Tragedy

 

We're all just pawns

in this bittersweet tragedy.

A tragedy with blood for ink.

And pale skin for paper.

Played by the kids.

Who's lives are full of dread

Bloodstained dreams,

Unholy themes,

That drive them to madness.

A twisted hatred perplexing them

Shifting their rusted gears wrong

Playing the crows song, they are.

Their last breath, choking up blood

they whisper it out, like lies in the wind

Choked out by the frail screams

and washed away by the streams.

They slit there throats, and drain out to sea

there they flow with the tide, and sing with the sea.

These kids they wish, they wish for death

Most to there very, very last sorrow filled breath.

But they are just pawns, to this bloodthirsty lie

Who's author is unknown, into the blackened night

Whoever it is, whatever their name,

To them, it's all just a game.

This was awesome!! I never really get poetry and I usually dont try to read it but this was....just.... awesome! I cant think of another word lol. Perfect spelling and no errors that I picked up on. You are great at this kind of stuff and I hope to be able to read more.

I really like this poem! :) I really liked it.

[Michael.]

It was solid and didn't have any real holes.
The only thing I thought was kind of lame was trying rhyme sea with sea and lie with night.
And I liked how it was more of a rambling feeling for the first half and then a flow kicked in the second half.

So mindblowing

[PaperHearts]

Wow! What an intense write! I really liked the concept of this piece, and thought that your choice of words worked really effectively in capturing the dark, impactful tone of this poem. There were a few errors in terms of spelling here and there that I would go back and look at if I were you, but other than that, I thought that this was a really great write. Well-written,

It would be nice to know who them is. I think the game is really about money in the end. Your poem well paints a dark picture one with a lot of truth written into the words. We all are pawns in many ways it is just that some know it and some still do not.
