Poem
A place where darkness Is strong and absorbs the light With evils so wrong No one knows what will be done To the innocent people Even though they were strong A place where nasty sins Grow fiercer than any place else Where shadows and sorrows Seem to pierce through the rays The embrace of sunshine Has seen many better days A place where fear discourages The pure of heart to accept Help from those who would give them A chance to be cleared of charges That these wicked groups Wish to punish them so horribly for A place where guns and knives Are more than mere arms These mean that hatred has won And the grace from God Is being rejected by them so Hope is no longer known A place where horrors Are brought into the light Leaving even the sunrise Compromised by fright And raining down terrors Through these sad lives A place where silence Is better than a voice Because the Taliban Leaves most without choice Discouraging the faith That might make a way A place where most realize They hope to avoid Because all who live there Are sought to be destroyed By angry radicals Who seek out the defenseless A place where God knows There is so much need For goodness and kindness The light that twinkles in eyes Who know that love is The only answer to ease this battle This is a war between right and wrong Only God’s kindness Breathed softly in a song Consoles the innocent With assurance that in time God will rain down justice on this fight for souls Afghanistan Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Kai Michael Neumann August 22, 2021
