The D. O. D. by *Ainohimitsu:iconAinohimitsu:



A laceration that bleeds
demons deep; an omen that
numbs a mind's faith; a thunder
that steals a dark, jagged edge
of existence:  i n f e c t i o n.

A cruel drought of sorrow's stone
that shrivels a soul's will; a
wind that hurls through levies of
regret; an ocean of hate
that raises death:  i n f e c t i o n.

A bind that shackles less-hearts
crying for naught; a vengeance
that deigns immortal conquest;
a cancerous fire that spreads
across the world:  i n f e c t i o n.

When will this cease?  This disease
that humanity lets reign;
this vile creature that rapes
it of its strength; this ugly,
viral mold of ignorance. . .

This i n f e c t i o n we call:  f  e  a  r.

Author's Comments

The D. O. D.: Definition of Disease is this piece's full title.

I dedicate this piece to a favourite lyrics writer of mine, Meiun-Hanashite. His works are a huge inspiration behind this poem's creation. It's about time I'm able to give him back something...for his masterful hands and mind. :)

Anyway, the one thing I wish to say in regards to this piece: To eradicate fear in ourselves is one step closer to a world where suffering will not reign.

Hmmm...I doubt I'll see that happen in my lifetime, if it ever happens at all. But that is the tender frailty of this human heart in me...this foolish hope that my fellow humans will wake up from their "constant haze of stupidity" [Hiei, Yuu Yuu Hakusho].

*Set to Raw Emotion's theme contagious.

Wow, definitely very strong, powerful, and dark. I can certainly see where the influence may come from heh. I really like the title, that stands out prominently. You give this style of writing an edge that's quite unique as well. Words I often struggle to find when writing my own songs.

when said aloud, it sounds really devious
i love how you've used the consistancy of the structure of the lines to create a fast paced piece which almost shows like it's infecting the next line.
or maybe i'm just revising for english too much.
(:
either way, i love it.
fav!

Hmm...I guess I was feeling devious when I wrote this...or more like disappointed yet again with the stupid humans around me. Who knows. But all my scorn bled itself into this thing...

And I love how you piece together your thoughts on my poem in such a way I never even thought it could sound. Thank you very much for stopping by and reading this and granting me the honor of your thoughts. :)

Revising for English? You speak a language other than English? That is awesome, if so.

I love languages...learning them and attempting to master them are my hobbies. I'm pretty decent when it comes to French and Spanish. And I got some basics down in Japanese and American Sign Language.

I love that language is so expressive of the culture that creates it. I can tell you what I feel about a culture just by hearing or being exposed to a language. And the longer I am exposed the more in depth analysis I can give. :)

No, it's wow that you would give me such a comment. :blush: Heh.

I don't know if it's a really a style, per se. It just kind of created itself.

I kind of feel like I should be pegged and murdered or something for feeling such condemnation of my fellow humans... I don't hate them. They just irritate the hell out of me sometimes...that they can be so stupid when they have the full capacity to use their brains...and their higher selves.

I'm, by no means, without guilt in this matter, but I try to utilize my higher self often enough not to give in to petty fears. Guess I'm a hypocrite...but whatever.

Eventually we'll learn one way or another. In tragedy or in transcendence. :shrug:

Ah yeah, I refer to it as a style, due to it's way of writing, and well the subject matter.

Yeah, unfortunately, that's a common side effect from this type of writing. Then again, if people weren't so foolish, there'd be no need to write these songs.

I love your poem... and with the way your poem ended I just had to add it to my favorites.
