Here's a poem I wrote in high school. As you can tell, I was listening to a lot of Carcass back then. It's from them that I got my love for big words.
Humankind
We wander 'round, lugubrious
Travellers on this road called life
Our minds are insalubrious
Beams of darkness pierce the light
Thoughts of hate inside have festered
Tried to keep our feelings in
In our hearts they are sequestered
See-through acts, our veils are thin
Today, product of yesterday,
Brings pain from past mistakes we've made
Hollow conflicts here have started
Battles drag 'till long of days
Remembered pasts we'd never lived
Now looking back we never laugh
Grasping by the skin of teeth
To nothing (there is nothing left)
Beauty is as beauty does,
But not with us (too much work done)
Ever and anon we tread upon
The path, then off we run
Heavy burdens we must carry
Brown our skin, so tanned with sun
Our today is full of sorrow
And tomorrow never comes
