The world’s gone mad, ain't no argument about it. Cities are turned to dust and the sun bakes 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 decent canteen, a scrap of cloth for patching up our shelter, or maybe just a bright night sky. And sometimes, we find it in the poetry that echo through the ruins.
These aren’t your sophisticated verses about love and loss. No sir, these are gut-wrenching words about survival, about the strength it takes to keep going when everything else has crumbled. These are narratives whispered around campfires, recitated between wanderers. They’re a reminder that even in the darkest of times, we can still find hope in the most unexpected places.
- Hear Me Out to the wind howling through the broken windows, it’s singing a song of resilience.
- Envision 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 murky illustrations of a nameless author paint a picture of terrifying 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 meadow. These are bats with teeth like knives, eyes that burn in the darkness, and a hunger that knows no bounds. They swarm across your vision, their wings beating like a thunderclap. You feel trapped, powerless before these beasts from beyond, and the fear tells you this is just the beginning.
- They hiss with promises of pain.

Blood Meridian Blues: A Ballad for the Wild Ones
This here's a song about cruelty, 'bout the kind of heart that beats like a drum in the belly of apredator. We sing for the outlaws, the ones #toxic fandom who walk on the edge of reason, their souls stained with the red kiss of the desert wind. The sands run red with their blood, and their screams echo across the plains like the wail of aforsaken soul. They are the band, the feral children of this forsaken land, forever haunted by the specter of violence.
Let us raise our voices, brothers and sisters, in a hymn to the wild 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 warriors, living on the razor's edge, where death is always waiting.
