User blog:Sceptileisgreat14/Man O' War (poem for the wiki poetry slam)

Yes, from a Ventriloquist, to a lost dog, I now find myself at a Man O' War. I certainly get around

Anyway, this is my final poem of the tournament, so I hope you guys enjoy, I honestly never thought that I would get this far :P (although tbf, I did essentially skip the first round)

Floating in a sea of artificial despair is the humanoid Man O' War

So gently it moves, graceful, its movements gradual

The small components make a ship that cruises the pitiful ocean

Temporarily, but never permanently keeping away persistant danger

But the danger awaits the perfect time to strike

Floating in a dead body of water is the intelligent Man O' War

Thriving off of the darkening abyss, the vacant space

It eats that which floats by unkowingly; double crossed by Mother Nature

A predator of severe dilligance and evil craft

But a more sinister danger still lingers in these devious waters

Decaying painfully, is the manned Man O' War

Something has slipped through its relentless stingers

It was bound to happen of course, no matter the number of guards

The danger has loitered, but now it has attacked viciously

And with it, the unbreakable bonds of the colony are broken

The Man O' War is sinking in the black tar, like a fallen juggernaut

With each inch degraded, a vital worker gone, deceased

The danger is dominant, opening a portal for others;

To enter and take cheap but certainly deserved blows

The Man O' War continues to fall apart, no longer, a single being

What's left of the departed Man O' War, lies dormant on a seabed

The dead Zooloids unable to disperse, fighting an inevitable defeat

The danger once and for all ending, a barbaric error

There is no more of the Man O' War, no robotic like system

And at last the Earth rests easy, now that everything is equal
