The prison fell, and I rejoiced
My bonds had been destroyed
I was free
I must have my revenge
The crimes committed
Must not go unanswered
The tragedies befallen me
Will be there final regret
With revenge
I will find Peace
They watched as people passed them by
Forgetful of the old ways
The traditions of mankind
Forgotten they had lost their power
But not their ambition
A return to the old ways
A restoration of how things were
Until then they would wait, and watch
Patiently waiting for a return
An awakening of the truth
The first poem gave a feeling of darkness and anger. The way you were able to convey that was very impressive. It leaves me wondering if the prisoner ever got his revenge, and if it was worth it after the fact if he actually did get the revenge he seeked. The second poem made me think of some ancient order and way of life sitting dromant in todays society, waiting to return. Good job on both!
