Fighting the Darkness

The glitter surrounding our world Has thinned out extensively To such an extent That darkness has not only infiltrated Through our borders, but, Has completely invaded our essence! The rampage upon our confused hearts Has already started And the darkness has made it such that Evil no longer cares to wear its mask While facing us Letting its shrewdness, rather, Traumatize us to have doing Nothing else other than staring at the void That sprawls itself in front of our gazes, Lost, in a catatonic state, drowning In the shock which we keep trying to absorb! Amidst this dark night, I hold my light as I would an umbrella, Shielding those who need its warmth From the cold wintery winds that chill Our souls to blind our connection from That from which we have spawned Ready to have us believe that We are like the darkness itself! Faith is all we need to fight evil; Strong, stoic, unflinching and blind, Both in ourselves and in our higher purpose! But along with it, We also need trust in the good that Inhabits us, As if we all switch on our lights And face the evil as a calm and warm ocean, The darkness would have no choice Other than flee to the murkiest corners Of non-existence, never to be seen again!
