Darkness Into Daylight
darkness into daylight
i want to kick the darkness ‘till it bleeds daylight
i want to expose the darkness
that permeates the souls of
passive aggressive fathers and mothers
who live in their own denial
and lay the foundation
for future psychopaths
i want to tear down the cancerous wall of denial
that eats at the soul of our society
and continues to turn the beautiful promise of humanity
into a sick farce.
i want my poetry to go into
psychiatrists offices
jail cells
and bedrooms that resound with deafening sorrow and misery
wish my poetry
could get her to turn the barrel away from her mouth
and believe
get the kid away from the crack pipe
and believe
get humanity to organize
and believe.
