Summary: Just a bunch of random poems on the Akatsuki. Ninth Akatsuki up, Zetsu!!!
Zetsu the Good Sons
One with the earth and one with themselves,
the connection between the earth's creations.
Neither that of the soil or of the land or the air,
Zetsu's eyes watch on with few expectations.
That is what one would think at first glance,
as they watch the beginnings of life take root.
The sprouting of small blossoms on their arms,
at the thriving of wild grasses under each boot.
His hands touch the hardened soil and he frowns,
because he knows that the earth about him cries.
She shall forever scream out into his weary ears,
and he will silently watch her as she slowly dies.
The earth it dying,
the earth is crying,
and she is calling out his name.
All Zetsu can do is merge into the safety of her womb,
and caress her with a tender finger and a tender heart.
His poor mother,
his poor souls,
as the earth cries out to her sons.
She cries for deliverance.
It is in this that he will never be one with the people,
the ones who so destroy the mother of all their existences.
Though he will never put a stop to his mother's suffering,
for in the shadow of man's creations,
the mother can put up little resistance.
But Zetsu is alive in the cold world known as earth,
where the forests stand tall and the grasses sway in the breeze.
The mother is forgiving to her children, for she loves them all,
even as blood spills from her heart and she is forced to her knees.
She will keep the trees tall and the grasses lush and green,
the fruits sweet as honey and the cool mountain air fresh.
She will allow the sun to kiss lovingly at her aching body,
for that is what shall warm her children's softly flesh.
And as the mother begins to sway in her love,
and the once vast forests begin to die.
Zetsu will watch in expressionless indifference.
and with a lonely all knowing eye.
He has heard the crying of their mother for many years,
the screaming that has never once been heeded.
They accept her anger as her rage seeps into the core of her soul,
and she then takes all that was needed.
But that day has yet to come,
for there is so much to be done.
So Zetsu will return to the mother to caress her bleeding heart,
until her love is forever none,
for they are the good sons.
