The BeastEmpty,  Senses numbed by the fire,  From which only flows the unparalleled self hate  Of old.  Bloodshot eyes harken back the curse you thought you long lost.   
Your uly face shatters the porcelain mask,  Acid tears melt down to pain.  You watch the fractured image,  Of your hopes and dreams ebbing away -  Consumed by the monster long dead.   
You look down to your hands,  They're disappearing -  
Crawling away with your dignity.  Close your eyes,  Wish it all away.  Open wide,  And swallow slow death.   
Let it trickle down your throat,   The Beast

Altar of ConformityCast into the fray  Of laws not meant to be.  The words of the man cast an invisible cage:  A cage for the mind,  A cage for the soul.  Cages like bricks in the altar of conformity.   
Who were the first to listen?  To forsake the essence of their freedom?  Humanity has forgotten its animality,  Trading it cheaply for complexity and pain.   
How were they able to achieve it?  To rise so high above themselves?  To control the untamed; expoit it endlessly.  Changing the very composition of what is human.  Replacing instinct with routine,  Mystery with religion. Altar of Conformity

To nothingTrees green, in blur of speed.  The sky purple through tinted haze.  Needles piercing skin,  Senses of pain forgotten.  Ashen faces,  Streaming blue eyes.  Gloved hands fumbling,  Swaying with destiny’s turns.  Life’s vehicle comes to a halt –  
The doors flung open.  Blinded by the light,  The wonder of colour fades.  Moving again now,  Breathing grows shallow.  Life’s contrast darkens,  Strange shapes replace the defined.  Laying paralysed,  Reeling in lost feeling,  Thoughts soothed by confusion,  Sound muted in terror.  Taking in deep breat To nothing

Who is left to blame?Who is left to blame,  When all the guns fall silent?  When the sky’s tears wash away the hate of men,  Her remorse for blood spilled lost in the echoes of dying men’s last cries.  Flying Death now lays buried,  The mud has gone away.  Tall poppies now grow in the fields,  Reminders of what was left to grow no more.   
Who is left to blame,  For a trail of broken hearts?  Families shattered; lives left to ruin,  Left to stay strong in glorified disaster.  The medals pinned to grieving chests,  Stick like needles to a broken soul.  Left bitter with distant memories and Who is left to blame?

I survived!

Sat Nov 11, 2006, 12:51 AM
  • Mood: Suffering
  • Listening to: Lamb of God
Well, I survived a week of slave labour... Work placement is over and I never have to do it again! So now I find myself with the prospect of a week's worth of HSC catch up to do... Fun fun.

I did however manage to sort of write something in the week, though it is for an assignment (which, thanks to work placement, I will be handing in late). So when I get it finished, some time this weekend, it will make it's dA appearance. Had some people misinterpret the last poem I wrote, so hopefully this story will clear it up too.

And that's it, deal with it.

Ben.
