First Post! An Elegiac Sonnet for Class

Yeah, that's right, a sonnet. Take it or leave it.

Last grip lost, complete isolation now
The carcass hauled away, forever gone
And left in a dark place so far below
The world knows it has witnessed its last dawn.
Death’s hold is strong, never before beaten.
Millions have tried but all will lose, surely.
Mountains of corpses, piled to be eaten
By his militia of plague, his army.
There is no hope, only acceptance sad
Knowing it is over, the task complete.
What joy can be found in this cruel fad
That draws many, for the fiend, to their feet?
Then suddenly the stone is rolled away
The grave empty, the sun rises, new dawn!

Well this was my attempt for extra credit in my English class. Hope it entertained you.
