I decided to dig through my archives of poems and share some with you.
We are One
Spirits Strengthened.
Sense heightened.
Brother to brother.
Arm in arm.
Hand in hand.
Rifle to Rifle.
To the battle field.
Why are we here?
Some volunteers,
some outcasts.
Some whom have
been scarred by
bloodshed.
We stand at
the front line.
Forward march.
1, 2, 3, 4.
1, 2, 3, 4.
A pool of blood here,
a corpse there.
All gave their life
for the cause.
We reap the seeds of their misfortune
for it was not us out there, no..
It was them, them who have
families. Wives, children.
Friends.
Who is it that appreciates
them? Nobody. They are nothing
but a mere pawn in the
grand scheme of things.
We, who are sent
out to die. We, who
do not take no for
an answer.
Is it worth it?
We who follow orders.
We have seen the
crimson sky, fuse with
the ever flowing
rain of bullets.
Is it worth it?
To give your life..
is to give an eternity.
Load, cock,
pull the trigger.
Take a life.
Is it worth it?
Those we've killed..
Have families as well.
No matter what we do,
that does not change.
For if we were not to
fight. We would see a
reflection of ourselves
in these people.
Is it worth it?
These so called,
barbarians.
I see no barbarian.
I see a kindred soul
that longs for peace,
that longs for love.
War, is an ugly thing.
We take for granted
what happens to those
dedicated to the cause
of keeping us safe.
We are so arrogant.
Taking the thought of
putting someone else
before you?
Unthinkable.
We only take, steal, snatch.
While we on the battlefield
Fall.
Fall
to
Die.
We are the Soldiers
of Fortune. We are the
safeguard. We shield
against those unfamiliar.
We have no hearts..
So they say.
We would like to
one day stroll
in the pastures of those
before us.
We want to
walk in the pampered
fields where nothing
is bad. Where all is pure.
When that day comes,
we fight on, striving
for victory. Keeping
ourselves alive.
Survival is key.
Until that day
when sweet death
brings us home.
We lie in ready,
Waiting for the enemy.
We are One.
This one I didn't write, my friend took it from someone else, messed around with it, and I thoguht ti was awesome. This for all the Twi-tards out there.
Fade in:
Ext. Washington
Bella Swan goes to Forks, Washington
Once upon a time, there lived an enchanting girl named Bella Swan. She was so awesome that her awesomeness couldn't be contained in Arizona, so she moved to Washington to stay with her father, who was totally lame and not cool.
Charlie Swan: "Hey honey. I'm super lame. I got you a car, but it's totally uncool because I'm totally uncool."
Bella Swan: "Thanks Dad, or whatever. Time for my first day at a new school. Since every coming-of-age story requires the main character be a social outcast, I suppose I'll have to endure being the unpopular new girl until I do something that proves my worth."
Bella goes to school and is instantly popular and beloved.
Jessica Stanley: "Oh my god, I love your hair! You're so pretty! Will you be my new best friend?"
Tyler Crowley: "Can I take you out sometime since you're so awesome?"
Mike Newton: "No way, you a**hole! I saw her first!"
Bella Swan: "I'd rather watch "The Messengers" than date either of you. Why don't you go ask Jessica instead?"
Jessica Stanley: "Ohmigod! I'm getting Bella's rejects, that's so awesome!"
Bella Swan: "Wow. I guess this is what it looks like when the unpopular fat girl's pathetic daydreams get written down and published into a bestselling book. Aren't well-written characters supposed to have flaws?"
Jessica Stanley: "Flaws? Oh, well, um, I suppose you could argue that you're a little TOO perfect and amazing. But I don't think so. Let's make out."
Suddenly, Edward Cullen enters. The paleness of him and his family members reach blinding levels while the squeals in the movie theater reach deafening levels.
Bella Swan: "Who's the albino Wolverine?
Jessica Stanley: "Oh, him? That's Edward. He's universally acknowledged as the hottest boy in school but he doesn't date anyone because no girl is good enough for him."
Bella Swan: "No girl is good enough for him? Man, the excuses closested homosexuals come up with these days.."
Bella sits next to Edward, who nearly vomits in his mouth and leaves school for a week. Eventually, he returns.
