From the System of a Down's Self-Titled Debut CD booklet, as a prologue to the song War? :

"We first fought the heathens in the name of religion, then Communism, and now in the name of drugs and terrorism. Our excuses for global domination always change."

As with most of my poems, this one has no theme. Just written when I'm in the mood or thoughts come to mind. The quote is just something I try to add when I feel that something needs to be addressed. Today was a day for me to hate the world.

And you all have a great day.

Spoiler:


Entourage

This night full of demons with kerosene hatchets
The paparazzi with copper baseball bats
Vampires with lithium combat swords
Get them out of here.

Tonight is my night.

I’ll play my cards however the hell I feel
And maybe I’ll take off a few heads
And lock the kids in the basement
Until I have my fill.

The world is in the palm of my hand.

And when the sun comes up
I’ll stay out
And when the sun goes down
I won’t be around anymore.

And it all turns against me.

For what I did couldn’t be undone
For what I said couldn’t be taken back
For what I comprehended – too late
Take me to the cemetery.

For I’ll live there for an eternity.

It has a very mysterious and ominous tone it. Towards the middle I felt like the speaker felt empowered, yet cocky, and at the end they lose it all.

And I'll have to disagree with you when you there's no theme; all poetry has a theme. I thought the theme of this could be change or even loss, but their certainly is a theme.

Very well done, though. I'm usually really nitpicky when it comes to poetry and prose, but I really liked this
