Darkened Light
He rose like a tidal wave of destruction
that was seen from west to east
By some he was seen as a light for instruction
while others thought he was a beast
His darkness would cast a mighty shadow
that was only rivaled by his light
His depth of knowledge covered the deep & shallow
illuminating all through darkened nights
Atop his head there was a shining halo
but some saw protruding horns
In their minds many conceptions would soon follow
leading to the image that was born
Many were torn by their liquid perceptions
for they were confused by what was seen
All along he had been their own reflection
a duel natured divine being
