Darkness

Darkness
Calvin L. Genereux
April 2/2010

Shrouded by darkness, confusion and fear,
Weighed down by our doubts, the visions appear.
The guardians keep an ongoing leer;
Passing their judgement on all who come near.

From fear, an anger courses through our heart,
Adrenaline starts pumping through our veins.
Our passion flares so brightly from the start,
Influencing and driving us insane.

As anger runs wild hatred takes its course,
And sets in blacking your precious soul.
The pain begins, lashing out, no remorse.
The fire burns, sets in and takes its tole.

Hates leaves us empty, suffering sets in,
When bodies burn and families are torn.
A vicious cycle, we can never win.
The path layed out is paved with pain and scorn.

The darkness inside burns on as you ride,
Surrender, heart and soul, to the Darkside.
