Resolve Against Foolishness
Northern lights and fireworks
Early memories I never made
Fur rendezvous, winter’s snow
Memories that I wish wouldn’t fade.
-
Countries diverse, lively, free
Places that I’ve never seen
Secret restaurants and bars
Bands, artists, near and far
-
Paintings, sculptures, books and toys
Gorgeous operas, subway noise
Murals, mosaics and dreams
This world has so many things
-
Art that’s yet to be created
Songs yet to be orchestrated
Plans for glory, plans for joy
Cheering sick girls and boys
-
Winter dark and summer sun
How strange it is for everyone
The wildlife on your front door
Nature demanded much
I hate you
I wish I were dead
-
I'm hungry.
I've never wanted to drink.
I don't write.
I'm better than this.
I'll miss you.
I enjoyed high school.
I have faith.
I'm not racist.
I'm not sexist.
I'm not homophobic.
I'm not biased against any religions.
I don't believe in God.
I believe in God.
I believe you.
I don't care about the drugs you're on.
I'd cross the country to save you.
I'd drive hours to save you.
I'd lift a finger to save you.
I like your music.
I respect you.
I've got your back.
I never want to see you again.
-
I'm glad I'm still alive
I love you
This Generation's Decision by Owari999, literature

This Generation's Decision
Take a bow and take a stand since we are not what we had planned
We were told to only dream and we would have our everything
But dreams have faded with our youth and we're the slaves of fastfood booths
So do we stand to tear it down and destroy every gilden crown
Or are we left alone to fade for bitterness to hold our days?
Happiness was just a thing that sold us papers and diamond rings
The icons we grew up adored are hollowed, emptied by de jure
They dealt us broken future lands and make us pay retirement plans
Are we to be the slaves of yore to serve the childer of wealth before?
Can we not still deny the fate that keeps our debt at endle
I never saw the sea
as a friend in chivalry
Or a dreamy place to be
Or a place to visit free
-
The ocean is, to me
The one true tyranny
For the land bows to our might
But the ocean's not our right
-
The sea is vast and fast and wide
And not a thing to be denied
It cares not for the lives of men
We treat it as an eggless hen
-
But one day the swells will rise
And men will reach a grim demise
For daring to think they restrained
That which will rise and kill and maim
Does that heart pump fear and hate?
Can you still show them all you're brave?
Are you a wounded fighter, then?
Or a leaking broken tin?
Use a metaphor like that rapper you dig
But top-tier wordplay doesn't make you big
Not like people care, it's something else
Timing? Luck? What puts platinums on a shelf?
Maybe you should take a nap, leave that for someone else
blood guts bile pain
cough it up and go insane
viruses ain't shit they say
pray that it will go away
blood guts bile pain
knocked out the entire day
cough it up and hide again
they can't catch you kid
fading Fire, creeping Dark
Good is stained by Evil's mark
A curse that courses through a land
Where mindlessness is what fate's planned
-
And though we mourn the cycle's end
We should not lie or else pretend
That end is bad, or should not be
For light will return naturally
-
The journey is what mattered most
We can yet see past splendor's ghost
Is fifty years of rank despair
Worth seven hundred of laughter?
What heart pumps blades through twisted glades
To purge and burn and cut the haze
To kidnap, pillage, and destroy
To raze and plunder there as Troy?
What heart was hailed as a hero
Fought and killed after the war
Dueled and dared and killed and maimed
And was thus president named?
They call him a great man
But was he?
I remember the games used cameras to see
What face it should make to look like me
And I still wonder if they had made one of you
If it could ever look so dull or so blue
