Something wicked this way comes

but what?

Shadows ache in the distance.
Shrill sounds make hearts flutter.
Thuds abound. We look around
And see nothing but darkness, yet
There’s a deeper darkness in the middle.
What could that be? Plutonian
The night and might makes right but right
Now we’re the weakest of the bunch.
Ripe for the taking but who
Wants to come and take us?

Something wicked this way comes
But
What?

Your poem gave me the shivvers, Moody's comment gave me a laugh.
All in all I'm glad I visited this page. Nicely done.

'And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?' Behold! It has three heads - one American, one Russian, and one Chinese.
