Let the Light Shine

They say it all ends well, 
but I’ve never danced to the tune of midwives. 
I do not share in the religion of living life in blind sight. 
Praise to the poets, 
the singers, 
the artists, 
the clinically ill.
those who see life in color. 
Curse the moralists, 
those who  mock the different 
those who see through monochrome lenses. 
Those are the ones who should be condemned,
left to them, 
The light will never shine
No reason to wake. 
And dreams nothing but dreams.
