Hey everyone: this is the third "chapter" so to speak, in the Chrono Cross Anthology of Poetry. I plan to write a poem for each playable character in CC, so this will be long. Just bear with me, I'll make them good |*(^_^)*| NOTE: Not all the poems are necessarily meant to rhyme.
This poem is Razzly's. It is a poem to her sister Rosetta. It is about racism and hatred. She is defending Serge and his party.
All Around Me
I see greif
All around me
The sadness that lyes
Between life and death
I see hatred and no compassion
It passes by so quick
I jus can't catch my breath
And I move in swirls
And light my present location
But it's so dark
I can't see infront of me
And I don't know
my ultimate destination
but how it will end
will not be up to me
How can you see me
with that concrete mask
covering your eyes
It sometimes scares me to think
that I can be like you
But it struck me quick as lightning
so suddenly...
the virtual reality is now coming true
And I can't paint the color
out of this place
And I cannot pretend not to hear you
One can make fun
of all the deficiencies
in the Human Race
And still not realize
that they're human too
And I move in swirls
And light my present location
But it's so dark
I can't see infront of me
And I don't know my
ultimate destination
but how it will end
will not be up to me
You sit around
and let this ignorance eat at you
I'm watching you wither
under its weight
I've tried, though unsuccessfully
to save you from this blind spot of hate
Distrust will be our unwinding
It weakens our bridge to peace and hope
You may find that I'm whining
but racism and prejudice are no joke
And I move in swirls
And light my present location
But it's so dark
I can't see infront of me
And I don't know my
ultimate destination
but how it will end
will not be up to me...
If only you
could open your eyes
and see your neighbors
as equals too
then I can say,
most joyously
"The light within me
salutes the light with in you"
