Soft rains have come and poisoned the earth,
leaves fluttering and trees burning in rebirth.
Silence of life burns like the fires of war;
the metal causer's mighty growl is no more.
The jungle watches from afar in fascination;
the clan's self-important monument? Now its own damnation.
Yet in all of life's wisdom hope remains;
a fledgling escapes its cage, free of its chains.
Out from the ashes like a phoenix anew,
the bird in black stumbles, his heart innocent and true.
His body is weak but his soul is brave;
He is the proof of survival - a young guard named Dave.
A/N: I never thought I would be inspired by "There Will Come Soft Rains" - that poem is so creepy, especially the context when used for Mr. Ray Bradbury's short story. Yipe. But it did make for a good foundation for this lyric poem taking place after the events of 'Revenged'. A lyric poem expresses emotions or feelings, and it's spoken as though it was accompanied with a lyre. It's not exactly a song, but it can be seen as that. And like many other poetry forms, this also comes from Ancient Greece.
Mr. Dave Panpa, former prisoner of the Toppats. Now the sole survivor of cannibalism as they fought and ate each other alive for power - the one thing that two members fought brutally over and both lost. And Dave somehow won his freedom back. What will be the first thing he does? Run? Collapse? Thank his stars he's free? Regardless of what may occur, this is a potential that's not over yet for Dave.
...In the Twilight Zone. I've always wanted to say this line haha.
Enjoy!
