling lightly on charred earth.
Where agonising and slow, the wounded crawl among
A new pandemic's birth.
Rabid hounds howl and maul the dead, eyes seething menace
and full of dread.
Sinister dogs sate a thirst of its inner beast; while above ashen sky,
Vultures hover- a frenzy building at sight of such carrion feast.
