An aegis is an ancient greek type of shield. If someone's aegis got shattered in battle, his team would protect him from the enemy with their own shields. Someone under such protection was said to be "under the aegis" of his friend. Over time, the word evolved to mean literally both the shield itself and the idea of protection in general.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oEoY75Ynl

Sometimes inspiration brings you to write a monstrosity; a horrid, manipulative chunk of flesh-eating verse that swallows the soul of the reader. These poems are so entrancing, and impart their pain so realistically, that I consider them some of the best anyone ever has written.
