Late to the party.
I originally was working on another write during the time frame for the skirmish, but was so disgusted with the triteness of what I came up with that I threw it away and started over. Much happier now. Heehee
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dragon Slayer. Eat your heart out.
I envision this as poetry slam. Could be spoken or possibly even rapped out too I suppose.
Cupid Slayer
Be my Valentine?
Just another gimmic or two
Every month something else
To help the retail stores get through
Don't mean to be naughty
Or break up the fun
But relations in general
Appear to have run
Dry that is
In what I see
Don't fly me no winged baby
Or I'll turn beastly
I'm the cupid slayer
Takin Bayer
Calling this one out
Cuz there ain't much love
Can't see no dove
On the present human route
All the commercials
Have our brains re-wired and set
Advertising galore
Consumer pressure, some sweat
And bad if ya forget
Or even choose to
Conform to what's expected
Candied sweets to chew
Think that's cold?
With what I share
Apathy's replaced the heart
Anybody care?
I'm the cupid slayer

Calling this one out
Cuz there ain't much love
Can't see no dove
On the present human route
Where is the love when we need it the most?
It's at the store and what we see now's a ghost
I'm the cupid slayer

Calling this one out
Cuz there ain't much love
Can't see no dove

A great undercutting take on the prompt - very nicely done!

Definitely spoken word/rap, maybe punk. A lot of vitriol in this lyric. Good skirmish stuff.

Great line, cupid slayer! A lot of people really went dark and cynical on this. I guess I'm a hopeless romantic in love.
