They first noticed creepers crawling
into the dingy depths of caves —
impossibly feeding on that rich darkness.
Something was out of balance.
Something was wrong in the machine —
the one they called it the engine of evil —
and either it was running over the redline,
or its counterpart was faltering.
Either way,
War.
Pestilence.
Famine.
Genocide.
All for lack of a mechanic.
Excellent metaphors.
