Notes About The Poem

Take Up the Torch- Contest

Our world is darkened 
by hate.
Each one of us can be 
a light in the midst of 
darkness.
By spreading love instead 
of hate.
Or peace instead of chaos.
Or joy in the midst of much
sorrow.
Or doing things that unify
and not divide.
Or saying kind words
instead of hateful insults.
By doing this one will be 
letting their light shine,
In the midst of much 
darkness.
So take the torch and let it
shine through the darkness.
