Primordial Envy

Philip Daniel Cook

You have failed completely!

I show you only what I want you to see.
This is your folly, the holiest art is you
can travel as far to the past only fail 
again.

Primordial envy, for
you sympathize with
a primitive creature
meant to die.

That you'd kill me as I am.
I counted on it; you claim
but you already knew that
I am your eternal enemy.

I hate to break this to you 
but you may have lived for
thousands of years but you
lack the insight to know of death.
Enough to know I can't stay dead.

You look the part but you lack the heart.
Pitiful excuse for a man; let alone to fight.
The fact is your not even a warrior willing to die.
Fallen back on your immortal's sight.

I see you hesitate on the battlefield.
I placed inside of your armor of death.
That somehow unable to see; past
the glory of the bloodshed.

  • Comment from author about the poem: With the idea that the humanity being a foot note to a higher being. Is reason enough to return from the fray. To pose a threat to a fragile immortality? Inspired by a combination of The Unguided songs Oblivion and Phoenix Down.
