Sam-the war childA Poem by isiah_holmes
I sat in chairs of clarity today
Peering deep at my good friend, the war child He watches as humans interact, laugh He anticipates conversation, though he feels nothing for the topic Nothing really means much to him in fact That's what I saw, clarity chairs in which I sat He is no stranger, and he is not sick Quickly he imitates your smile, he's trying, I can tell I can see he is trying, though I don't know if he cares I don't think he really cares I know my friend, perhaps better than I would like Beings like him are masters at disguise They calculate, always watching They lurk in the night, they don't really need blissful sleep They prefer to hunt men and their offspring in distant lands They do nothing other than what they please Under the boots of the generals men, slaves to the king-vulture They are what happens when you put a beast in a suit Never put a beast in a suit-kind and straight They can so it well-as my friend dose Look! Look! The war child is flying away!! He lands...he.. He's friendly in his face Empty in his eyes! The phinoex he believes Nothing's where he stops by Watch! Slurping drinks made of monkey brains! Robbing chests made of sugar cane! Children laugh at the cheerful martyr! For he has known his daughter Searching the devil for something to barter Dancing happy, fire starter! Searching for family ties to maim! Nothing shall remain the same! Under his infinite watch, he never blinks © 2014 isiah_holmes |
