- The "Reluctant" Messiah's Creed -

_______________________________________________________________________ __________

"I am I.

I exist only to die.

In return, you all will live…

Only to repeat your sins and lies.

And my deaths would all be for naught,

For your selfish wish to persevere has brought.

Thus, you call on me again to save your sorry hides…

To reincarnate a thousand more sorrowful lives,

To fend of the righteous and the wicked while I'm alive,

And set things aright, through my ultimate sacrifice.

For this curse, which that I do not deserve,

Has sealed my soul to this tender youth,

Forever suffering this cruel life,

Draining the soul through my very root.

I pray that this nightmare finally cease,

And condemn mankind to it's rightful due,

So that my anguish may at last ease,

For my vengeance towards Man be appeased.

Yet why am I here,

Shedding my eternal tears?

It's Hope that keeps me partially sane,

That my sorrow would not be left in vain.

I am the ultimate dreamer,

Survivor of lost souls.

I am the angel that lost it's way,

The reason Azreal cries,

For I strive to delay,

The mortal flesh's decay.

But in the end,

There can only be I.

No matter how much I want time to bend,

I am the trigger to your very end.

Mankind's inevitable doom is neigh once more,

Will this new transition in life last forevermore?

When my fated duty has come to pass,

And my soul starts to seek another unfortunate shell,

Will you finally realize at last.

That I ever existed?

Alas! Man,

Thou art lucky after all…

For I am I…

Until the end of time."

- Shinji Ikari, ??/??/15

End of crappy poem

Author's Jibah-jabah 1/6/02:

Man! That was mighty deep (to me anyway....)!!! I'm not used to writing poems, angst and dark stuff, but I think it's appropriate to balance things out for all that's happening here on earth (considering how close anybody's homes to terrorism are nowadays at USA...) I wrote this piece to let off some unexplained steam about two of my favorite works. Sorry to disappoint you, but expect new chapters after I'm done with my term paper for English (It's my senior year and I'll be damned forever if I fail that subject...again).

I'm sorry if there are any grammatical or spelling errors (I'm always on a rush to finish things, you see?), I'm really a flunky when it comes to grammar. I'm not really a writer but I'm the kind of guy that likes to draw. Sometimes you can't draw something but you can do it in writing (only that it's really hard to picture stuff with words), that's why I started writing these pathetic excuses for fun.

Please send any comments or suggestions at raiden_x_@hotmail.com

I'm a good sport when it comes to bad reviews but sending them to me usually doesn't affect anything much, it just most likely add up to the reviews counter.

You can also get weekly updates (I usually update it every Friday/Saturday...) of my plight on fanfiction writing at: http://raiden-x.tripod.com/raidenxsfanfics/ (construction in progress!)

See ya!
