Author's Note: Well, since I like writing poems a bit more than actual stories, I thought I'd give this a shot. This isn't really going to be focused on one character in particular, mainly because a little diversity never killed anyone. And, a bunch of poems all about the Elric brothers or Roy Mustang would get boring after a while, I think. Some of these probably won't be about anyone at all. Just letting you guys know all that before you get the wrong idea :)

I was just a blob in a flask.
Freedom was at my grasp,
And I took it.
He was young. He was ignorant.
How was he to know that I would become
the immortal one?
It was so perfect, the timing and all.
We set out for Xerxes. It was hard
to contain myself. The slave
was to meet his back with a knife.
I made the transmutation
for
endless power... endless life...
He cast me away.
I went off on my own.
A new, human form that I
could call home.
I expelled the sins from
my flawed container.
My children built tunnels,
killed humans at all my commands and
the slave found a wife,
as I waited and watched-
endless power... endless life...
But then the Elrics came
to disturb my long
plotted schemes to
become the most powerful
being ever to be seen.
They clashed with Lust, Gluttony,
Greed and Wrath; Envy, Sloth, and Pride
coming last. Those two
fought through my sins
squirming through every
gap.
Then finally the day that
was Promised had come,
I was surrounded
by those humans. What vermin! What scum!
They thought they could kill me
with their fire and guns
but alas, I was too powerful
their entire strife
was useless against my
endless power... endless life...
However, the fight came
to a bitter end. That
Edward Elric had done it
again. Greed turned against me,
helping Fullmetal along.
My body was torn up!
Done all kinds of wrong!
And then I was
sent back to hell, the Truth, the one
I had feared since my earliest
youth. I pleaded, I tried,
but was sent back inside.
Now there are
times where I can't help
but contemplate-
What I really paid
for
endless power... endless life...
