Darkness
5/19/21
"Darkness"
Often looking for targets
Thinking they're the smartest
And sharpest
So quick to start it
This world can be heartless
What the f*** is wrong with people
Why do they got to be so evil
Constant carnage
This planet and animals getting treated like garbage
2 avenues, getting out alive, or becoming a carcass
In situations that are dangerous, far from harmless
Regardless
I always got to do my darndest
As I go in the light and darkness
Energy and power is being harnessed
Underneath, occasional full moons and nights that are starless
Evidence found or swept under the rug and carpets
Don't expect success if you didn't try your hardest
Even then if you did, might have to try again, to get the farthest
These words mark this
It had the smallest impact or one of the largest
Sometimes it just comes naturally
In a world with gravity
The agony
And insanity
Mixed with calamity
And brutality
Yet another casualty
It's gone beyond a tragedy
Past the point of being sad to me
Makes me as mad as can be
In all actuality
It's not fantasy
This is reality
There is mortality
And too much vanity
As well as pugnacity
Many fast to call my words blasphemy
With far too much profanity
Has no effect on my mentality
I appreciate the honesty actually
I do have the audacity
I am sad not running around happily
Still doing my very best to think rationally
It was done in good will not callously
To help a client, friend or family
Imagine that
Multiple times got stabbed in the back
And was always laughed at
Never had a head start
Often getting left in the dark
Yet to find out the best part
You're either dead or aren't
Woke up inside a small house
Went out, to a land ravaged by nuclear fallout
