Odin's Poet

Such radiance, you shine brighter all the stars combined putting the gods to shame

Filled with more beauty than Aphrodite could have in an eternity

No one can muster the courage to approach you from fear of turning to stone

Calling your body elegant is an understatement

Your body is smooth like snake skin, stronger than a diamond, as graceful yet more deadly than an Australian Box Jellyfish

Propaganda

Peace is a just a word to fool people into thinking there is such a thing as serenity and equality

We go to war claiming its to benefit our country when in reality we're sending our troops into traumatic ordeals with devastating results

Apathy

When taking a life no matter how you put it good or bad you have to lose yourself for that moment and become a machine, no heart, no emotion, a shell of who you used to be

Aftermath

Once that life is taken you have to deal with the consequences that come with it because there's so many things that go on the person(s) family grieving, your subconscious eating away what little sanity you have left, looking at your family and them knowing you're a murderer no matter how you try to sugar-coat it

You

As I look at you now sickness and all I see that you're just a shell of your old self

All those pills you take that claim to be good for you just make you look like a zombie without an appetite

To see you suffer the way you do hurts me so much why do you have to suffer like that?!

And then you make me help you kill yourself saying "this is the last time" and you smile weakly to try to reassure me

You have no idea what you put me through every time you say that and I'm so naive that I believe you!

I can't help but blame myself as well I could easily say no but I don't because I do want to see you upset I give in to your cruel desire and I watch as you smoke those God Forsaken things

I love you so much but starting today I refuse to help you kill yourself, the pain I go through watching you take a pull

Dripping down that line of uncertainty

Blinded by that curtain of vanity

Guided by a pool of cretins

Poor misguided regions

Foolishly accepting the hype passed down from generation to generation

The people have forgotten the importance of their foundation

Finding it impossible to embrace their pedigree
