This is just some poems I've had to write for English assignments, the assignment being to write a poem with the same theme as a poem we were supposed to read.


From "When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer"

The pews fill up with empty faces
Listless, staring into the forward black abyss
the void where once stood hope,
Logic, freedom

Their word corrupted, propagated falsely, torn to shreds
In the hands of fools
Behind a veil they operate, spreading their manufactured messages among the populace
The flock being tend to, sheep in calm sleep

Lies left loose, undetected
An organic rhythm interrupted by inevitability
A few simple words twisted into something;
Something different from original intentions
Evils blacker than the suns
But what of hidden light?

A short few sparks; in futility
Attempting to start a fire
Watch the knowledge spread, hatred leave
Malicious grins turned

Beliefs criticized, analyzed, ripped limb from lib
By what they called light
Oh, the terrible majority
Leaving wrath and discord in their wake

Naught but death teaches such grave lessons
Fractal ignorance, exponential
Lies hidden in divine findings
Incognito, blinded to what little truth remains

Power dwells within all
Some too foolish to use it
Some too quick to harness it
Still others who bring light

Suicide and redemption, two words unknown to those who would remain so closed
Their correlation obvious, if only you are to look
Imitation, reclamation, institution, a final solution
Empty hearts in empty places

Systemic annihilation, each word bringing only more confusion
More to interpret, inherit
More to blunder with idle hands
For it has been said what work they do

Twin divinity, purported as heinous traitors
Those who refused to follow the dictatorial doctrine
Reaping the grain of their choice
What is better left unspoken

Solace, serenity, anything to be had
From our pretentious conclusion
Obtuse, over-corrected, left dissected
Abandoned in lieu of an ancient institution



Witches in Las Vegas

Smoke filtered through blackened lungs
Infectious laughter runs through the air
Some left gibbering, speaking in tongues
All throughout this sinful lair

I watch in silence, it eats away at me
As I see these substances rule their lives
I want to save them, help them to flee
To run away from this slow demise

A change of pace, a brand-new setting
Money exchanged, dreams crushed and made
An outburst of emotion, quite upsetting
On the faces of both the failed and paid

Another place, more shady this time
Still money is made, but for another reason
A house filled with sex and with crime
A corrupted place, a hotbed of treason

Sex, drugs, and money are the powers that be
Here, where the godless and damned make their stand
But yet it is a different power that leads me
Split deity offering a peaceful hand


From "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening"

Through a dark forest we travel
Seeking the Night
Seeking the light

Sanity begins to unravel
Caught in the blight
All is so bright

We are blind to see what's before us
Stuck in this dream
Nothing is seen

Though the lost spaces adore us
Pull back the screen
Let out a scream






I'll put up the rest later; I made one that was five pages long and I'm too lazy to type it right now. >.<