Bella Swan: "Hey, where did you go? Because you are exceedingly mean to me, I find myself attracted to you."
Edward Cullen: "Sounds like textbook daddy issues, you fat cow."
Bella Swan: (swoon)
Edward Cullen:" You have a bright career as a stripper ahead of you."
Edward and Bella continue not quite interacting with each other and having no chemistry what-so-ever.
Bella Swan: "Hey, your eyes are changing color from gorgeous to ultragorgeous. What's going on?"
Edward Cullen: "Alright, you got me. I was acting like a jerk because I secretly totally love you."
Bella Swan: "Of course! This also explains why the captain of the football team always acted like he hated Stephanie Meyer!"
Edward Cullen: "There's more. I want to eat you."
Bella Swan: "Holy ****, really? I need to go home and do some waxing first, but.."
Edward Cullen: "No, I mean literally eat you. I'm a vampire.
Bella Swan: "Hmm. The only way I will believe you is if you carry me up a mountain using special effects from the 70s."
He DOES it.
Bella Swan: "You really are a vampire! Does that mean that garlic, stakes, and sunlight kill you?"
Edward Cullen: "Don't be stupid. All of that lore is far too interesting for this movie. Being a vampire just means I get superpowers. It's like being Spider-Man, but sexier. Also, I sparkle in the sunlight."
Bella Swan: "So, that's why why your family moved here, because it's always overcast!"
Edward Cullen: "That's right everyone, this whole movie is a two-hour-long setup for a joke about the Pacific Northwest."
Bella Swan: "So, if you're immortal, how old are you anyway?"
Edward Cullen: "Over a hundred, but to be fair I've spent most of that time working on my hair."
The two of them gaze into each other's eyes with uncomfortably large close-ups for 80% of the rest of the movie.
INT. BELLA'S BEDROOM
Bella wakes up to find Edward watching her sleep.
Bella Swan: "Holy f*cking ****! If you weren't so hot, I'd have you arrested! How long have you been doing this?
Edward Cullen: "2 months."
Bella Swan: "But I've only lived here one month according to the script.
Edward Cullen: "Yeah, the script was written in six weeks. Don't get hung up on **** like that."
Bella Swan: "Oh. Well, as long as you're here I guess we could have sex."
Edward Cullen: "No, I can't have sex with you! I'd be unable to control myself! I'd bite you and turn you into a vampire! Also I ejaculate boiling venom, so I'd need to wear like fifty condoms."
Bella Swan: "Wait, we can't have sex at all, and you can't suck my blood? How can you make a vampire movie without anyone sucking blood?"
Edward Cullen: "It's alright, I think this movie already has more than enough sucking."
INT. CHARLIE SWAN'S HOUSE
Charlie Swan is cleaning his gun and drinking a beer while listening to country music.
Bella Swan: "Dad, my boyfriend is coming over to pick me up. Try not to get dork all over him."
Charlie Swan: "Okay, let me meet him after the movie makes the film industry's ten billionth joke about protective fathers disliking boyfriends."
Bella Swan: "Alright. Oh, and also: He's a 100-year-old vampire, don't say anything racist about vampires, okay?"
Edward Cullen: "Hello, sir. It's a pleasure to meet you, Bella has said absolutely nothing about you because you're so lame."
Charlie Swan: "So I hear you're a 100-years-old. And interested in my 17-year-old daughter. So, mathematically that's like, what, a 40-year-old dating a 6-year-old?"
Edward Cullen: "Ummmmmmmm…"
Charlie Swan: "Yeah, so my friend Chris Hansen would like you to have a seat right over here."
Bella Swan: "Dad, you're embarrassing me almost as much as my acting! I'm just going over to his house to have dinner with his family, I'll be back before 11. Unless the ravenous vampires murder me, of course."
Charlie Swan: "Alright, just bring this pepper spray with you. It's literally the very least I can do to offer it to my teenage daughter."
Bellla Swan: "Daaaaad! Stop being such a loser, I don't need this!"
Charlie Swan: "Really? Weren't you almost raped by four guys earlier in the movie?"
Bella Swan: "Yeah, but I have a boyfriend now, which means I no longer have to be independent or physically capable of doing anything on my own. GOD!"
