waar is ek, dis donker. ek voel die koue fingers my omring. i raak aan my gesig en ek hoop dat dit die donkerte wat my gedagtes omring verwyder

iets is nie reg nie, iets is weg

skielik besef ek dat ek nie my gauntlets aan het nie

ek sit op, my kop lui met die geraas van die inboorling dromme van die orcs....

orcs... daar is iets nie reg met die woord nie

dis n vreemde woord wat gedagtes van bloed opbring


From page 1... I put into the auto translator at Freetranslation.com from Dutch - English and got something like this....

Props. I really like it.

Edit:
Not exactly sure why the other posts came back so far negative. I wouldn't be condescending about your work.. no need to distance yourself further from readers. Just, its deeply existential, and, frankly, its just easier for people to call you a ***** than to consider something of meaning. Basing it off WoW didn't help its crediblity; this isn't to say it made it any less artistic, it just allowed the audiences' prejustices to work against it more so than if it had been about.. nature, or something.. pretty?

Ah wells. Whatever the case, it was most certainly a neat poem. I'm glad to see free form is alive; just don't expect to reach masses with a specialized poem of a higher intellectual sentiment.

Afraid not. But, hear me out.

The sentiment I refered to is the existential plight that most of the population is more than content to ignore; its purely intellectual, lacking emotional glee and the blind eye that Prometheus once granted mortals with his Blind Fates.

I call it specailized because its about WoW. While I imagine there are likely those interested in such things playing such a game, the vast majority of existential considerations are by those who haven't played the game. By centering it around something that's foriegn to an already relatively scalarly insignificant audience, he's specialized the poem to the very few who share the traits of this particular form of philosphy and those who play WoW.

As I referred to the Blind Fates above, stories such as the one our author left us is one that inspired the epics of the ancients. However, Homer and those of similar schools had left their epics in more culturally-aligned prospectives, such as those of war, while this author has chosen a distanced prospective.
