You decided to read the tome. Only 4 pages are intact, but all seem to go in order. The tome seemed glued or somehow attached to the Notice Board, making it where you would have to tear it off. It was titled "Tenebris".

Tenebris

Pyrrhic Beauty

Here the innocent weep
The guilty dream with peaceful sleep
Here is where our sins run free
The innocent locked in a vile asylum with no key
Here is our monument to monsters
The wolves in sheep’s clothing, predatorial impostors
Starlight shines not bright, but dim
For darkness has turned our world grim
United we were suppose to be
Divided we fell so fatefully
History shows again and again
The grave folly of our species called human
Beauty in our fallacies
Irony in our tragedies
Nothing beautiful hopes to last
Without change… humans will be the past

War, the Deceitful Beast

All we see is a courageous glow
All in time while black blood flow
We cheer as our birds of prey once again fly
We forget all those bound to die
This is war, mankind’s deceitful beast
On the woes of losers and cheers of winners it shall feast
Each new era in our time
War seeks new ways to make death more sublime
Losers blame victors for it’s creation
But in reality, it is merely our false obligation
Fantastical borders as it’s vein
Unity will make it’s black blood drain
United we stand, forever to stay
Divided we fall, forever to fade away
……
Survive the beast
End the feast

Ruinous Shift

Yet again here we are
Trying to change what is up to par
Start a change
Re-arrange
Looking out from a different cage
Now our hopes begin to lift
Crushed again by Ruinous Shift
Closed one portal to reveal another
This era of change is one to suffer
……
Change is nigh, change is nigh
Let the news reach the sky
No farewell, no goodbye
Change is nigh, change is nigh.
……
Here we start
Here we end
And repeat the cycle once again.

Tyrannus

Tyranny, oh Tyranny
Disrupter of serenity
Oppressor to the average majority
Upholder of the wealthy minority
Keep the borders that separate unity
Do what you can to ruin the sense of community
Tyranny, oh Tyranny
Dominus (Master) of cruelty
Curse the world so brutally
As it curses you so ruefully
For letting you rule so foolishly
Now there is the bad guy, a role you fit so suitably
Tyranny, oh Tyranny
You see the world as your toy
Ignoring the value of all that you destroy
I presume from this, you take joy
Because you wait to play your violent ploy
What evil plan you intend to employ…
Tyranny, oh Tyranny
Look at your Pyrrhic Beauty…
