Fighting the Darkness
The glitter surrounding our world
Has thinned out extensively
To such an extent
That darkness has not only infiltrated
Through our borders, but,
Has completely invaded our essence!
The rampage upon our confused hearts
Has already started
And the darkness has made it such that
Evil no longer cares to wear its mask
While facing us
Letting its shrewdness, rather,
Traumatize us to have doing
Nothing else other than staring at the void
That sprawls itself in front of our gazes,
Lost, in a catatonic state, drowning
In the shock which we keep trying to absorb!
Amidst this dark night,
I hold my light as I would an umbrella,
Shielding those who need its warmth
From the cold wintery winds that chill
Our souls to blind our connection from
That from which we have spawned
Ready to have us believe that
We are like the darkness itself!
Faith is all we need to fight evil;
Strong, stoic, unflinching and blind,
Both in ourselves and in our higher purpose!
But along with it,
We also need trust in the good that
Inhabits us,
As if we all switch on our lights
And face the evil as a calm and warm ocean,
The darkness would have no choice
Other than flee to the murkiest corners
Of non-existence, never to be seen again!
