Dear Horsemen,
I write to you with the utmost urgency and would implore you to respond with the same haste.
Before you ride out with apocalyptic haste with your biblical mission to lay this planet to waste.
Consider your God-given brief to bring down Earth’s fatal curtain.
Has not man come before you and made your journey uncertain?
Mr Death I must point out that even the media has tired of your menace and mortal endings, sad or uncertain, no longer make news or cause grief.
A far greater evil has oe'rtaken as meaningless social media babble makes your fated entrance a welcome relief.
Mr Famine Sir do consider your pointless journey before you saddle up to steal hope from the hungry, consider your job done and stay in the stable.
Man’s lust for profit, power has bred an unbridgeable inequality as the food he now squanders fails to make profit and bins as fast as he’s able.
Mr War before you ride with terrifying pomp and lay us all to waste; like your colleagues who ride with you ,we, man, have done it for you.
Mr Conquest…oh PLEASE don’t threaten or overwhelm us with dark days of foreboding. I fail to see how you can trump our terrifying efforts. After years on the run from one tyrant or other. We’ve found the best leaders to pound the populations and your talents would pale in their evil light.
Unbridle the reins, break out the hay.
Man has done it for you.
I bid you good day.
Mankind aka the mortal reapers.

Would love to see them at the jobcentre, being told to apply for work they are totally unqualified for
