I’m on my knees,
Reciting Christian prayers,
In the shadows of pagan god statues,
Swaying with the sounds of nature,
Asking for favors from the land of men,
I paint sincerity upon my face,
And humility down my neck,
Waiting for my undeserved miracles,
To flow into me.
The universe dies as we humans feed on it,
There is no way,
We are the creations of gods,
Or objects of their affection,
And if we are,
What kind of pathetic gods would want such a sorry bunch,
If we actually achieved our true potential,
We would be worthy to stand amoung them,
And to bask in their glory,
But we are far from it,
And I doubt, we ever will be.
The things we kill,
The way we hate,
The way we rob all goodness from this world,
So we can fit in it,
The way we just don’t care what we do,
As long as we get something,
For our sad little existences.
Gods; don’t pity us,
Don’t help us,
Don’t ever create something like us again.
Please.

Sometimes poems you write in five minutes are pretty good. :P

A little bit of editing wouldn't hurt, but even as is, it's great. I love the first nine lines. :)
:iconarchmagesynok:
thanks, those 9 lines were the basis of my poem, I was actually imagining it as a music video for the Serg Tankian song "Honking Antelope". The rest was a result of me being in a depressive mood.

I've only heard one of his songs so far, but I liked it. I was going to get it for Jon for Christmas (because I only get him stuff I'll enjoy too, of course) but we ended up getting Guitar Hero III, which cost a fortune. :( Maybe I'll look for a couple of his songs online. Finding music is about all Youtube is good for these days. :P
:iconarchmagesynok:
you really should, his stuff is amazing. I got the limited edition of his cd, with a bonus disk of 4 songs, and a booklet of his poetry. And you can tell that some of his poems are inspired from that book Ishmael I was telling you about, I think the poem was titled "Civilization".
