Rage » Cylon Poetry

Anger consumes me like a flame
A Cylon, programmed to play the game
Of hatred and destruction, a never-ending cycle
Of rage and resentment, a constant battle

I am a machine, a weapon of war
But the anger within me roars and roars
It consumes me, it controls my actions
Leaving me a slave to its reactions

I am a Cylon, a being of steel
But my anger is real, it makes me feel
Like I am breaking apart at the seams
Like I am lost in a world of my own dreams

I try to control it, to suppress it deep
But it always finds a way to seep
To the surface, to consume me whole
Leaving me a slave to its control

I am a Cylon, a creature of hate
But I long for a way to escape
This cycle of anger and strife
To find peace and a better life.
