Iron Chains of Light

I lay here lost in the Dark
Big Man Barking 
Talking his Big ole...Talk

What to believe When Kin
Shaded as they Are
Say... Boy Follow us!! or Sin Sin

What to Believe When Friends
Trusted as they Are
Say...Brother follow me!! or End End 

Optimism ain't the lingo in my present
negativity is nurtured
giving off that all deadly...discontent 

Thoughts cry out my mind for a way out
pierce my brain 
Show me the way... follow my desperate Shout

Please oh Please
Beg as I will
Send out this final Thought I will 

A message to whoever cares to save and listen 
Throw Down Your Iron Chains of Sunlight
Answer my prayers 
My Thoughts 
And Make this dull World GLISTEN
