Elegy Written to the Already Dead Churning up the collective for miles A man hidden unto himself Shielding his soul from unjustified smiles Feels his life sorted onto a shelf This man, grim style remembered A legend written for satisfaction Families torn and bodies dismembered Casualty of society? Congratulation Forced to stare into sorrow unphased This man care forgotten of his name Immaterial to which his sin is based Dead to us now, kill him now, this is his game "Only God can judge me," predetermined journey For this man already dead on delivery to us This man who looked upon a crimson colored gourney And laughed to his satisfied take on justice How many dead among us as we speak Of horrors and fears and demons We overlook the lost as we seek the horrors and fears and demons Here the body, soul found deeper His frightful deeds didn't scare the reaper May god bless, may God bless Us May He damn the rest... "This is cactus land!!!"-T.S.Eliot |

Excuse me, but I didn't quote anyone that I know of not even Tupac. What line would that be anyway? "This is cactus land!!!"-T.S.Eliot |

"May god bless, may God bless Us May He damn the rest..." This was my favorite part. I found the the poem was nice, but the beginning was weak....the middle was tame, and the ending roared really nicely. The ending rocked, but the fact that the beginning and middle didn't do much for me made the poem lose a bit of appeal. Regardless, and due to the ending, I liked the poem. Great message...hope to see more!  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |
