Jumble

Sometimes we wonder how he could have killed himself Other times we understand and admire his courage Feelings not worn on our faces, mind and heart a shelf Listen to the words of unsaid message To die is gain the dreaded menace, mortality and yet welcomed The world is in turmoil, humanity is a contradiction When will the penetration of light help efficient diction Away! away! come! come! Voices echo in our heads Sleepless nights turning in our beds We understand today, tomorrow is a mess of rubbish The application of oxymoron, bitter sweet Now only this makes sense to me, does it to you? Let us still carry our light with life on our backs Both my only reason for living. Let the light shine I try to read my manual but it's comprehended and misunderstood Where is the light? where is the darkness? Reward for diligently seeking is it this unknowing Filled with spacious confused wisdom Carry on! end! continue! finish! I look to you in this Jumble God Only your light can guide out of it I will wait as long as it takes You will be with me always even till the end of time You promised.
