    Default The Epistemology Of A Man's Armpit

    Hello, I'm new here on the forums This is a long poem I wrote spontaneously, I am however surprised by the few edit options, I can't put my text in center or anything (Edit; now I can! ) Or make the words bigger or smaller. Anyways, hope you enjoy it Excuse my swear in this poem, as your forum seems to not appreciate such profanity.


    Epistemology Of A Man's Armpit

    "Well, who knows who, and who knows the who?
    Who just learns in a manner of seconds?
    Yes, the it
    Why you ask?
    Well
    Why don't you question your armpit? That's where all the s h i t speaks.. you know
    Where mans toxic trails can be seen, so they say
    So! Back to where we started

    Sometimes it haunts me
    This alphabetical rhyme
    Kids singing in a choir
    Happily without care
    When suddenly, this macabre scene unfolds before my eyes
    Children.. aligned on a conveyor belt
    They are all blind
    Wearing nothing but silk robes
    And their arms....their arms! Reeks of the dead..
    The stench is unbearable
    A
    And worst of all, They are given these absurd tools
    B
    Machines feeding them to the brink of death
    C
    Still, happily ever after they sing
    D
    As the conveyor belt descents. Where darkness utmost lingers..
    E
    On and on they chant, in an endless terrifying choir
    F
    The language is unknown to me, but somehow it makes perfect sense
    G
    As if I've heard it a thousand times before
    H
    Tears
    I
    I find myself weeping, but I don't know why and how
    J
    Feels like decades..
    K
    But then it hits me
    L
    And I wonder
    M
    If man will ever change
    N
    This suicidal path must end..
    O
    I grab my vest
    P
    Shaking myself
    Q
    With all my might
    R
    I have to wake up!
    S
    My armpit radiates, pouring sweat all over
    T
    .... And I finally realise
    U
    When I hear this loud... chime
    V
    louder..louder..
    W
    It beckons to me
    X
    Soothing tranquility, wrapping itself
    Y
    Like a fine coil
    Z
    The world starts to flicker

    Finally I am able...to remove this shroud
    How could we have known? Who we are, and who is?
    Our mother tongue, is not what it seems to be
    It is.. where ultimate order dwells
    A global unseen doctrine
    So you tell me
    Am I insane?"

    Well, Eccer, this is the description of a nightmare which involves a lot of basic fears, the worst of all being

    "will man ever change"

    of course not,lol! we have always been a bunch of idiots but we DO have our bright moments

    so, you aren't any more "insane" than the rest of us!

    Haha, well this text was a whole lot of fun to write, however..I was skeptical if the alphabet would fit in there or not, but I guess it kinda did after a while. The question is, is he really dreaming? Or is the reality that which is seen, a portrait of our self? And is our language what it really seems to be? Are words anything at all?

    One more thing...Amnesia: The Dark Decent, play it and be scared shitless. Because, that's what inspired me
