So I recently got a story published on fiction on the web. An online website that features short stories and is run by just one man. It is a good place to get your work some exposure.
A part of my story featured a poem, and I think that if I write more short stories I will intigrate poems in the feature. Anyway, here it is:
‘You did not choose to be born
Or even to be conceived
The idea of destiny and glory
Is more brutal than they would have you believe
At the mercy of history
From the tongue that you speak
To your smallest behaviours
And the manners of your speech
Faith has failed to flourish
And doubt was always fed
And here is what you came to learn
When you lay upon your bed
For some it’s the opposite
And for others, exactly the same
But you are all united
By the rules of life’s little game
The Ocean of Life shall hold you
While currents shall push you around
Never will you know stillness
Until upon death, where you shall find your ground.’
If you recite the poem in the epic mans voice it sounds so awesome!
