Destiny Poems

Hey all, just joined the group. Figured I'd share some Destiny themed poems that I've written over the past month. Please feel free to post some of your own too. [i] [b]Dead Orbit: From the Prophecies of Arach Jalaal [/b][/i] The City is dead. But yet a means to a beginning. The others squander, With attempts at resurrection, Or petty secrets. But we are Astro-Mercenaries. We see a purpose in the Death. A light in the Darkness. We deny Ourselves passage On the back of a decrepit God; Cowering in the remnants of its dying light. We take hold of Our own destiny.

Well, I’ve told the Lie, But I’ve also felt the wrath of its truth; Spewing forth from its malevolent void. And this… And this I know for sure: The truth of the Lie Tis a Demon. [i][b]New Monarchy: A Testimony [/b][/i] As a child I remember reading one day The ancient poem: “Nothing Gold Can Stay” And I reminisce of those history pages; In the glories of our Golden Ages. Well that was then, and this now, Or so the Cryptarchs preach. Their knowledge like a sacred cow Revered, yet out of reach. But there is a voice Of genuine passion, that beckons to us all. Bestowing Guardians a new choice An answer to their call: Together the City will unite Both Guardians young and old To salvage, support, and to fight Our tenets; true and bold. So cast out the fear and the doubt Caused by the Dark anarchy And put your faith in the Light redoubt Formed by New Monarchy. [i][b]Corrective Measure[/b][/i] For the heinous faults that plague us all, There is but one redemption. It’s found beneath the hallowed halls Of Time’s lost dimensions. A keeper of sorts holds the key To this a lethal treasure. For Death has but many names, This one’s Corrective Measure
