Stealthier

The ground, ever

so fertile for doubt, 

breeds the spawn

of Set, to be fed

on the mead

of ill will, so 

as to beget

that stealthier

form of harm:

it won't feast

upon the ruin

of its kin, but

will instead beat

the kettledrum, 

and have the 

hounds of hell

march willingly 

against no other

but its own self...

Thank you, Stephen! Yes, that's probably a wise choice! 😄

A subtle one, Holden. I think I'll steer clear of the mead of ill will.
