Dark Visitors by Mark Spencer

It was an experiment in time travel,
That is all it was supposed to be.
How could we know what we were getting into,
Or expect the horrors we would see?

We opened a rift between the dimensions,
And these creatures just came pouring through!
Killing everyone with such merciless glee,
While I kept myself hidden from their view.

They were demonic things with glowing green eyes,
Dark shadowy monsters, burst from the hole.
Through tearing flesh, I could hear people screaming,
God please don't let them feed on my soul!

They spoke a crude and complicated language,
It was difficult to understand.
But as I lay there, I listened closely,
My understanding did expand.

They were angry at our experiment,
Said it caused many of their own to die.
They called us a threat that must be destroyed,
Killing us all would be their reply!

I have never witnessed such brutal carnage,
Or the savage nature of their assault.
Spitting their thunderous fire, without mercy,
I thought their attack would never halt.

They returned through the rift, thinking all were dead,
One stayed behind to seal the portal.
I managed to catch the creature by surprise,
And discover that it was mortal.

Before I killed it, I learned what I needed,
Then I fed on the vile creature's soul.
I learned it was human, a tasty species,
But I don't think it achieved it's goal.

More of my people have begun to gather,
Our fallen brothers they wish to avenge.
This human race must be taught a lesson,
Now we will go and have our REVENGE!
