Shallow Souls Unable to grasp What is through the next wall Trying to grasp Anything at all Shallow souls bring their tears in four saucers Not too deep Ready to drink Disgusting shallow souls We are shallow souls Tied beneath our shoes Not as the ocean but as the shore Not a painting, but a sketch nothing more You are shallow souls one, two, three, and four Crossed staves comprehend To save the shallow souls It will take more than sticks To rescue four shallow souls Not as the ocean but as the shore Not a painting, but a sketch nothing more You are shallow souls one, two, three, and four "It's a name we love Beauty with a label Understand we not History's greatest fable" Shallow souls maybe four Shallowed souls nothing more Their right to appease Exempt from miseries Not as the ocean but as the shore Not a painting, but a sketch nothing more You are shallow souls one, two, three, and four Expansion expansion expansion expansion Evil to grow You're safe In this saucer Never to know Never to know Shallow souls But deep hatred Hatred for what's wrong They know what's not right Take up their arms beside them For their lord they're ready to fight "Burn the enemy!" "Let their souls boil!" "Dip them in tar And scald them with oil!" "Crusade for the holy war We can't let them win We can't let them win! No we can't let them win Anymore!!" "BURN BURN BURN BURN! Heathens four!" Shallow souls shallow souls Empty souls empty souls Fade away away Dilute the souls shallow souls To mask them For another day "The heart can think of no devotion |

Can't help it. Sorry for the length, but I wanted that epic feel sort of like "The Hollow Men" by T.S. Eliot I guess I failed.  But who cares  "The heart can think of no devotion |

Awesome, Ozz! Very awesome! I was very impressed with how you had such a diversity of stanza styles in here, it was all over the place. Very creative, and very well done!  ~Allan Build a man a fire, and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. |

I REALLY like the last stanza! WOWWW.. very powerful! I really enjoyed this.. VERY nice, fozzy.. very nice indeed! Beautiful work  And the epic-style poem was acheived. I enjoyed this quite a lot!--Marie subconsciously, i think i can eat so much to make my stomach hurt, instead of my heart. |

This is really good. I like the message your trying to give and it flowed really well and had pretty good rythm. I especially liked the way you set up the last stanza, it was powerful. Good work. ~*Nikki*~ ~*Of all the millions of people in the world, I'm just me.*~ |

The last stanza was definetely my favorite part of this piece, but it was very well done throughout. great job on this, keep posting your work. Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing. |
