Notes About The Poem

For There is a Darkness Contest Sponsor John Lawless

 

 

 

There Is A Darkness

There is a darkness oily and slick
Like a plague in a mind so sick
To look at a child and feel allowed anyway
To touch break trust enjoy lust and rape

There is a sordid kind of soul
Who murders innocence and hope
Could be this was once a child
Victimized who grew up to act it out

There is a darkness in abuse
Of anyone and self include
Using drugs or abusing food
Darkness can cause suicide too

There is a darkness in evil eyes
Just before they take a life
It matters not the reason why
The act will stain and drain inside

Without darkness there is no measure
Of light love and peace doves treasure
Darkness is scary and awful a fright
We must fight together lovers of light.

Victor Buhagiar February 12, 2024 at 10:25 AM There are many molesters around and in all categories of men. Karen Jones February 12, 2024 at 11:34 AM Agreed. Sadly women are included. I especially despise women who allow their kids or any kid to be abused! Special place in hell for them waiting.
