An Orc's day dream

An Orc's day dream

A Poem by KeeD
"

Feel bad for the little guy

"
Body pale green 
tinted with black
Palms like muddy terrain
Bruised back

Just a simple peon
Serving King Kel'thu'zhad
Work or be extinguished 
Slave to the coal mines

Mining pick my companion
Orc'ish speak it not'
Not a single friend
For Kel'thu'zhad make it their end

I'm lonely and tired, there's
No love in the life of an Orc
Just work, work, work
Around the clock

If I ever escaped
I'd like to travel the land
Maybe become a minstrel
Join the musical caravan 

I'd like to fall in love
With a human girl
Protect her and 
Provide her the world

Who am I kidding
I'm just an Orc
Even dreaming such dreams
Results in my head chopped off

Oh but the thought
Of a milk maid by my side
Living in a barn 
Creating new life 

"As a whip hits my back" - GET BACK TO WORK SLAVE 

I must dream no more
Slack shall I not
Mine for lord Kel'thu'zhad
Be gone useless thoughts

A tear rolls down 
My pale green skin
Dries up along the cracks
I'm just an Orc, as I fade to black.

Love it so much. I have a ring that I wear on a chain the only prob is it's silver instead of gold.

This is mad cool. I wish I could be more descriptive and sophisticated but honestly they were the first words that came to mind.

I happen to love this review :) Just saying :) thank you !
I've always kinda wondered about that too. If it's possible for men and dwarves, and sometimes even the elves, to become corrupted, then is it possible for an orc to be, at his heart, a good man . . . I mean a good orc? Curious curiosity. R.A. Salvatore explored that theme really well with Drizzt.

Witchcraft and mystical creatures, you do them so well! It's a magical read, full of emotional impact...it's like the POW in your face, take that, slay this dragon kind of poetry. It has impact, and a mystical quality about it, sad ending...
