anzac atomic-test australian-army cancer diggers drug-abuse overdose post-traumatic-stress radiation-poisoning slaughter useless useless-war vietnam-war waste wasted-life

These are new poems inspired by ANZAC day, our remembrance day. They are irreverent statements about the stupidity and horrors of war, written in Australian vernacular. Many are based upon my experiences of helping War Veterans and hearing their stories.
I don't believe in the ANZAC myth or tradition or anything that glorifies war. When a people are under threat they do forget their differences and rally together, and we Aussies do that often because of the number of natural disasters that happen around our country.
ANZAC didn't forge the Australian character, the nature of Australia did that and continues to do so!All Rights Reserved

Playing With Knives- LoZ by dis_cat_ded

dont read this one either Warning: this has like all the angst imaginable dude. i dont even remember all of it. here some of the big ones tho: suicides (plural), self harm, self hate and deprecation, depression, etc. all badly handled/written This place is a message... and part of a system of messages... pay attention to it! Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture. This place is not a place of honor... no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... nothing valued is here. What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger. The danger is in a particular location... it increases towards a center... the center of danger is here... of a particular size and shape, and below us. The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours. The danger is to the body, and it can kill. The form of the danger is an emanation of energy. The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.

𝑪𝑯𝑨𝑵𝑪𝑬𝑺 || Lo'ak x Reader by liv__ing

Y/N , born of the Metkayina clan and the chief's daughter, is basically eywa fr. When the Sullys come around, Y/N is forced to deal with Lo'ak, Jake's second son (and a huge pain obviously it's wattpad the only reason this isn't taken down is cuz it has so many reads). He is warned against it - many times - but decides he'll take his chances. ✧･ﾟ: * #2 in loakxreader #2 in loaksully #2 in chances #2 in avatarmovie (book cover picture isn't mine)

At War by wisteria_in_bloom

"Revenge by young men is considered victory, but old men who stay at home in times of war, and mothers who have sons to lose know better." -Chief Seattle This is an anti- war epistolary novella written for ONC 2022. Prompts 5 and 74 have been used, with more focus on the latter. . . . In the blissfully quiet moments that sometimes descend around them, when the other side is as weary as they are, a conscripted soldier writes. There is much to write about - fellow soldiers, gunfire and miles and miles trod with sockless feet and tattered boots squelching in mud and dying grass. But more than that, there is the longing for hearth and home, and words for things long left behind. The soldier travels three thousand miles longing for home. The soldier finds it the day before death. . . . This story has been featured in the reading lists of @WattpadMilitaryFiction now! . . . All cover credits go to @YT_BookAwards_Covers, who took out time to make this wonderful cover.

Blood and Water | Neteyam by summermoore1999

The Na'vi girl, Tcelia, lost her parents at a very young age. Jake and Neytiri takes her under their wings and she forms a deep bond with the whole family. When Quaritch comes back, Jake decides to move his family to the ocean and Tcelia is invited to come along. Tcelia has formed a very special bond with both the Sully brothers but what happens when Neteyam realizes that his feelings for Tcelia are more than just friendly? Will she risk the bond she has built with the rest of the family? And then there is Lo'ak who has begun to distance himself from her, and she can't figure out why. Will the family that she has spent so long fighting for survive or will it crumble before her eyes? ------- *Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters or the world in this story, James Cameron does, except for Tcelia whom I made up. I've aged up Neteyam, Kiri and Lo'ak. Neteyam is ca. 18 and Kiri and Lo'ak are 16-17ish :)) English isn't my first language so I apologise if there's any spelling errors!

𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓, neteyam & lo'ak sully by hazzawckd

(Y/N) was always a special Na'vi since she was born, and thanks to the Sully family, she grew up in a loved and cared for environment. Though, she didn't know who she was and why she was so different from the rest of her fellow Na'vi people. During her time of growing up, many questions begin to arise in (Y/N)'s mind of who she exactly was, but thanks to two brothers always by her side, she has pushed through. As time went by Jake Sully and Ney'tiri have formed a family and are doing everything to stay together. However, they must leave their home and explore the regions of Pandora. When an ancient threat resurfaces, (Y/N) and her family must fight a difficult war against the humans. ˗ˏˋ ⚠️🪐 ˊˎ˗ ✘ i don't own anything here ✘ fast updates / slow updates ✘ cover by : @-elliptical <3 ✘ ©𝐡𝐚𝐳𝐳𝐚𝐰𝐜𝐤𝐝 2022/23 Started : 16.12.22 Finished : 17.5.23

Not Affected: The Grimoire of Grief & Gratification by iXO_theCrow

"How affected are we?" A compilation of poems I've been holding onto for a while, written by yours truly. Inspired by personal experiences & trauma, as well as emotions and/or trauma others have been through or tend to keep to themselves as a way to show them there are people who've been through similar situations or are willing to listen & understand. Be advised, some topics depicted in said poems may be too dark and/or raw emotionally for some readers.
