01. Intro - I Am Hector (Spoken Word)


Captain Marin

410 views

Redeem me

For I am Hector

Strayed by anxiety/

I vociferate for the weak

Mercy, I will not plead

Enchained by society/

Come forth death

Since I seek renaissance

I am too late for revival/

My ancestors before me

Deemed a loser against the economic battle

Yet deemed champion for cultural survival/

I stand mightily against a legion that of a size of a tidal/

Others rage I should stay and pray

But vengeance to me, is vital/

But of course, I do fear

But my tears shall not control my actions

Nor dismiss my crusade against this evil/

I have seen my brothers fall

As the treacherous stand tall

I will avenge for my people/

I will plead a savior

I will plead a hero/

Against me, a million

Those I lead, zero/

Lurking beneath the shadows

I am dragged by a demon

Raging for me to fall before my own knees/

But behind the crimson eyes of this beast,

I see that he does not demand, he instead pleads

So he can be seen as the beast by all

But instead, I will sow a seed/

A seed that represents the hate

Page by page/

Rage after rage/

And conceive liberty to those who refused me to lead/

Even though I, alone, battled society

As I crawled beneath the trenches/

I shall not deem my position to theirs

Nor baffle and wave needles, chainsaws, swords, and wrenches/

To be forgiven, you must forgive.

Abandon vengeance/

May the skies sing

May the bells of liberty ring

For this is Redemption/

Good luck with that >.>

Then I would like to hear (or in this case, read) what excellency is ,authored by you, if it is such mediocrity. Give me an example what a great poem is, from your own pen and paper, if you believe you can do better, so I can step my game up.

Or...

You can provide constructive criticism since I welcome it with open arms so I can improve as a writer.

Relax dude, I was only kidding.

I'm sorry :(

I like how your rhyme scheme is "whenever I feel like it".

Why bother rhyming if you're going to be lazy and inconsistent about it.

What? I thought that poetry doesn't have to rhyme all the time, but I'll try harder in creating a constructive rhyme scheme. Thanks for the input.

Yeah, it would be better with a more decisive "flow" to it. Your rhymes are kind of scattered.

I agree, but this is a poem, I was not aiming for it to be a rap, but the ones coming next are going to be.
