Rayne's Signiture

[maeve]

Quoting Rayne’s Signature:

And I'm not the only one who thinks we're trying to say

To the heavens and all who hear us: behold all we have made!

We bring destruction, we bring war without an end

And we live in hope that tomorrow never comes.

After reading this I just had to post this poem I wrote back in March. I have it posted on my blog, but I thought I’d share here since it kinda hit home to me.

Genesis

And God said Let the earth reign

And mankind grew to hatred, bitterness, and lust

And God said Let Heaven reign

And mankind killed one another

In the name of the righteous

And God said What is this form that I have created

And mankind answered, We are void, from the void we came

And to the void we will return

And God said Why have I created this form

And mankind said To give us domination over all things

And God said Why have I created this Heaven

And mankind said So that you have a place to hide from mankind

And God said What will you do with this domain

And mankind answered We will destroy all that is precious to us,

All that will give our lives meaning and purpose

And God said Why did I not destroy this creation wholly

And mankind said Because we are God and we would not

Let you do so

And God said I will abandon this earth to its own destruction

And mankind reveled in its glory

And God retreated to his Heaven and hid there for all eternity

And mankind said This is good we are free

And mankind found fear in death and so recreated God

In mankind’s own image

And mankind’s God said I will destroy

All that mankind has befouled

And mankind’s God destroyed his own image

And mankind said Why can’t we touch God

And God said Because what you have created is false

And mankind said Is it too late

And God said mankind has chosen its own course

Therefore the answer can only be found in mankind

And Mankind said We care not to think on it any longer.

Thanks. I can't take credit for my signature though.

It's the chorus from VNV Nation's "Testament".

The signiture just made me think of the poem. Perhaps "Testament" was strolling around in my brain somewhere when I wrote the poem. I just remember feeling rather negative that day. Who knows? Just thought I'd share.
