Image From the Dark
THE IMAGE FROM THE DARK
It crawls gradually in haste with all it has
No fame and yet able to alter the way we live
Once it comes, it demeans, embarrasses and mutilate
And we do cry all day, all time, cursing
Oh fate what have you done
Poverty! That is fate, you!
A thwart
Life in pieces of rugs and hunger
Surviving like fallen Lucifer from Heaven
Always not successful
… I ask
He wants to know
They contemplates
Is poverty a sign of fate?
So,
Let be on the run
Help me to fight poverty, the image from the dark
Bringing down the curtains of “wishes”
So we cross the desert of life together
Running to God a freed men from the dark, not poverty.
