    Default Men of Science, Men of Virtue, Men of Faith

    Meh, I've dreamed to become a writer/poet. Now, here's my fist poem on this site.

    Men of Science, Men of Virtue, Men of Faith

    There is so little guise between
    The poets, prophets and scientific men,
    That instruments have rarely been
    Available to measure there
    When mortal souls met man to man
    With gods.

    Those great creatures, higher-ups,
    Never seem to have any truck
    With men who want to analyse
    And take their measurements,
    And quiz them on their sentiment
    Of things that sometimes seem
    Irrelevant.

    The spiritualists and poets can’t be blamed;
    They can’t control these sorts of things.
    A man can only testify of what he knows:
    That only moments or hours ago
    There were astounding creatures
    Flying everywhere.

    “Yes, I know they’re not here now.
    No, I can’t explain it. It’s just amazing how
    Some things can always find a way to leave.
    My cousin also came by today,
    Or maybe it was just a plague
    Upon my mind. I have been breathing
    Lightly lately.”

    Those pernicious gods are always
    Making fools of mortal men.
    And how they should be pitied, those
    Who are gifted with the second sense
    Of ear as well as eye:

    Always hearing echoes in another realm,
    The sounds of mocking laughter
    Flowing steadily up and down.
    Unless their hearing was acute,
    There could be some misdirection.

    Who is mocking whom?
    You know, if you keep reading, you'll go broke.

    Books contain knowledge; knowledge is power; power corrupts; corruption is a crime, and crime doesn't pay.

    Wow this is actually really good. We've read a fair field of poems in my school. You have some mad potential =].

    Yeah he did. I checked it out first too before I complimented him lol. I mean it's not perfect, but it shows some really good potential.
