A Bundle of Ethereal Poetry

~An Unholy Mind~

I have no control over my actions,
The Monster inside directs me;
My mind no longer feels emotions,
It is only the bad in the world that I see;

I have countless fatal attractions,
To carnage, war and Death;
The pain of my addictions,
-Weigh down on me; I fret;

People think I am a malediction,
An evil soul that does not belong here;
I wish they could see me as I am- a fruit of their actions,
Worldly punishment I have ceased to fear;

Our people are divided into factions,
That our people have painstakingly made;
For one almighty, so many names,
The road to our destruction has been paved;

For one species, so many divisions,
Oh, how am I to keep track of it all?
Useless hierarchies in every region,
With each person interpreting a different God's call;

What would you do if I told you all the legends were true?
How then would your world change for you?
What would you do if I showed you it was all a game?
Orchestrated by a few for name and fame?

I beg of you just one thing,
To be moderate in your belief;
With every religion fighting to be the ultimate king,
The world can never sigh in relief;

I have seen non-deserving twits,
Rise to power because of their name;
I witnessed those of noble heart and good wits,
Shunned and discarded because their past was lame;

In this world, Words have more importance than Actions,
Life is anything but fair;
For each sect hundreds of sub- divisions,
But about your status God does not care;

I am disturbed by trauma and a past of horrors,
Thousands of rituals I do not comprehend;
Fake people adorned by fake laurels-
Enrage me and I feel like I should fend-
For all those helpless and myself that live after the bend,
In the wealthy road that separates us from them;

I've no control over my actions,
The monster inside directs me;
I no longer feel emotions,
This monster is exactly what you made me to be.
