Exhortation

I have been saved halleluiah
From the darkness of my aurora

An extraterrestrial exhortation
From the grips of an evil temptation

Mindless compulsions overtake reality
Engulfed in the deadly sin of propensity  

Each day deeper into the pit of duality 
Floundering on the cusp of insanity

What is real and what is nothing
Into the black hole of wondering

The answer is written as I scour 
Desperation life is dour 

Out of the darkness comes the light
If only you can survive the night