Edward and Bella go to visit Edward's family mansion in the middle of the woods, because of course the fantasy male should be rich, too.
INT. GLASS MANSION
Bella meets Edward's vampire family.
Bella Swan: "Jesus, this place is paler than an Anne Rice book signing event. At least it doesn't smell as bad."
Carlisle Cullen: "Welcome to our ridiculously expensive home. I'm the father figure of this family because I'm the one who turned them all into vampires. There's something disturbing about the idea that I've only turned teenagers into vampires, but let's ignore that."
Bella Swan: "Wow, you guys are so close. What keeps this family together so well?"
Carlisle Cullen: "Funny you should ask. Let me tell you about Count Joseph Von Smith. One day, a vampire named Moronula appeared to him, and told him to find these golden stakes buried in a coffin.."
Rosalie Cullen: "Knock it off, Dad. So, Bella, there must be something really special about you for Robert to take such a liking to you and risk the lives of his entire family. Tell us about yourself."
Bella Swan: "Me? Oh, no. I'm just a hollow placeholder for all of the teenage girls in the audience to project their personalities onto. I have none of my own whatsoever."
Rosalie Cullen: "Oh. Well, what do you like to do for fun?"
Bella Swan: "Mostly smoke pot on my porch in front of the paparazzi. What about you guys?"
Carlisle Cullen: "Vampire baseball."
Bella Swan: "Haha, no seriously."
Carlisle Cullen: "Really. Vampire baseball. We even have uniforms. Want to come watch us play?"
Bella Swan" "Actually, as it happens, the very last thing on Earth I or any other sane person would want to watch is vampire baseball, but go ahead."
They play vampire baseball, which looks exactly as stupid as it sounds to all of the males in the audience. The game attracts the attention of some evil vampires, who actually do the type of **** vampires are supposed to, like f*cking kill boring humans. One of them, James, notices Bella.
James: "Oh man, that looks great, are you gonna finish that?"
Edward Cullen: "Stay away from her or my family will have to kill you. Specifically, we'll have to hiss at you like fifth graders pretending to be Dracula, and then kill you."
James: "Murder, eh? That's one hell of a family activity. My family usually just plays Scrabble."
Carlisle Cullen: "The family that slays together, stays together."
James tries to eat Bella, a poorly directed action sequence ensues, and eventually he is defeated.
Carlisle Cullen: "Bella's been bitten! She'll be turned into a vampire within minutes unless you suck the venom out! I can't do it for some reason or another."
Edward Cullen: "Since the whole novel this is based on is just Mormon propaganda for abstinence and bloodsucking is a metaphor for sex, what exactly is this advocating?"
Carlisle Cullen: "Look, all I know is that even though it's going to be really hard, you're just going to have to pull out of her before climax. The climax of the movie, I mean."
He DOES. It's very dissatisfying.
INT. HOSPITAL
Bella wakes up in the hospital, and Edward wakes up after her.
Bella Swan: "I thought vampires never slept."
Edward Cullen: "Script. Six weeks. Remember?"
Bella Swan: "Right. Well, thanks for saving my life after endangering it by inviting me into your dangerous world. Let's go to the prom together."
Edward Cullen: "Actually, I think it would be better if we broke up. To keep you safe."
Bella Swan: "From vampires?"
Edward Cullen: "No, from being typecast forever after this series is done. I'm screwed, but it's not too late for you."
Bella Swan: "No. No, you can't ever leave me. Never. No matter what. We must be together forever and ever and ever."
Edward Cullen: "Holy ****, you're a clingy psychotic b*tch. Maybe we have a realistic high school relationship after all."
They stay together, and go to the prom.
Bella Swan: "I want you to make me a vampire so that I can be with you, even if it means sacrificing my own life as a mortal."
Edward Cullen: "So, the next generation of young women are currently flocking to see a female lead starring in a movie by a female director based on a bestselling book by a female author, and in this movie the main character wants to become completely submissive and self-sacrificing for a male."
Bella Swan: "I love you. Put a baby in me."
Edward Cullen: "At least the other three books can't possibly be more misogynistic and depressing."
They ARE.
