He roamed
alone
a wolf in the wilds
tearing
enraged
at his lower self

The gods were pleased
and granted him vision
to see
to know
the hidden in things

A terrible vision
seared in his mind
a horror
deathly
of what must come

Spake he:

The time will come
when women are wanton
treacherous
devouring
both husband and son

Children will argue
and parents concede
fearful
devoured
by ravenous seed

Monarchs will vacate
in favor of vassals
sickly
beggars
scraping in shackles

Brother will backbite and brother will scheme
defection, malice
avarice, fission
These are the things I have seen in my dreams
