Hey! I'm back with another poem! It's been awhile since I've written one. I know I'm supposed to be working on the next chapter of Abunai Unmei, but it'll be out very soon. This poem is about the psyche of the saiyan mind; about the two voices a full-blooded saiyan must fight everyday. I hope you enjoy it. If I get good reviews, I'll probably be submitting this to the 2003 Sennenki Contest. Enjoy!

Two Voices
The mid-night dark clouds overshadow the moon
The wind shakes the trees and makes the grass tremble
In the dead of the night, a saiyan lies in his bed
His two voices he's struggling to fight
"You love it here on this planet
Something you can finally call home,
You love your wife and your family,
You'll never again be alone."
A smile forms on your pink, pale lips
Happiness settles into your mind
Suddenly, a second voice screams in your head
It's a voice that leaves a dent in your pride
"Kill them when you have the chance
Continue your proud bloodline
Destroy this mud ball of a planet
Go on, and stop wasting time!"
Your wounds peel back and are raw and throbbing
You clench your head in pain
When will these voices stop arguing?
They're driving you insane!
"Don't listen to that other voice
You love the harmony and peace
The other voice is in the past
Don't pay attention to it in the least."
"You're a weakling and a coward!
If you listen to what that other voice will say
Go on a killing spree and rule the universe
Stop this nonsense today!"
The haunting voices scream with agony
As you don't know which side to pick
One day you'll find you only have once voice
But you better make that decision quick
The lust and challenge of a battle
Blood shed is what you live for
Your family and friends and peace
Is just something you care for more
Your body stiffens quickly
As you realize these voices will never stop
They're apart of your fate now
Whether you fall or make it to the top
Funny how the strongest warrior in the universe
Is subdued by inanimate objects
The two objects that control your very life
Your two voices
