Prophecy of The Raven(first serious poem)
I wrote this about a month ago in about 20 Minutes when I was bored in class. I have considered using this for scholarship competitions so have checked for plagiarism and all so thought I'd share my terrible writing, so here goes:
Prophecy of the Raven Thump, thump, thump, thump Hearts beat to the tremble of a lost mind To foster the waves of phantom fullness O’ what a lie, caught up in the madness Of a long lost chaos, a liberty oh so far From what we once called the inner home of freedom I start to watch the raven so eerily sitting on the tree, out of real curiosity Of the dark prophecy He proclaims so clearly, quote of His darkness “Ye shall fall, ye shall bow, ye shall hear the three night owls” The owls He speaks of are a fright to me, as I see so clearly now what He Has seen all along, we are in the dark and are caught in an eternal pillory pending our heed Fear, anguish, the agony of uncertainty Hail! Hail the raven for His prophetic warning As we are a lost people, searching in the dark for the light of peace One who went dim many a score ago One which is buried under the withheld mercy from our higher power Mercy of which He knows of, but not of Mercy of which He sees, but He is blind Mercy of which He holds, but cannot pour out on this land For we are in an abyss the raven warned of, we fell in and bowed To a power below the world, and to it, we vowed “To ye, we surrender, one and us all, to no higher power can we still call, For ye is the author, of our saving grace, we betray thy prophet, we bring the end of days” The darkness heard, and for days we sat in a dark winter Screaming for our salvation to the deity we thought was high, Yet He trembles upon hearing this As He fears our knowledge, lest we discover His true intentions, bellowing like a dark noise Falling down upon us in the night, As a curtain, iron and heavy we o’ so fear thy might Hail! Hail the aura of what we once knew The aura of a messiah we once held dear Whom now fears the rennaissance of learning Whom fears the candle in the night Whom is in awe of the truth that He knows not of For He is oh so deeply veiled in His iniquity Of heresy, never ending lies Of delusion, of dubiety I turn to my thoughts, oh could I be astray? Has this prophet led me to paradise Or to only disarray? I weep I weep for all of our kingdom, shrouded in doubt Due to one conceited savior, all consumed In His own false shouts Do we know the truth Or is chicancery about? Do we know the light Or is darkness all we tout? Here and now in this turmoil, we are trapped As if in a raging tornado A vortex of never ending fear A fear of our coming doom Our coming descent into a dark purgatory Opened by the illusion of light, In the darkness of a false messiah I see the vision in this moment, my heart races For it is now I know, the end is nigh The raven, most high, proclaims “Ye betrayed me thrice, ye conceited serpent, for now I shall deliver you to your fire of destiny” I shake in concern at His prophecy, knowing his error but not His way Knowing His voice but not his mind Who am I to discern His word? Who am I to discern When as a disciple of the true God I still fell to thy stroke of the raven’s darkness Was bound by the chains of His apocalyptic decree But now I break Now! I call Now! I pray Now! I know The truth of my world Of the true Him, Jesus Our savior, our true Messiah of this broken kingdom Of ancient seas, of bleak caves For now He comes, us all He shall save I see the raven, I have heard his cries But His eery prophecy I hereby, deny. |
