Poem

Darkness descends,
And the destination lies far behind
God! Let the fire that burns in you eternal ,
Which is the only true fire, 
Light up my eyes to perceive the right from the wrong, 
The genuine from the sham.

I ask Thee, blaze my spirit with your fire
So that I get the prudence to escape the snares
Laid by wolves in lambs' clothing.

I ask Thee, the courage to dissent,
When forced to act out against my will.
The glitter of gold or the sceptre of power
Let them not dissuade me from my resolve.

I ask Thee, to grant me the fire,
So that I get the power to resist,
Justice denied, rights violated,
The weak exploited, the poor smothered,
The innocent accused and the guilty acquitted.

I await the true fire to ignite my whole being,
As the darkness of gloom envelops my spirit
Where fear like worms eat into my core.

I await the eternal fire to break into me,
To see myself bare and naked! 
My cavernous interiors hide designs - malign.
How I put on appearances to suit my designs! 

As I burn in the fires of worldly passions
Oh Lord, send the flames of your fire, 
And with their tongues, swallow the darkness within.
