I present to you a poem

Bay 12
Were all batshit insane
But it's ok
They keep us locked up

edit: I made another one
dwarf fortress
Dwarves tend to go stark raving mad
But it's ok
We give them the hammer

Love the idea! Here are all the things I wrote for Necrothreat, the fortress of the Forumites. It includes poems on some actual Forumites, so appropriate showing off! :D

Picking one at random for those that don't want to go through links:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Where are the Forumites I once knew,
The swords, the axe, the mace?
Oh where are they, the brave and true,
That I had loved to see.

The halls now ring silently
Cursing lack of life.
Oh where, oh where are they?
My heart with woe is rife.

Where once great pillars sweeping rose
Bejewelled in light and gold,
There now is naught, not even foes-
Their works have  long been turned to mould.

A shade, I walk between the rooms
Where once sang bards with merriment;
Ah, how I long to hear their haunting tunes,
But oh, they’re gone, their beauty’s spent.

No more shall I be cast adrift
For I am here inside the Fort
Of Forumites, where long I dwelt
In blazing ball, in flow’ring court.

I turn my back from this drear place,
A tear is in my eye-
They’re gone, the Forumites,
An age has passed, I watched it die.

No more is bravery an art,
No longer NAV is drunk on joy.
We were the last alive to see
A place the gods could not destroy.

“Where are my friends,” I sigh
And in the sky the sun begins to climb.
“Where did they go?” I whisper; cry,
Distraught, a second time.

Behind is Necrothreat,
Ahead the whole of life and light,
But I would throw it all to hell,
For one more glimpse, a single sight….

Of halls that gleam and glitter white,
Then red, then green, then blue!
Of faces harsh and hard,
But nonetheless honest and true.
Mayhap also I would see the land
Around turn green, fertile and ripe,
But more I’d love to see the men,
The ones who fought for what was right.
And then I’d see the people live,
And walk, and talk-just live their lives!
Oh what I’d give to see that sight
With these two weary eyes.

That bad, was it? :P

Edit: If you're talking about the spoilered one, IIRC I wrote that one after Mastahcheese posted something in an emotion thread that made me saddened, so I wrote that.

Dwarves intelligence
Dwarves do some really fucking stupid things
But there bloody good bookkeepers
Also there very creative
That counts as intelligence
But only because I needed a 3rd line
