THE CODE

Life is a bloody dream 
Filled with rough and course scream
The road is filled with highs and lows 
Sky is gray where fair wind blows

So, you must learn to set the mode 
Your heart must strive to live the code 
For, in the depths of rights and wrongs
Lies love that creeps where it belongs 

In the shadow of sky, so gray 
Lies light that shines to show the way 
Where hope dies deep, there glows a spark 
That drives the souls out of the dark 

Live with the code, your conscience cries 
For, in this life there are no tries 
Mistakes you make will bind you forever 
To live in mist of stormy weather

R.B., this is a very thought-provoking poem inspired by Nemo’s 2024 winning song. Especially your penultimate stanza, “In the shadow of sky, so gray ~ Lies light that shines to show the way ~ Where hope dies deep, there glows a spark ~ That drives the souls out of the dark.” Congratulations on your top ten win!
