Pride? or life?

If anyone of you has ever read the Inheritance series by Christopher Paolini, you would know the line that follows the next. But if you haven’t, the line is self-explanatory and you don’t need to worry about it being related to the story. “Dying for your beliefs actually pretty common. It’s living and suffering for what you believe in that takes courage.” This line inspired me and if there was something I believed in, I would not give up and wait for my time to put my belief forward. But then, I agree, there would be times when I had to live according to rules/norms which would completely defy my beliefs. But then, earlier this month, I got this line from a friend of mine which he has completely taken to. It’s from the popular anime series Dragon Ball Z. I went over to www.youtube.com and saw the video and it proved to be equally inspiring. Vegeta, a super-saiyian (class of characters from Dragon Ball Z), was captured by Babidi, the greatest wizard in the series, but he resists and says, “You may have invaded my mind and my body...but there's one thing a Saiyain always keeps...his PRIDE!!!”

Haha! Too inspiring, both of them. But I have no idea as to what to believe in anymore. He would have killed himself had he not had the strength to oppose the power that had captured him. But that’s not the case in real life. You don’t always have the strength. You don’t always have a chance. What do you keep in that case : bide your time to come back later, or in short, your life….or your Pride?

Envy led the way on the path of life.

Purity, the innocence,
the love in its eyes,
So unaware, this creature,
New to this life

Dying, and a corpse
the last few words, it cries,
dust are it's wings,
they rot, and feed the flies

What does it know
of sorrow and of pain?
Of death and destruction
And satans evil game

It lost its innocence
in this mortal life was its bane,
there was death and destruction
over was God's reign.

what does it know?
Not what it should.
and in this life,
slowly it would,
seek what they say is,
the meaning of life,
and along its fruitless journey
murder it will find

It started walking the path
it should have not taken,
strolling along those trails
Oh! was he not mistaken?
It left on a road
that left it behind
and until that brutal murder,
the search was going fine

Lucky it was murdered
So young in life
Had it carried on
only to find
that demons and angels
fight against the wrong
try and undo the right
and in this war of good and bad
he too would be asked to fight

A never ending fight
with no knowledge of right
He would be led astray
without a choice
to leave or stay
there would be nothing wrong
to add another who's just born
and if he had survived
to be one more forlorn

Lost in its dilemma
of wrong over right
Faced with the truth
That only the bright
Light from an angel
Its halo a glow
As hard hitting as it was
It could not follow

The fire was a trap
His smile
His grasp
Luring it was

Till the devil caught him altogether
and that my beautiful child,
is innocence lost all over.

dranz3r and tash .... 'V wrote it'

The beauty was terrible,
The innocence so pure,
She looked like a jellyfish,
That had been washed ashore.

Had she charmed her way
or had she, like me, cried and swayed?
Had she like me, silently suffered in pain
Or just like a pirate, got cast away?
Now that she's ashore,
will she find her way?
Is it her destiny
To run away?

For the first time it is that,
to the God, I pray
That unlike the last time,
She wont just stray
Am I wrong to think
That innocence was the only way?
In this darkness and this light,
Will she have someone for help
Or will she be alone in the fight?
Maybe I was right and maybe not,
But ill think about that some other day
Today is her revenge, her freedom, her say
The war is waging,
There's no turning back,
She's stuck in the middle
Of darkness and light
She surrendered to the darkness
Yet another time
The anger was raging,
The war still waging
Angels and demons were up in my sight,
and the heart of our jellyfish,
For freedom was singing
The song it sang, the war waged on,
my time was there still, and yet so long gone...

I wondered if I
Had she the strength
To go on at all?
My heart was broken
A shattered glass,
A token,
Of remembrance
Of the pitiful days
I once had slaved through
In old jellyfish place

Its world was water
it's stillness made me numb
The war, it's destruction,
deaths, there were some
The jellyfish had sung,
My heart succumbed
A power
so great,
it made me it's slave
and I continued my journey
in the old jellyfish place...

deaths there were more,
there were bodies on the floor,
cared I, for them? no, not for one..!!

And our jellyfish the mighty,
Took a deep breath
And mounted itself
To the top of Old jellyfish cleft
From where it kicked of
Towards the sunshine so bright
To inhale the freshness
Of the sweet air outside
Revenge of the jellymonster
Whatever that is
is what Old jellyfish place

Was about to witness
Wrath of the monster
That they had made of her
Was bubbling below the surface
Dangerously aware
The consequences
The result
Of the anger she knew
But now it was time
For them to know too
Just what it is to challenge

The innocence of a jellyfish
To render her defenceless
In old jellyfish place
To take away her beauty
To take away her soul
And leave her to die
On the cold moonlit floor
To slay her
Not once
Not twice
But cut her up
With a blade
All day and all night
To feed her to the sharks
And laugh from the distance
As jellyfish the mighty
Scared of the vicious
Prayed for her life
Her soul
Her existence

I felt the pain
and I did feel the wrath,
I felt her anger
and I knew it's path

There was none to stop it
from paying them back
the crimes they made her commit
and those deeds so black

I felt so powerless
and I felt so strong,
I would kill them myself
I would righten the wrong

But
Alas!
Her death said it all
She could have fought
and she could have won
Yet,
she had chosen this path
and had left me a word
and she made me drop my gun

Her innocence
I thought
was dead
but here it was
alive and so pure
back from the lore
It came in to me
I moved in the way
I stopped the fish
from
taking their lives away

The angel was dead
and I would die too
I would follow it to heaven
and I would fly too....

for (month = 9; month > 0; month--) { write Poem };

Nine months, I spent in my mother's womb
nine months, I have to stay away from her
Nine months, that long, it was my room
Nine months, I'll live, uncared for.

Eight months, I spent, in past three years
Eight months, that short, without my fears
Eight months went fast, as it now appears
Eight months, just that, when I was hers.

Seven months, out of those few eight
Seven months, with my father I stayed
Seven months, for them, my life, I'll trade
Seven months, ah! I wish I could go back a decade

Six months, it's been since I lied to him
Six months, it's been since that situation grim
Six months, it's been since my evil grin
Six months, since I said "I wish I would never see him"

Five months, since they said goodbye to me
Five months, since I crossed those seven seas
Five months, I lived wishing I could flee
Five months, and I thought it wouldn't even last three

Four months, since everything's felt the same
Four months, since everything became so lame
Four months, I've lived a life without aim
Four months, untill I go back home, again

Three months, and two, I've missed my friends
Three months, and ten, and no fight's with pens
Three months, and fifteen, I spent with them
Three months, and fifteen, and this is how it ends

Two months, or more, oh! just give me a day
Two months, or less, I haven't even said hey
Two months, or more, and it will be may
Two months, or less, and with them I'll play

One month, that's all, that I will spend
One months' all I got, and I cannot extend
One month, when I see, my dad, mom, and friends
One month, then again, I'll be back to contend.
