Desperate Measures
Strength of will is not enough,
I should be made of stronger stuff.
Keep it under lock and key,
lest it get the best of me.
I've tried before and always failed
to escape the coffin nailed,
but this approach may be the one
to see this dread addiction done.
Day 25
Prompt:
"Write an occupational poem"
Ok, so I stretched the prompt a bit on this one. :p
Igor's Lament
Beneath the rising smoke
and the jacob's ladder's arc,
behind the insane scientist
trying to make his mark
a lone, disfigured form
hunches over the controls
tasked with the job of making sure
that everything unfolds.
If anything goes wrong
he'll be the one to blame,
but if it's successful he'll receive
no fortune and no fame.
Toiling away in silence,
he's content to just survive
until the moment Master screams
"It's alive ... alive!"
