Competitive, argumentative,
The human race is on a pace
To destroy itself, left on the shelf
of evolution, the resolution
that we made to play God
with things that we don't
understand, which reprimands
the fools who thought,
the fools who sought
control of the world,
were brought down
by the things that they made
The things that were put on parade
in front of us all as toys,
not human, not real
beings with feelings
and thoughts that could
change us all, that would
cause the fall of civilization,
and bring the world devastation
of untold measure.
Human folly, human error,
causing wars, creating terror
because we thought that it was okay...
that we could just play God all day.

Very profound, Cloud. Reminds me of the chimera discussion.

Cloud Strife · 02-07-2005, 03:29 PM

Look around you. (look inside...)
They're there. (On the wayside)
Thirsting, wanting, feeling. (Crying for help...)
Trying to rise up, cry out. (The features melt)

Trying to tell the world (Trying to tell you)
of the danger coming, (That our time is due)
coming to swallow us (Brought by our guilt)
and end in pain...(Destroy what we've built...)

Listen to them. (Feel their words...)
Heed the call...(It's not absurd...)
Protect the future...(Our only hope)
Or pay in pain...(Hung by a rope...)

Within the light, (Out of the dark)
Within our view, (From our own hearts)
The last delight (The last memory)
we never knew. (The final reverie...)

Tell me why my dreams fade away�
Tell me why there�s nothing I can say�
Tell me why I�m feeling this way�

�Cause now I feel nothing
I feel nothing anymore

Tell me how I face tomorrow�
Tell me I should give up my sorrow�
Or tell me nothing at all

�Cause I feel nothing
I feel nothing at all
No, don�t feel nothing
I feel nothing anymore

Tell me that I will be fine�
Tell me that someday is mine�
Tell me that is only takes time�

�Cause I feel nothing
I feel nothing right now

Frostbite

If I could find my pants
I would get out more.

I heart Sasuke

Everybody loves a whiny little pissant moody brooding emotionaless jerk.
The chicks dig that, man.

I lied. I actually loathe you.
Go fuck yourself.

Sanctimonious, supercilious
Their words just bounce off me.
Aggravating, ever-grating
Faithless, thoughtless lies.

All pretension, no retention
They vomit endlessly.
Shut your worthless fucking traps
Go to hell and die.

the word
the mind
explanations as to the effect
of time on personalities
live out what is given
like or dislike flavors
consume

love like doorhinges
never tire
well tinted windows
allow no happiness
to shine through
contrast is broken
when knowledge leaves

ice cold matrimony
have another bottle
it goes down smooth
as commercials do
kill
end transmission
no reply

the word
the heart
the soul
the mind
consume them
eat perfection
on toast

Free Verse

is an irregular form

of
poetry

in which the content free of traditional rules of
versification,

(freedom from fixed meter or rhyme).

In moving from
line to
line,

the poet's main

consideration is where to
insert line breaks.

Some ways of doing

this include breaking the line where there is a natural pause

or at a point of suspense

for the reader.

Funka Genocide · 02-08-2005, 08:32 PM

coming nonstop
rapid fire insult
injury without wounds
aggravation mounting
nail bite torture

speak, converse
admit that everythings alright
contact, bring joy
cease absence
be here now

drops of blood
unseen, unheeded
a pool is formed
knowledge of the pain
growing like embers

offbeat desire
neverending penitence
crime undefined
sentence carried out
martyr for hire

This isn't my poem. It's actually one that CelesJessa sent to me quite a while ago. She wrote it for English Class, and said that it reminded her a lot of one of my characters in an RP we were in together. Here it is:

The Warrior and his Angel
by CelesJessa

The warrior fell to his knees,
his blood drenching the ground,
a tear slides down his cheek,
a miracle, hoping to be found.

He closed his eyes,
the end drawing near,
To die here alone
filled him with fear.

He was defiant,
unwilling to face,
to die here alone,
without a tender embrace.

He felt a soft touch,
was it just in his mind?
He opened his eyes,
To see love's divine.

"Was she a Seraph,
One of God's own?
To welcome me
to His eternal home?"

He closed his eyes again,
ready to depart,
She clutched his hand,
and placed it on her heart.

"O maiden," he cried
As she pulled him to her chest,
"Are you here
to bring me eternal rest?"

A melancholy smile,
spread across her face,
"I'm sorry, my love,
but this is your place."

He started to tell her,
he was ready to move on,
but when his eyes opened,
his angel was gone.
