Faceless Prey

Damn, what's with all the religious-based pieces lately? lol Anyway, just wrote this a few minutes ago, I couldn't really decide on whether to call this "Faceless Prey" or "The Faceless Man"...I'd like your input on that if you'd be so kind.


I am a mask on faceless men
I am a light that only shines on the forgiven
I am a name both whispered and screamed
But never sung out in between

I am the soul of every being
I am the chosen one
I will forgive you in your rapture
For I am the chosen one

In me, you will find comfort
In me, you will find hope
In me, you will find love
For me, you will blindly grope

I am a mask on faceless men
I am a shield that hides the forbidden
I am guilty by your association
I am the road from temptation

I am the soul of every being
I am the chosen one
I will forgive you in my rapture
For I am the chosen son

I am a victim of your lies.

hmm, i don't think i'm getting the full extent of what you're saying here - i guess i'm not in the proper mood to fully understand it right now -, but as for your writing, i must say the repetitions throughout the piece work way better than i thought when seeing it at first. also, i totally love the third and fourth lines, they're ace. i like how you've kept it relatively simple, not overdoing wording and such. it's pretty good overall.

personally, i like "faceless prey" better than "the faceless man", it works better as a title. :)

Wow really? I thought I was almost a little too conspicuous with this piece. It's about Jesus and how he's portrayed in modern society.

well yeah, i figured out that much, it's the small things i yet have to think about some more - the true meaning, or the effect itself, of individual lines in relation to the piece as a whole, if you know what i mean. dunno, i just don't seem to be too inspired lately when it comes to analyzing literature... :unsure:

i must say, though, that it's definitely not too conspicuous. what you're talking about can sure be understood, but there's still about the right ammount of subtlety to this piece.
