If not:
Humpty dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again
Humpty Dumpty now astray
lost in realms of disarray
where time's undone and shadows play
and sanity frays in the light of day
The king's horses and the king's men
ventured beyond their mortal ken
to bring Humpty back from the Void's den
they venured into the Eldritch Glen
in the maw of chaos they found their dread
where galaxies swirl and stars bled
they glimpsed at what lay in the abyss' bed
and wished for sweet oblivion instead
Humpty Dumpty once so small
became the nexus of it all
in the cosmic echo of his fall
we hear the universe's thrall
all the king's horses and all the king's men
never returned home again
Humpty echos in their screams
in a world beyond where reality dreams
The proud look on Mommie Chtulu's face makes it
Humpty Dumpty was a big cannon.
Never understood the point of the orignal rhyme. Like seems kinda dark.
Wow
A community to discuss Cosmic Horror in it's many forms; books, films, comics, art, TV, music, RPGs, video games etc.
"cosmic horror... is a subgenre of horror fiction and weird fiction that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock... themes of cosmic dread, forbidden and dangerous knowledge, madness, non-human influences on humanity, religion and superstition, fate and inevitability, and the risks associated with scientific discoveries... the sense that ordinary life is a thin shell over a reality that is so alien and abstract in comparison that merely contemplating it would damage the sanity of the ordinary person, insignificance and powerlessness at the cosmic scale..."
