A poem by Lovely Videl
Based
on Akira Toriyama's "Dragonball Z" Written
on the bond of twin androids.
Eyes of fibreoptics,
Hair that will not grow,
Skin of metal alloys,
Blood of electric flow.
Infinite energy,
Intellectual design,
Rampaging onwards,
As two of a kind.
The light haired, the dark haired,
The girl and the boy,
The adventurous and conscientious,
The yang and the yin,
Argumentative yet inseparable,
Power in durable body and mind,
A pair of mechanical sibling kin,
Truly two of a kind.
The days to run by program,
To destroy and to conquer
Other days to act by will,
To shop or to coy.
Swiftness and agility,
Built directly into the limbs.
Immeasurable power,
Such an accessible thing,
Designed to think and to analyze,
To search and to find,
Together to lavish in success,
Just two of a kind.
But errors may arise,
A virus in the system,
that two alike must both share,
In all aspects and all ways.
For it has come after us
In these past few days,
Quite the scare:
A sense of morality
The risk of defeat,
A blowing strike to confidence,
A threat to existence.
Where panic and fear come to override,
Impacting decisions we must come to decide.
Life is no longer yet so bitter-sweet,
It comes to a time where ends might have to meet.
A time where separation just might have to occur,
With a once-certain future now left as unsure
Where the other is, one may never find,
How incredibly lonely to be abandoned as one of a kind.
So as sister and brother,
As a friend to a friend,
Together since production,
Right down to the rusting end,
Even as days go by and our models are replaced,
Even if thwarting enemies are to be thrusted to face,
No matter the arguments,
No matter what comes,
No matter what's prostethetic and what's real,
Let's make a pact,
And shake on it now,
to keep this strange bond together somehow,
It's something one can't explain but what one can only feel,
So let this be a pact that we will keep sealed.
For though we have hair that will not grow,
Skin of metal alloys,
Blood of electric flow.
With infinite energy,
And intellectual design,
But as precious moments are lived in our endless time,
Our strange hearts of love will come to bind,
Until we're always and forever,
Two of a kind.
Author's Notes:
I hope you liked my ninth anime poem so far ^^ Thanks for reading! And yes, I did disclude Android 16 in order to put more emphasis in 17 & 18's relationship. This could also be read in either 17 or 18's point of view, it's interchangeable! ^^ Thank you for your support!
