Up above, in the sky

The tethered kite, it flies high.

It knows not its direction;

but what it knows, it won't last long.

Let the wind carry you away

The bright stars, they'll show you your way.

Drifting and spinning, twisting and turning;

free yourself from that thin string.

Forget it all, leave it burning;

desecrated, like Rome. One day soon,

soon you'll find your way home.


Free from the fall, from a bitter brawl; the little kite flies high, hoping

one day it understands why

all is never as it seems.

The promised land, is now a distant dream.

Drowning slowly in the rain; your shroud, it awaits. But you?

You knew all along.

The once-tethered kite has fallen to its grave

But all it does is smile. It smiles in wait;

in wait, for another day.

Line breaks weren't working for whatever the f reason so I had to double-enter to seperate lines. The line in the middle just separates the stanzas.
Also, it isn't a reference to The Kite Runner

why is every line a stanza? or do you just use double-space font because you want people to not read it


it looks like regular spacing to me, he probably meant for it to be a two stanza poem

or at least, that's wha looks like to me


perhaps just epicmafia forum-posting. the formatting really bothers me as is though and makes me not want to read it.

Is this a reference to "The Kite Runner"? .. Only I read 'Forget it all, leave it burning' and thought you were referring to a particular chapter in the book.

I didn't really find it to be particularly coherent.

Bump, waiting for criticism.
