"Affect the Effect (Much to my Chagrin)" by T3canolis
- There was once a bagel
- Which contained power and might
- It attracted many people
- Because it shined so bright
- The bagel possessed a curse
- One from centuries ago
- That unleashed a terrible punishment
- A fate that very few know
- The bagel also was good
- For it gave remarkable ability
- Of strength and speed
- Endurance and agility
- One might considered it a blessing
- Until a further inspection
- When they learned the truth
- That it shows no love or affection
- It tricks people into using
- By promising superpowers and such
- It fulfills their wishes
- But it doesn't really do much
- It convinces them they are strong
- Like a superhero from a comic
- That their whole being is changed
- All the way down, subatomic
- Then the bagel strikes down
- Surprising the owner extremely
- The bagel cuts a massive wound
- And boy, the bagel cuts deeply
- It doesn't hurt you physically
- It has another trick up its sleeve
- It resigns you to be in a place
- A place that you cannot leave
- You're forced to work often
- And you contribute only through fear
- You tell yourself to keep going
- Because you think the end is near
- The place is so frightening
- Beyond a description
- Inhabitants horrid
- Beyond an encryption
- You become trapped on a website
- On which you're reading
- No escape from edits
- No break you've been needing
- No elaborate escape plan
- Illogic is reality
- So if you see a shining bagel
- Just hope that you have wheat allergy
Comments: My bad for having the same format two poems in a row. Mah bad.
