The Four Horsemen
Original piece by Denis Martindale

I saw them riding in a dream, Hell-bent upon their course,
No banner but a tearing scream, from there upon each horse...
And so they moved, this world to claim with utmost misery,
With death and suffering as their aim, their shame and infamy!

                              I saw them riding coast-to-coast, on sturdy steeds at night
                              And evil had them all engrossed, as if it held them tight...
                              And so they moved, one thought in mind, to bring the world despair,
                              Until the time four horsemen find their victims unaware!

I saw them riding recklessly, four shadows side-by-side,
As if their perfect destiny, each smiled with stubborn pride...
And so they moved and cut to shreds the mortal flesh of Man,
While moonbeams shone upon their heads; four mighty horses ran!

                              I saw them riding through my town and to my very street
                              And there they cast their curses down upon our hands and feet...
                              And so they moved, unmerciful, across the young and old,
                              To fill up every hospital with fever and with cold!

I saw them riding from my home, to Europe, for a spell
And I beheld that even Rome was subject to their Hell...
And so they moved, unmoved by deeds, unspeakable and foul,
Men's lives to quench like choking weeds or wicked wolves that howl!

                                                                                          I saw them riding, north and south, and east and west in time,
                                                                                          With blasphemies to fill each mouth, as if their perfect crime...
                                                                                          And so they moved, sharp tiger-toothed; Repentant? Not at all.
                                                                                          Four horses and four horsemen prove that none escapes their

Fall.

The poem is by Denis Martindale.
Unless you're Denis, you should really cite the poet somewhere.

That feel when you try to plagiarize a poem and then backpedal when you get called out on it.

I can't say I know that feel though.

Don't be a dick. I spent half an hour editing this post to try and get the indents right.

I think it's just a bit sad that people thought it was an original poem. It was clearly not intended as plagiarism (noone is dumb enough to pretend something this well known is theirs), it's just a cool way of celebrating the group.
