Rotten's Book of Poems - *New Poem - 07-10-2008*

[[FnG] Lert]

Emu spreekt wijze woorden.

Keer op keer.

Ik kan het er maar niet mee worden ..

Hij is een wijze heer.




<Edit> I'd translate it to english, but it'd lose it's charm. Ask Emu, he has a way with words. And shock combo's.

[[FnG] LcNessie]

The Emu speaks the wisest words
Time on time on time
I can't wrap my head around it
He is a wiseguy sublime

Something like that, Lert?

Cheers

With you I raise my glass
We drink to our health.
With you I would drink poison
To luck, to love, to life itself.
With you I mock the world,
Laugh away our worries.
With you I raise my glass,
Cheers mate, be at peace

[UnKnown X]

Nice poem!


I think it'd sound better if it were "To luck, to love, to life itself", without the "and". Other than that, it's great! You're good at this!

Christmas

Christmas comes but once a year
To bring us all mirth and cheer
But dont forget about the loving one
Jesus Christ Gods only son
A time for family and for fun
Yet stil time for UT and your trusty Flak Gun

A simple poem from me (ive done batter ask SABR if you dont believe me)

A simple poem from me (ive done batter ask SABR if you dont believe me)

Hey man, this is Rotten's book... Perhaps you should've asked him first? (forgive me if you already have )

Oh, btw, the batter didn't taste too nice

[[FnG] Jules]

Rotten your poems are good and this was inspired by yours

[[FnG] Leech]

Emu I now how good you are with poems and could you pm me some soon

your good really I think the time is right for you to send some of them to a specialist so he can give his opinion about it

[[FnG] Rotten_Emu]

Almost two years of absence... not that I didn't write anything in that time I just didn't think it was worth posting here... but now I'm back and... frankly... I should get more active again...

Like I told you guys on TeamSpeak I wrote a poem before going to bed, because it was roaming in my head ever since I was free So this is it!

===============================================

To Live Forever

None of us should live forever
None of us should die this young
I never thought I'd make a Hundred
And now I did it feels so wrong
The memory would last forever
What of the times, that never came?

All are waiting for a golden age
That golden age, we never saw
Always one last thing to do
Always one last thing forgotten

And memories would last forever,
But what of the times that never came?
And some of us will last forever
But others, they won't last a day

None of us should live forever
None of us should die this young
I never thought I'd make a hundred
And now I did it feels so wrong
The memory would last forever
But what of those that never come?

When we start this life anew
We all knew it'd never end
Always one last thing to do
Always one more thing forgotten

===============================================

As always, suggestions, comments, feedback, etc is greatly appreciated!

Of God and Sins

So is this it then, this is all you have in store for me?
Will you not decent this time, will you not set me free?
You no longer listen do you, you’re deaf to my plea…
Then again, Who can blame you… it’s all just misery

Now is the time you should have faith my son,
You can repent after all that you’ve done
Just listen to my words and your sins will be gone
You still have time for life is still quite long

So you’re God now, aren’t you… then tell me this
How come that if I open my eyes it’s just air I kiss?
And if you are so righteous then why do we kill,
Don’t even dare to give me that crap of free will.

You might not like the answer but it will remain,
I have created the people and made most sane
I gave them a brain and heart, and the will you say
Yes you kill, crosses in hand, but it’s not in my name

Then tell me, God, why don’t you do something?!
Anything?! Even if it was only a small thing?
We need a God right now, Lord, we need your might
Give us a sign God, prove them that they are right!

I cannot do as you wish, my son, I tried and failed before
I send in my only son and they punished him for the truth
I can’t send you a miracle cause people wouldn’t believe
They are past miracles, my son, most of them are past Me.

But you’re God right, why don’t you just fix it,
make everything right?

I made you in my image, so you see,
I can’t fix you without fixing me…

I'm astounded. Such a great poem accompanying your poem comeback. Well done! Ich liebe es!

[[FnG] Rotten_Emu]

Thanks for that positive comment, i/o It's really appreciated. And a new poem for all my fans :P

=========================================================

Turn the Tide

It's not quite the way we want it to be
And we see things we don't want to see
but what do we do, but stand and wait
You feel like running but it seems too late.

We cannot flee from destiny
we cannot hide from what will be
but we keep running nonetheless
No clue where but no-one has.

Away from here, away from this
away from the love I want to kiss
away from death and life anew
away from all we did and do

people say it's never too late
to forgive the people that you hate
but we still kill and we still fight
and wait for others to turn the tide

One Man

Some say one voice cannot be heard
I say too many voices turn to noise
Some say that all men are equal
I say I'm unique, like everybody else
Some say one man can't make the difference
I say one man can change the world.

[[FnG] Rotten_Emu]

What is this?

And if this is a dream then please let me sleep
And if this is a drug then shoot me right up
And if I'm falling in love then let me fall deep
And if this isn't real I don't want to know
And if this is a lie I don't want the truth
And if you are the cause then don't let me go!
