Against My Will

by skynerraw   May 1, 2007


Forced to fight
On this forsaken night
Forced to kill
Against my will
Innocent souls
For your sick goals
Blood oozing down my palm
As I fight to stay calm
Thousands of body's thrown in a heap
I'm finding it hard not to weep
Vultures circling over the head
Ready to feast on the dead
A massacre has just occurred
But not without good reason, you assured
But as I look at the bodies surrounding me
There is no reason that I can see
No reason for this blood fest
The blood fest I detest
Animals are ready to eat
Off of these bodies dead meat
The body closest to me
As far as I can see
Is no more than 12 years old
Forced to do as he was told
Even though I was forced to kill
Forced to kill against my will
I feel responsible for these bodies I see
Because they were all killed by me

    Wow this poem is amazing.. I loved it. I have nothing to critique on here just praise. It reminded me of those child soldiers in third world countries, forced to kill their enemies. Amazing job, I always feel bad for those kids becauase they dont have any choice in the matter yet its their hands that do the killing so its their minds that are going to be scared for life because of it not the government not their parents, theirs. Well done.

  • Good poem.
    The rhyming didn't seem forced and the flow was flawless.

    ...Hmm I'd say fix the rhyming because at times it seems a little forced and awkward. I like the imagery but it can be better expressed with...sharper pointed words. I do like the ending image. For some reason I'm thinking of a game scenario with the images, which works perfectly with this write.
