I wrote a fucking poem. Holy crap. LJ doesn't ever have these on it.
Pandemic
Infected with it, all become ill
The only remedy is to consummate with the candidate
It is something for which men will kill
Internal wars flourish sanguine in such a state.
It invades from somewhere beyond everything
Uninvited, but welcome, it drives so many
For the strings bathed in blood they will sing
And for it give they their last penny
It leaves a chasm in its wake
Like the moon on a moonless eve
A bit of the soul it will take
And into the universe weave
Intertwined to another consciousness
Akin to the endless ocean of suns
We watch and witness our helplessness
Subdued with its enlivening poisons
Like dolls of the puppetmaster
All dance to the endless tune
Once swept into its wonderful disaster
We can not escape it un-bestrewn
It binds it rends
And to it we give all
For it never ends
Even after our last fall.
