We all agree, right?

AI to write your novel is wrong

A bargain with a demon to write your novel is okay

Days will pass, and you'll abandon things you were addicted to, and leave someone, and cancel a dream, and finally, accept a reality.

“The most relatable thing I've ever read is how religion is like having an estranged mother. You grew up admiring and idolizing her, but then you saw the real world for yourself and suddenly she's not the same mother you've always known. You want to scream at her in anger and frustration but at the same time lay your head on her lap and cry because no matter what you do, you can't escape your mother's blood. ”

“Beauty requires extravagance, The era of jazz and glamour she revels in; She has ambitions - she strives for more. Avarices she wears proudly, one rooted in her core.

Blood ensures wealth, He has everything in silver platter; Ego runs his mind, he succeeds without even lifting a finger.

Greed and Lust should never mix, It brings rot even to living things.

Time is an enemy to desire, Beauty perishes unearthing the vile underneath, Riches decay; spent as easily as you breathe.

Pride and concietedness will prevail, As the story of The Beautiful and The Damned is always told to fail. ”

— “The beautiful and The Damned”, Ielahiah

free verse poetry inspired by the story of f. scott fitzgerald, 'the beautiful and the damned.
