Darkness Disguised
The madness laid in the shadows of his mind
Making its bed of deception, one of a kind
What secrets and lies whispered in his ears?
That overrode compassion and welcomed fear
As blindness crept stealthily into his soul
Engulfed his mind steeped within hatred’s fold
The gates unattended laid open bare
And darkness disguised as religion shaped the spear
