And Now For a Poem

And now for a poem, about my dreams and my home

the decent people I let down amongst the 100 million clones

Life is lonely, love seems phony

when I was 12 I thought my first love would be my one and only

God used to be my everything and more

now he generalizes people, and causes reason for hate and war

Life is a divine circle... of all that is good, and all that is hurtful 

Some focus on the good.... others really should

Some are born negative.... they either learn to love, or die in hatred

Others are born good inherently, but eventually they become 

torn to shreds in this world of scary things

Some born good remain fighters 

at times they appear the most negative because they have endured the pain of 
fire

I believe a scarred warrior will arise from his ashes

the pain that nearly killed becomes what cures him of his sadness

and if the legend of the warrior proves to never be

I will fight the pain of existing until that warrior becomes me
