Fleshless faces that crows have pecked bare
In ash I lay, born from fire and lust
I am a child of tainted dust

Blood drips from me, my eyes are blind
My soul is empty and corrupt is my mind
I came to this world clean of slate
Society damned me to my fate

If man will not love me for what I am
If he truly wishs to damn
Then I draw my sword to reap his foul soul
Let war rain, let the blood flow

To arms o ye men of brittle bone
Come while you may to this land of stone
For soon, too soon it will become a sea
Of fallen children, silenced by me

A child tainted by hate
Damns the world to his fate

Silenced to Dust

Let war rain, let the blood flow

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! My friend this was friggin
awesome. Full of anger and hate, but most
importantly it was very poetic and well written.
The imagery was just stunning, for example.
"Fleshless faces that crows have pecked bare"
Who could not love that? I also enjoyed the part
about seas of fallen children. This was
awesome was lacking nothing and needs nothing more.
Kudos to you!

ooo deliciously dark!! :p
maybe just lose the 'and' from the second line of the second stanza and work on keeping the timing of the third stanza in with the rest..
however, this really is a great write, by a clearly talented poet!
if you do change it let me know i'd love to read it!
