New Reapers: New Era

A short summary in a poetic version for my book New Reapers: Genesis. Enjoy.

When you feel the cold hand of death and the end drawing near, the reapers shall come and put an end to your fear. Created from darkness and from light, to preserve the balance and its might. Not to kill, nor to slay, but to keep the creatures of the night at bay. Fight to live and live to fight, all for the purpose of what was right. Creatures had turned the world into hell, while all attempts to resist immediately fell. Humans served corrupted gods of hate, believing this was their eternal fate. Until their saviors rained from the forgotten light, eliminating the evil from its might. Preserving the balance of evil and good, Never to allow any to intrude. The reapers fight as an act of valor, determined never to fall towards their final hour. Though fighting in the shadows never taking glory, it’s time to commence the reapers story.

I like this very much.. what we percive as bad is not alwys so.. and even death can sometimes be kind.. I like the way you used the concept of balance between good and evil.. not a new concept to me.. well written.. it held me long enough to want to read it again..

Your poem in very thought provoking and of course from the day we are born, death is the only thing we can be sure about. Yes you are right when you say....humans served corrupted gods of hate...seen time and again in history. There has to be a balance, but it's never easy.
Thank you for sharing. Certainly made me think.

Smooth and speedy on the tongue,
my only bump was good/intrude
between the two, I would save the intrude I think

[Brian Angeles]

Thanks so much :) and I got it

[J. Kell]

Well done. I liked the rhyme throughout, it had a good rhythm. This is a beautiful line "Saviors rained from the forgotten light," it made me think of a buddha or avatar type of thing. This is an interesting topic.

[Brian Angeles]

Thank you it is greatly appreciated.

I do like the poem, and, reading your other writings before this, it makes a lot more sense. I can see it as a sort of beginning or repeating message. Content-wise, great work. Structure-wise, I think you can shorten some of the lines and get rid of extraneous words
The reapers shall come to put an end to your fear.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The reapers shall come to end your fear.

Just look out for that, and I think it will help make the poem flow better and easier. Great work!

[Brian Angeles]

Thank you so much for your advice I will surely use it next time

[MoriartyMesa]

I liked this but I felt in some moments a bit of true pain and loss is needed in order to retain the over all theme.


Not knocking it, but part of me wants to know if your ached while writing.

[Brian Angeles]

Yes I have. I imagined all of the cruelty of tyranny, slavery, communism, dictatorship. All these things were act of pain and suffering. Whenever I need to think of a sad or bad moment I a story, a chapter or poem. I think of the saddest moments of my life or in historical times.
