From Now On

[yuka]

---- to Spartacus

From now on, you will enter the eternal kingdom
In naked disregard for the bloody temptation
Crazy screams become extinct from the world

From now on, you will hold the torch high
Standing on the top of the sanctuary, using free thought
To light the wider forest

From now on, ignorance and numbness
Will be buried ，in the depth of the abyss of evils
Together with arrogant skeletons, greedy vultures
Countless wild and bloodthirsty beasts

From now on, the people will begin to prostrate themselves
On the ground to worship you,
In the ways of olc
Your relatives, friends, and enemies
And the eagle always circling over the Europe

[PrinceMyshkin]

I can't claim to understand all the images in this or what connects one verse to another, nor especially the significance of Europe at the end, but I found the repetition of "From now on" to be mesmerizing, especially as it changed from being, perhaps, mere reportage, to prophesy, to hope - and finally, something of a mixture of the last two.

Very good

Your use of language is not always perfect, but the words you choose convey very effectively the image of one person standing up against oppression and suffering - and like Prince I found a lot in this poem that gripped the imagination.
