VILLAIN

The utmost villain of all time
Resides in our feeble minds
Now no one wants to accept this crime,
It's been so since Genesis's chime

The inferno in us,
waiting for an outburst.
Conundrums in our minds
Waiting for life's advise,
No specialist effort there.

In our hearts a Savage greed
Blinding our eyes to a brother's creed
Putting in chains all love forever freed

But to put all matters to rest
Nay definitely not not one mere villain
But villains, each of them occupying a place in our rotten hearts, making it ripe for the taking.

Hello everyone, it's another hectic Monday here in Africa, but gladly the first rain of the year fell, so it wasn't as hot as usual. This isn't a game review but a poem.

Nowadays I kinda fancy poetry than game reviews, but I'm gonna try to make at least one game review this week, so stay tuned folks.


DIVING DEEP

This is just like the normal poems I've been writing, so I'll need to explain it stanza by stanza.

Stanza 2

The utmost villain of all time
Resides in our feeble minds
Now no one wants to accept this crime,
It's been so since Genesis's chime

You know how every human has a bad side, well that's what this stanza's about, and characters or a character can make a meek normal person, become the villain.


Stanza 2

The inferno in us,
waiting for an outburst.
Conundrums in our minds
Waiting for life's advise,
No specialist effort there.

Now one of those characters that makes one a villain is anger. Which when stretched to the limit makes one do unbelievable and unimaginable things, which also leads to confusing on how and mostly why after the deed is done.


Stanza 3

In our hearts a Savage greed
Blinding our eyes to a brother's creed
Putting in chains all love forever freed

Now the worst of them all, greed. This is the main creator of villain. This feature is in all humans and takes very much of concentration and zeal to cast out of the heart.

So a man with greed has no good deed.


Stanza 4

But to put all matters to rest
Nay definitely not not one mere villain
But villains, each of them occupying a place in our rotten hearts, making it ripe for the taking.

Now I said one villain but now I know I'm wrong they're a lot of demons that make one a villain, not just one but a lot.

Great Poem and personification of emotion @ehisoria!
I'm finding that everyone has equal parts good and evil, light/ dark, Yang/Yin in their spirit. As such it's equally important to acknowledge both sides of ourselves. I find it increasingly difficult to come to terms w/ this dark side, and trying to suppress these demons/villains only riles them up. Does anyone else experience this?
The explanation def. clears things up and is perfectly clear & concise. Thank you for your beautiful insight, looking forward to more poetry from your flowery mind!

Thanks for understanding. Also for the comment, it's hard to see that around here nowadays.
