"Why suffer us this never-ending hell?" 4 says, "Get on your knees and suck my schlong "Or leave me be. Just get out of my cell." //When 5 comes, there is nothing to discuss. Leave her alone. "Happy birthday to us."// [[/tab]] [[tab 2558]] [[[scp-2558 |Horseshoe Beach First Baptist Church (Relocated)]]] One Dalet member stands along the sand Of Panacea's crashing, awesome waves He's waiting for the church again to land And send the screaming Baptists to their graves There's thirty-seven of them, chosen few Selected to live lives exempt from want Recite the hymns and scriptures from their pews And die within their mass baptismal font There's hardly bubbles when resurgence comes And Dalet waits for Holy Ghost and fire But all he hears is heartbeat loud as drums Within his chest, march for a liquid pyre //All now that's left is murmurs in the seas Protestants whisp'ring "help us, save us, please"// [[/tab]] [[tab 1762]] [[[scp-1762 |Where The Dragons Went]]] They came to us with hope that we would view Them as they once appeared in all their glory Wanting us to help, and not to be skewed As drawings in a children's fairy story But all they were was paper, folded tight Into flimsy avatars of splendor They tried to warn us of the dying light That war was coming, and they couldn't render Themselves upon us, they needed our aid But all we saw was toys alighting on Our fingertips, their messages waylaid And then came fire, blood--then they were gone //We've now lost how they had loved us before "Here were dragons" is how we've priced their lore.// [[/tab]] [[tab 1457]] [[[scp-1457 |Mourning Cloak]]] It's seen no empires fall, no cities burned Its memories are not so light or big No shipwrecked boats the sea has overchurned Or war-massed graves, and those who're forced to dig Its thoughts instead are small and intimate Heavy sorrows upon the brows of men Prayers they've pressed upon the filament A cry for sympathy time and again It's seen the hungry mouths, held wide The lonely tables meant for more than one A child in darkness, trying hard to hide All these it gives to you, suppressing none //The thoughts destroy you, ravages of time It whispers, "Here now, let me show you mine."// [[/tab]] [[tab 288]] [[[scp-288 |The "Stepford Marriage" Rings]]] "Come here, my sweet, I've got something to ask. "It's something that you've longtime waited for. "I know I've thought you not up to the task "To settle home and hearth and clean-swept floor. "I know you've thought of leaving--please don't lie. "I know you think our love is all askew. "But darling, I can change, or I can try, "And more importantly you can change too. "I know you've thought me to be quite the jerk "Insisting on tradition; now I plea, "I think I've found a way to make this work "So please, my darling, won't you marry me?" //"Yes," she cries, so thrilled to end her wait// //And ring upon her finger seals her fate.// [[/tab]] [[tab 567]] [[[scp-567| The Dungeon]]] There's water softly dripping from the roof And with conviction six feet step in time While two of them are quiet and aloof The third is wailing, telling of his crime His jailers are unsympathetic, taut Unwilling to think of him as human A person who had done wrong and been caught And now was lead through their stone-wrought lumen "I didn't //want// to!" he cries through his tears "They said that I would have to take the blame "They played on all my loves, and all my fears, "Please tell me, would you not have done the same?" //The chains snap out and drag him to his fate To quench a thirst for justice we can't sate.// [[/tab]] [[tab 2118]] [[[scp-2118| The Lost Child]]] The doctor rests his hands upon her cell On glass that separates the child from him He waits for her to loose her words and tell What he can't find upon a paper skim She watches him with eyes that tell of grief Of children just like her who passed away Of sadness, terror, sorrow and relief Of babies who were lost or gone astray He cannot speak now, he has no more words He only waits in dark solemnity For his son's speech to fly her mouth like birds Assuage the guilt he's felt so endlessly //Her mouth will give him words to help him grieve While lifted hands cry out for him to leave// [[/tab]] [[tab 095-J]] [[[scp-095-J| Anomalous Typeface]]] For real, my dudes, I do not understand Why we can't just be chill about this font It's just a typeface! Nothing to be banned And purposely designed to never daunt I think it's truly silly, really, now, That we've allowed ourselves to be so cowed By this. Do we think our collective brow Is so high that some letters aren't allowed?! We're better than this, look inside your heart And see that we can end this petty spat That's driven kerning [[span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"]]nerds and friends apart So just believe that we--oh dear, what's that? //NO WAIT I DIDN'T MEAN TO MAKE IT SHOW I'LL MAKE IT STOP DON'T TOUCH ME NO NO NO!//[[/span]] [[/tab]] [[/tabview]] [[=]] **<< [[[first-quarto |First Quarto]]] | Second Quarto >>** [[/=]] [[include :scp-wiki:component:license-box]] [!-- N/A (No Images) --] [[include :scp-wiki:component:license-box-end]]
