A poem, untitled

[Zodiac X]

The scariest things in the world are the things you can see,
Monsters, Demons and mankind's atrocity.

Guardians of Nature and Destroyers of all roam free and remain at large,
just who do you think is really in charge?

The spectre of death is everywhere in our space and trapped in time,
endlessly we all walk this thin black line.

Freedom and peace an illusion shrouded by ghastly visions of wars and hell,
chances are we are not doing so well.

A Leviathan rises from the sea time and time again,
when will this nightmare finally come to an end?

Between a nightmare and a dream lies my cursed reality,
when good and evil battle it is the innocent that suffer don't they see?

How much more must I lose to pointless strife,
all I have left is my small life.

My soul is burned with radioactive flame,
but there is no one to blame.

I will die and nothing will change,
the world will remain the same and its monsters will still be filled with rage.

OMG! This is an amazing poem! Wonderful work. I love the rhyming scheme and the words have a lot of feeling in them.

Tell me, is there anything going on in your life ((if you don't mind me asking)) that gave you inspiration to write this? Life often gives people inspiration in their poetry. ^_^

lol, I was just putting down the first thing that came to my mind. So many people make poetry about the monsters, I thought to look through the eyes of a victim who lost everything, for no reason at all...I tried to channel that feeling instead. I showed up alittle late to sign up for the contest, but I figured I would give it a go anyways.

As for life issues...company "downsized" let alot of people go..after I fell in the walk in cooler because THEY didnt clean up chicken blood that leaked onto the metal floor, I was picking up a box of cheese and turned for the door...down I went right on to my back, hard.

Now days I can only do things for a half hour at a time before it hurts enough to make me consider to keep going, cause of that..not much I can do anywhere else....that was awhile back. Nobody wants a hinderance to their company ha ha....its funny I suppose....somehow.

*hugs* I hope you feel better. It sounds like it was quite painful. You did the right thing by expressing your emotions through poetry, it is an amazing piece of work.
