"Ode to the Vampyre (Cry)"
Open Your Eyes; Open Your Ears; Open Your Minds.
The Masses, the Primped and Proper, Delicate-Minded Masses of the World,
It is to You I Raise My Voice.
Do You not Believe in God, in the Creator of All Life,
Simply Because Others Give Their Word,
Because They Give You, to Read, Their Writings, Their Scriptures?
Do you not Heed Their Voice, Take Those Words as Fact?
Do You not Fail to Question?
Do You not simply have Faith that such a Marvel Exists?
Do You not simply Want to Believe in such an Existance?
Does it not make You feel Comforted to Believe that Someone Watches and Protects, Unseen?
Yes, I Answer for You, Yes, You Do
You Need No Proof, You Need No Evidence,
You Believe Because You Want to Believe,
Because It Makes You Happy.
And What of Souls? Of Ghosts? Of Angels? Of Demons?
And What of Jesus?
Yes, You Believe in Them, Surely, Just as You Believe in God and Satan,
For These Entities are a Part of God, and a Part of Satan;
You Cannot Believe in These Two Great Forces and Not The Worlds over which They Rule, Can You?
And So, with This Knowledge, We Move On,
Into a Territory in which None Care to Venture,
A Territory that is Unpleasant for You, the Masses;
Unpleasant because It Speaks of the Darker Side of Life,
A Side of Life that You Ignore and Disbelieve in the Hope that if You Do Not Believe, It Does Not Exist.
Foolish, Foolish Masses,
Do You Think that You Can Pick and Choose What is Real and What is Make-Believe?
That Your Word is the Creator and Eraser of All Things?
That You have simply to Label Things as You See Fit to Make Them So?
Well, for You, Stubborn Masses, Who are So Lacking in Maturity,
For You I Bring to Light the Delicate Conundrum in which You Find Yourselves.
There IS a World which Lies Just Beneath the Surface,
A World which has been Documented Since the Beginning of Time,
Indeed, has been Scripted Since the Time of Your Beloved Jesus,
A World Ruled by Bloodlust and Instincts, a Beautiful World,
A World which You Have no Ounce of Understanding for, and So Allow it to Remain Unknown.
But You Have Fear of The Unknown,
And So it is Far Easier for You Pass Off This World as a Figment of Some Fool's Imagination, Centuries Ago,
To Disbelieve and Discredit These Stories when You Put Such Blind Faith in Other, Happier Stories,
Stories that Help You to Sleep Better at Night.
Well, You are WRONG, Ignorant Masses,
Wrong to Accept What Makes Your Life Easier while Shunning what Makes Your Life Any Bit more Difficult,
Shunning what Taints Your Image of the Perfect World.
Do Those Who have had This World Forced Upon Them get the Choice to Live Blissfully Ignorant of It?
Do They Enjoy Being Ignored? Being Outcast for the Cards They were Dealt?
Is it Fair for Them to Be Ostracized, to Be Told They do not Exist, simply Because You do not Wish Them to Exist?
No, It is Not Right,
And Yet, It Will Continue, as It has All These Centuries, Because You, The Masses, are What is Most Important to You.
You Care Not of the Wellbeing of Others, just Continue to Live Your Own, Shortsighted Lives,
And You are Happier This Way.
Well, Take Comfort in the Fact that Your Lives are Perfect,
Ignore My Voice if You Must,
But Before You Turn to Me a Deaf Ear,
And Before You Turn Away Your Blind Eyes,
Know This:
True Happiness Comes in Accepting All of Life,
In the Knowledge that Not Every Being is Just Like You,
That We are All Unique and That is What Makes Life Special.
When You Open Your Heart to The World-the Whole World-
Your Life Will Truly Be Complete.
Until Then, May You Sit Up at Night Knowing that Your Life is an Empty Shell, Void of any True Significance.
May You Live Knowing the Hardships You Have Forced Upon Others,
May You Live Knowing the Guilt You Have Brought Upon Yourselves.
May You Live Knowing that You Have Let Down Our Lord Father,
May You Live Knowing that These Beings You So Reject are Closer to Our Father than You Have Ever Been.
And Cry.
Just Cry.
*There is just as much documented evidence of the existance of Vampires as there is evidence of the existance of Jesus, demons, and ghosts, yet people are not willing to believe in these vampire documents as they do documents about their beloved spiritual beings. And why is that? Because they don't WANT to believe it, and if they don't face the truth, well then it doesn't exist. They are blind and deaf, and even worse, they don't care that vampires are misunderstood, if they even let themselves acknowledge that misunderstanding in the first place.
And it sickens me that the world is so shallow. It makes me feel disgraced to call myself Human. Society has mucked up the shoes of both the vampire population and those of us who believe in them and then shunned us and those we believe in for tracking mud in their clean, perfect homes when it's THEIR fault all of our shoes are so messy to begin with, that's the way I see it. I hope I'm not alone. Vampire's and vampire believers are a minority, but being a small and slightly unique population is not a reason to discredit us.
To Those Miracles of Life Known as Vampires,
as well as Those Millions Who Will Not Believe,
I Hope This Piece Speaks to You All.
With All My Love and Respect to My Unique Friends,
Kayla (ShadowFlower)
Here's a poem I wrote a little while ago:
This World Before Me (Enjoy the Ride)
Here I lay, gazing away,
At this fresh, new world before me.
Here I sit, trying to make pieces fit,
In this complex world before me.
Here I crawl, now it's a free-for-all,
This wide, wide world before me.
Here I walk, I explore and gawk,
At this marvelous world before me.
Here I run, how life is fun!,
In this exciting world before me.
Here I learn, for knowledge I yearn,
Of this wonderous world before me.
Here I work, not much of a perk,
In this harsh real world before me.
Here I rest, I did my best,
In this arduous world before me.
Here I lived, and here I died,
Often I laughed, and often I cried.
But ever and ever, the tears, they dried,
And full, am I, of joy and pride.
When last I closed my eyes and sighed,
I was glad I did not run and hide.
And was content, while quietly I lyed,
Because I held on and enjoyed the ride.
