Shadow of Darkness: Drac's Poetry Room

Yes, Drac does poetry. Gasp! Anyway, considering I never plan on publishing any of this, I've decided to just post them here. I've gotten a lot of feedback, and I'd like to point out that poetry is not my main form of writing. In other words, this place will be small. Like...really small. Yeah, fun, right!? Anyway, whatever. I guess you all can enjoy all of my poetry.

Life
By: DraconicArcania/DraconicArts
Life is a quest, a journey, a fight to find light in this deep and shady black,
A battle for a meaning,
A meaning of yourself, of life, kept strong by one's dreaming,
Of what this this time and life has to offer, whilst forging ever onward down life's twisted, crooked path.

A game of endless strategy,
You must continue on,
To find respect in this endless trek, until the light of day's dead and gone,
Press ever onward, press on 'till you can't, keep pressing on through pan and sorrow, joy and tragedy.

But most of all you must retain,
Yourself and who you are,
For along this trek you alone will determine where to go, though the end is far,
You must forge onward, retain yourself, for in the end you decide your total loss or gain.

Forge onward, keep going on, you must lose or prevail,
Though the path is long and dark,
You must meet the end, you must finish this path and leave your mark,
For in the end you must decide---shall you succeed or fail?

Written at around...March 23, 2010, I guess.

Together We Can (Not)
By DraconicArcania/DraconicArts
Together we can all be one,
And eliminate all war and hate.
But when it is all said and done,
We sit, we watch, we wait,
We can’t, and, of course, we won’t,
“It’s all good” we blindly say,
In other words, it’s all simplified to… we just simply don’t,
It’s the unfortunate human way.

We can make a place
In which we can all dwell
As one human race.
Yet while around us people die, we blindly say “All is well.”
We live each day knowing that somewhere
Something’s not quite as ‘well’ as we believe.
And yet each day, though we’re aware,
A blanket of false comfort we perpetually weave.

“Free the soul.”
“Free the mind.”
“Reach your goal,”
And “Love all human kind.”
But that’s just what they say
To cover up their blissful lack of knowledge.
And yet the veil gets less transparent, each and every day.
This is what people think love is, when they’re pushed off the edge.

We live as mindless drones,
Who simply long for fame and wealth.
Together we trudge through the bones
Of failure. Together we will cast away what truly is our being.
But what we all know, yet few will comprehend
About life is that true happiness is found when one begins seeing
That when one turns back to being themselves, they see the true path to the end.

It’s not if you win or lose,
Rather how you play the game.
It’s together that we lose
What fogs our vision, and at that moment, we’ll see the path to that long-awaited fame.
Fate is a cruel mistress if you don’t know what to do
To reach your fate and gain your prize
Which is, in the end, inside you.
And so, together, as one society of individuals we find that joy is tolerance in disguise.

Written October 13, 2010.

Society
So what?
So why?
We live,
We proclaim peace.
But you know what?
There's nothing
that anyone does to even
support love,
and peace,
and hope,
and humanity.
Save
for
a
few,
we're all just
mindlessly pushing through the crowd.
We follow and don't care,
for we are fed and entertained.
Bread
and
circus.
It's the excuse for
why people turn their
heads to mass murderers.
It is why we are all no better than
that man who shot up the
local grocery,
for whom we hang our
heads and condemn to death.
But you know what?
You're no better
because you just
do
nothing
.
You want peace?
You want love?
Then why don't you
and another large
portion of this planet
get off your lazy asses
and do something?
