Man Walks In Darkness

Man Walks In Darkness

    Sad excuse, not a plus
    just ask Simon Cowell
    Freedom found on a bus,
    words of Colin Powell
    Darkness and deceit, joined happily racing hand in hand
    Death, destruction and misery follows war's pounding paths
    Such cold-bloodied black that it tarnishes even the land
    Encouraging follies from man's feeble, indignant wrath
    Lies accepted as art
    where educations lays
    Those blinded do their part
    in clouding sunny days.

    World brings its hate and pains
    hunger aches, no relief
    Wicked births aching stains
    living with no belief
    Fear ye not, saving light sails forth when sincere pleas abound
    destroying vast raging seas of poison and rancid brine
    Even without heaven's sweetest angelic trumpeted sound
    recoveries and miracles bring blessings very fine
    Man will find lit paths true
    shielded from temptations
    His word reigns over you
    Love's greatest sensations.
