Doomsday Machine Schematic

[SadistAtHeart]

They say ghosts are not real, but what I've seen begs to differ.
They've come from beyond death tormented by their past lives.
Shadows, remnants of time, they collapse all around him.
Coming for their vengence they've come to claim another.
Knucles deep inside his eye sockets, knees scrape his throat like the screams of a miscarriage.
He becomes him, he ages 200 years.
Blood runs cold, bursts out his empty eyes.
Life taken by violence, a bullet to the head.
As the smoke settles his body hits the floor.
Forcing his mind to live his life, to die his death, to host his soul.
Open your eyes. Say something.

[Zazikerng]

I stand on the edge of my life, lonely
Gazing into the dark mists of my soul's mirror
The rain is my fellow of saddity
I am so lonely, oh woe ;_\\

Doomsday isn't emo, it's grind

[Rambo_6]

My father gets quite mad at me;
my mother gets upset—
when they catch me watching
our new television set.
My father yells, "Turn that thing off!"
Mom says, "It’s time to study."
I’d rather watch my favorite TV show
with my best buddy.

I sneak down after homework
and turn the set on low.
But when she sees me watching it,
my mother yells out, "No!"

The Story Behind the Poem:
My mother had strict rules about watching TV. We only could watch a few shows a week. My mother didn’t want me getting home from school and then sitting down and vegging out in front of the TV. She wanted me to go outside and play with friends, do my homework, read a book—just about anything but mindless TV watching. Of course, when she wasn’t home my brothers and I would sometimes engage in some mindless TV watching—but as soon as we heard Mom’s car in the driveway, we’d switch off the TV and run out into the back yard to play.
