The prompt list for these (if anyone in this beyond-dead fandom is interested) is on my tumblr, which has the same penname as I do on here. Sue me. I'm a simple soul. Enjoy and whatnot. This is actually a poem I did for a creative writing class in high school. Neat, huh? Boy can I recycle.

It's not me
It's not mine
I am not the one who ordered this.
Your suffering is inflicted in my name
But I promise, I promise,
I promise I have never wanted this.
I have watched over you all your life
And the lives of all those around you
And you are all very precious to me.
Oh thou pitiful human who hast strayed,
What doth thou wish from this world?
Is it forgiveness?
I forgive thee, I forgive thee.
It is your forgiveness that I seek.
I am a powerless god, incapable of doing anything but watching,
Observing from a forced, agonizing distance.
For long enough to tilt a man on the verge of madness
I have watched unspeakable things be committed in my name,
With my protests gone unheard.
And I have wept and begged
As people have been sacrificed on my altar
Because I have never wanted any such thing.
And now you are persecuted
And murders are committed and called my curse
But I, Oyashiro-sama, have never wished for such a thing.
